I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Thank you to the first responders who subdued the suspect that shot two National Guard members earlier today. It’s an awful thing for a family to learn a loved one was shot while receiving mixed reports of their well being.

Gupta: It’s clear that there’s age-related cognitive decline.

He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office.

Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason

Dear media: A daily reminder that Jeffrey Epstein did not had sex with young women. Epstein raped children and he was a convicted child sex trafficker. Stop calling him sex offender. Words matter and so is proper context.

When the president is accusing others for his own doing and calling it fake news, that's when you know that there are cracks into this story and the truth is getting closer to his face. Reporters need to keep asking questions. This is not rocket science folks.
