  1. Pinned Tweet

    twitter is a lot like what happens in a 3-0 count. so many takes and so many overly aggressive big swings.

  2. Yesterday I spent the morning at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall watching the Urban Warrior Challenge - a little friendly competition between the Army and Marines. It was really cool to meet the soldiers and their families on their home field and watch them put on a show!

  4. Hearing the stories of the refugees we met reminded me that America is still a beacon of hope for millions of people around the world. We have to stop separating families and putting kids in camps. We have to be better.

  5. That’s why when they get here we have an obligation to at least show these people humanity and treat them with dignity. We have a bad history of rounding people up and putting them behind bars and that’s something we need to change.

  6. That can be difficult for us to understand because we live here. People say ‘if they don’t want to be put in jail they shouldn’t try to come here’ but they don’t think about why people try to come here. I mean, we just got lucky by being born here.

  7. Refugees and migrants who come to America don’t want to “infest” our country. They come here because they are fleeing things like terrorism, wars, extreme poverty, high crime rates, drug trafficking, famine, joblessness. They’re willing to risk everything to come here.

  8. We got to meet refugees and hear their stories and it was a powerful reminder of what America represents to people around the world. We’re still that shining city on a hill, a land of opportunity, a place where you can make your dreams come true.

  9. Yesterday we celebrated by hosting a group from at Nats Park. At a time when over 68 million people around the world have been forced to flee their homes, they’re doing incredible work in response to this humanitarian crisis.

  10. Today I was invited to a ceremony at the WW2 Memorial to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of WW2’s air war. It was a great privilege to share the stage with these heroes and it was an honor to meet a members of the 8th Air Force as well as a legendary Tuskegee Airman, Col. McGee.

  15. By traveling the world and teaching us about other cultures he was able to show us our shared humanity and demonstrated how we can better understand each other if we’re willing to have a little humility and listen instead of being so damn cynical all the time.

  16. Since he passed I’ve been reading a lot about him and binge watching Parts Unknown. He was such an amazing storyteller. I’m in awe of his openness, his ability to listen and connect with all different kinds of people and really learn about them.

  17. “Maybe that’s enlightenment enough: to know that there is no final resting place of the mind; no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom is realizing how small I am ... and how far I have yet to go.” Even though he’s gone, there is still so much we can learn from Anthony Bourdain.
