#JordanChiles,

You are a champion. 

You suggested one of the most memorable, love-centered moments in sports history. 

No matter what happens next, you are great, now and forever. 

And the error of others does not change your character.

The bullying of Jordan Chiles is stomach-turning - Chiles is a tremendous athlete whose graciousness to is the definition of being a good sport. What an exemplar she is.

The funny thing about DT is that he always tells on himself: it’s so clear that what he complains about Kamala Harris supposedly doing is what he has done or wants to do.

Still thinking about how Michelle Obama managed to strike that note of fierce precision and fed up but galvanizing anger... while bringing you along with her. That speech will be a defining one, I think, for so many women.

The DNC/Harris has been so right to lean into joy -- the country is exhausted by hatred. And joy, not outrage, is in the end the best possible response to the other candidate.

The best part about the cheap seats: we can see the teleprompter from here and we are counting how often Bill Clinton has strayed from the remarks. I’ve lost track.

I thought Jan 6 would (and should) be a much bigger deal than it was. Imagine me saying in 2016 that Trump's MAGA would literally seige and literaly storm the US Capitol. And then we'd just call it a mulligan? Boys will be boys? Now he's running for president? WT serious Fuck?

the DNC surprise guest discourse is the best thing on this platform in years. Some favorites: Melania, gorge W Bush, Ted Lasso. And then of course: not Beyoncé, no Taylor Swift: a duet. (That *would*be amazing.)

Beyonce walks in, a capella. Taylor Swift brings in harmony. After a verse, a quiet guitar joins in and Dolly Parton arrives. As the live band brings it to a peak, Simone Biles flips across the stage. A lone eagle soars across the audience, screeching.

Kamala is doing a good job so far--and I'm struck at how much emotion is in the room when she says "I accept your nomination..." I don't recall this same energy in 2016 when it was HRC accepting, despite the historic nature of that nomination.
