He was more than an actor in a fun, often profound TV show. He exuded class—embodying belief in a world not just of justice & freedom, but of the fine & beautiful. In an age when so many famous ppl stoop to the lowest common denominator, he made you want to rise to meet him.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

Never forget Patrick Stewart delivering one of the most iconic Trek moments of all time. THERE ARE. FOUR. LIGHTS.

Truly a wealth of knowledge. I learned a lot, even as an avid court watcher. Masterfully done by @JanCBS. And treating justice Alito fairly? A credit to @bariweiss's leadership at CBS. Read the piece here: cbsnews.com/news/samuel-alit…

The whole article by @jancbs includes much more, a remarkably candid conversation with Justice Alito that makes this article a must-read. One of the most important contributions of the article is the discussion about how threats to the Justices have escalated as an intimidation tactic - but that those threats will not deter Justice Alito from changing how he interprets the Constitution. 12/12

On death threats against the Justices: Have these threats caused Alito to regret writing Dobbs? Alito's "response was immediate." "No, not at all. It was a privilege to be able to write it. And I don't regret it, despite what it led to." @JanCBS 4/12

Last week, @GregAbbott_TX marked the 25th anniversary of 9/11 at the Star of Texas Awards, which honor first responders who've been injured or killed in the line of duty. Every Texan owes a debt of gratitude to these brave men and women who uphold the rule of law.
