This amazing moment was 25 years ago tonight. We Americans were indivisible that night. It feels like a lifetime ago.

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.

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

On the Dobbs leak: Justice Alito was "stunned" by the Dobbs leak, and said "It's something that I don't think we can get out of our minds." Per @JanCBS, Alito said that "because of death threats and protests, justices now travel with security and have officers guarding their homes." @jancbs 3/12

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.
