Last week, Belarusian authorities sentenced imprisoned journalist Katsyaryna Andreyeva to an additional 8 years in prison for "high treason." I stand with her in the wake of this abhorrent attack on #pressfreedom and join @IWMF in demanding transparency. iwmf.org/2022/07/iwmf-condem…

None of the glowing tweets I've read about President Bush have dealt with race. I covered him for 8 years. I never heard a public or private word from him denigrating blacks. He treated all people with respect. Not his idea Willie ad. Race seemed not to matter much, if at all.

Wonder what Trump thinks of the "sick" "unpatriotic" media risking their lives to bring the news to America about Irma. Real, not fake news

Didn't agree with his politics, but was his dinner partner one night.Sen. McCain was charming,funny, a delight. Prayers for his survival.

Not a hundred days and we're about to get mired in another Mideast war. I thought things would be bad under Trump...but war? God help us.

I awaken to what I fear may be the "end of days." Somebody tell me everything's gonna be alright. 1st tweet of New Year. Sad.

Shocked to learn Gwen Ifil has died. She was the most excellent, insightful, and intelligent female journalist of today. A terrible loss.

Been talking about Monday's debate on CNN and MSNBC. Can't wait to see it. I've been predicting fireworks. Look for Hillary to land jabs.

I got goose pimples when I saw Rep. Lewis lead sit-in on the House floor to seek an end to the orgy of gun violence. Bless the 60's spirit.

I am a dove and I am crying.

Talking on CNN I insulted female millennials who don't know women's history. Sorry you feel so. Get facts from books not radio hosts.

It's been 5 months since my husband, Jim, died. Dr. Seuss wrote: "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." I am smiling.

Lester Holt made broadcast history last night. Hell, he made US history. Let's all get behind him. He has my eyeballs. What about yours?

Happy 90th, dear Barbara Bush. One of the best First Ladies, mothers, or strong women I ever met. A national treasure. That, from a reporter

Hillary represents best hope for U.S. to elect a woman president. Her first term would end in 2020--a 100 years after suffrage. It's time.

Obama, always an eloquent speaker, outdid himself in Selma. It was the race speech many have been waiting for. Not pro black. Pro-American.
