As you can see from these photos, the pleasure was all mine! What a thrill it was to meet the incredible AI-powered Teddy Roosevelt thanks to the @TRPresLibrary @Microsoft @BradSmi & so many dedicated & passionate professionals who have brought TR to life! Any guess what I asked?

I’ve been a long-time fan of @DorisKGoodwin and it was an absolute delight to meet her at the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. Watching one of America’s foremost presidential scholars put Microsoft’s AI-powered Teddy Roosevelt avatar through its paces was remarkable. Built on thousands of Roosevelt’s writings, letters, speeches, and historical records, the experience uses @Microsoft AI and cloud technology to make decades of archival material more accessible while opening new opportunities for historical scholarship. It’s exciting to see how technology can help bring Roosevelt’s ideas, leadership, and legacy to life for a new generation. #TRPL #AIForGood @TRPresLibrary

Today’s the day! My most personal book—the one that matters most to me—is out in paperback. A labor of love. I worried it would bring sadness, but it’s brought joy instead. It means so much to share stories of the 1960s—my late husband, and the activism and hope of that decade.

OTD 61 years ago, President LBJ delivered his historic “We Shall Overcome” address, calling on the nation to guarantee all Americans the right to vote. Doris @morningjoe reflected on that moment—a personal one—and why voting should not be a partisan issue. ms.now/morning-joe/wa…

When Mary Lincoln needed $6,700 more for White House upgrades, the president refused “bills for flub-dubs,” saying it would “stink in the land” to spend lavishly “when poor freezing soldiers lacked blankets.” Lincoln's were public funds & today's $300M (not billion) are donated $

I wish Dick Goodwin could have seen this beautiful tribute by Brian Williams. 7 years ago today Dick died. While I miss him so very much, he stays alive in my heart & mind through the stories I tell. He was funny, principled, passionate & believed deeply in the promise of America

I appreciate joining Anderson @AC360 to discuss the importance of learning & understanding our history—all of it. It is disturbing that in 1963 (not 1863!) the Children's Crusade faced assault. But that action fired the conscience of America and led to the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

History matters: the Civil Service system, merit-based & nonpartisan, was instituted in the 1880s to replace the spoils system set up by President Jackson, which saw party loyalists, friends & family get government jobs on the basis of WHO they knew, rather than WHAT they knew.
Anderson Cooper 360°@AC360

“I can’t even imagine what the morale is in the government services right now with all this talk of what is going on and we need them, they’re us”: Presidential Historian @DorisKGoodwin joins Anderson to reflect on the first two weeks of the Trump presidency.
