@kaitlancollins Congratulations, well deserved! And let me say it has been painful to see the abuse you have taken.

I'm honored to win this award for our coverage of President Zelensky's historic visit to the Oval Office, and even more grateful for the incredible colleagues I get to work with every day.

Something you don't see every day: @mtgreenee and @RoKhanna sitting down for a joint interview. But here's why they joined me tonight.

@PatriciaHeaton Good lessons here Ms Patricia!

Woke up this morning struggling with worldly dissatisfaction and discontent and a general spiritual frustration and unease in my soul. It was a mood that was not of God and was not healthy spiritually. So I battled it with gratitude - started thanking Him for the birds I could hear singing (I love birds so much!), then for the trees, then for the fact that I had been given another day of life. Prayed for my boys, had a small spat with hubs (natch), resolved it (after 36 years you don’t give too much weight to these things), had a phone meeting that could have gone off the rails but ended up on a very positive note. Feeling much better. Thank you Jesus. If your Monday started off badly, start with the birds and work your way back to Him.

@AdamKinzinger @justinamash @dekabri91046268 Paraphrasing an old quote--- 'The question is not what you think of God but what does He think of you' His justice does not slumber or sleep, and makes me tremble. When this is over we will need a National Day of Repentance.

@justinamash @dekabri91046268 This is pure evil

Sacrilegious. Trump is a disgrace.

@McFaul It is the 'Götterdämmerung' of the Republican party. Chained to a deeply unpopular President they are about to go down with the Titanic. Whig Party redux.

I’m not an expert on US elections, but attacking one of the most popular people in America, let alone the leader of the Catholic Church, doesn’t seem like a prudent electoral strategy. But maybe Trump doesn’t actually care about future elections anymore because he won’t be on the ballot? How else can one explain his attack on the Pope? What’s your explanation?

@TerryMoran Spot on, Terry. I tremble when I think of the effect of God's Justice. My only response--- 'Repent'

@AdamKinzinger @Franklin_Graham @robertjeffress @Paula_White One thing I know with certainty. A just God will not permit any political leader to set himself up as equal with God. Nebuchadnezzar ended up eating grass. The wheels of Divine Justice are even now turning, however slowly it may seem to us.

Hey @Franklin_Graham and @robertjeffress and @Paula_White etc: How does this sit with ya?

@TerryMoran A great lesson of history is that moral power is more important than military power. It just takes longer.

“How many legions does the pope have?” Stalin asked, sneering. None, of course. No military power at all. All the Holy Father has is the Gospel of the Prince of Peace, the Good Shepherd, the Bread of Life, The Lamb of God. Of course Trump is furious at him.

@ChrisCillizza My thoughts-- The War is not The US vs Iran. It is the Trump Administration vs Iran. Big difference between the two ideas. If this be the case, then the Trump admin will lose.

And the Iran war appears to not be over

@TerryMoran Worth noting that as close as the US and Churchill were during WW2 that to my recollection they did not interfere in each others elections.

No American president has so directly and personally endorsed a foreign leader’s reelection, in real time, in such explicit terms.

@JonahDispatch Here is an idea--> In the next administration every political official should be given notice that they are on their own for any acts they have committed.

A few points just to get ahead of all the tedious replies: 1) I think Biden’s end of term pardons were outrageous and wrote that they were impeachment worthy. 2) one of the reasons I thought they were outrageous was that they were all but guaranteeing that the cycle of abuse would get worse. 3) Trump pardoning every one in his administration can simultaneously be proof that the cycle is getting worse, while also be wrong on the merits, but understandable given the game theory dynamics at play. 4) Trump outrageously abused the pardon power in his first term. Biden compounded that. Trump has already abused it outrageously in his second term. He will abuse it more than necessary because he will want to protect obvious bad acts by his loyalists and defend against inevitable bad acts by Democrats. I carry no brief for anybody here. I want to amend the constitution to either check or remove the pardon power.

@TerryMoran 'Cleanup on Aisle 9'

The end of this war may be at hand. Let us hope. But let us also not lie to ourselves. This is not “unconditional surrender.” This is not “regime change.” (Ask Iranians if they think the regime has changed.) This is the US accepting a new reality in the Middle East.

@TheRickWilson 'Video at 11?'

Here’s hoping

@TerryMoran She is pulling the handles on the ejection seat.

Why now? She’s obsessed with herself, and oblivious to everything else. It’s who she is. But she’s got to realize how bad this is politically for her husband.

@TerryMoran @MattGlassman312 @exjon Terry this is one of the few books that I re-read every year. It is just terrific. It is not only a great memoir and history it is a jewel of American literature.

@MattGlassman312 @exjon It is a very great book. I discovered it through Edmund Wilson’s book on Civil War literature, “Patriotic Gore.” And in that passage you’ve given us, Grant, in my opinion, renders the most accurate verdict on our Civil War that any man ever has:

There is no doubt in my mind that the best writings of any U.S. President are Grant's memoirs, and his recollections of Lee's surrender in Appomattox---161 year ago this today---are perhaps the best parts of those memoirs.

@TerryMoran Then Republicans cannot complain if a foreign leader travels to the US to campaign for a Presidential candidate. 'What is good for the goose is good for the gander'

@ChrisCillizza Chris that was one grim lady. As a man who has been married 42 yrs and counting I know what that look means. Someone is in deep doo doo and I have a pretty good idea who it is.

Well, ok!

@RoKhanna @FLOTUS @realDonaldTrump @Lawrence She was very grim giving that talk yesterday. As a married man I know what 'that look' means. Someone is in deep doo doo and I have a pretty good idea who it is.

.⁦@FLOTUS⁩ confirmed "Epstein was not alone." This means the survivors are not a "hoax" as ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ claimed. Melania Trump must testify as to what she knows about other who men raped or abused the survivors. ⁦@Lawrence⁩ ms.now/the-last-word/…
