1/ There's a side to the story of woman who are sexually assaulted that not a lot of folks are aware of. What happens to those that DO report it, and need to find a safe place to recover? For many of these women, emergency shelters ares the only immediate option. 2/ Not a lot of folks know what that experience is like, and so I'm going to share a bit of that with you. I realize, of course, I'm a man. And some of you might—rightly—be asking, "what the hell would you know?"

I'll tell you about that, too. But not yet. That's not the story.

@NBCNews Trump is going to get the ability to push emergency alerts to our phones?

Well, this seems inevitable: @NBCNews

We were reminded today that Trump casually uses the word "retarded" as a pejorative. As the father of a child with a developmental disability, I have something to say about that. I've shared it before, but now I'm saying it again in thread form. Share, ignore, unfollow…whatever. People who use "retarded", "gay", "autistic", "ghetto", etc. in a derogatory form aren't introspective enough to care about how their choice of words makes others perceive them, and trivialize an entire group of people by subordinating them in their effort to demean someone else.

Stand ready to be furious at the US Senate today. More documents than the last five justices combined? I suspect that’s an outright lie.

ATC: Turn back around so we can stay in contact.
