I got out of the studio. It's raining and cold and the trains were sabotaged but this is amazing. It is so French. CNN #Paris2024 1/

"This is just a plane. Donald Trump put a sign on it and said it was Air Force 1. But AF1 isn't supposed to be just a plane. It is supposed to protect continuity of government." The Qatar plane has none of those security specifications, which I lay out specifically here. @cnn

Déjà vu. Next up: Cuba. No doubt in my mind. Bogus intel being leaked to sympathetic reporters. An indictment against Castro. A new talking point about “imminence.” Trump needs a headline. (Also as someone who dealt with mass migration from Cuba, can we think about day 2).

"Trump will do two things. He will start his presidency with 'shock and awe' immigration actions ...in blue cities in blue states... and then take credit for the fact that the numbers (on the southern border) are already low." It's all performative. @cnn

“I’ll be honest with you. She (Noem) is not sophisticated. She is running an agency that is at best out of control.” @cnn

I say out loud what many of you are thinking: when did picking up a kid from college for the summer become a thing? Big global issues and personal woes on GBH News Boston Public Radio

“RFK Jr has a theory of health. There are chosen, healthy people and those not chosen. And he does not view it as an obligation of a society to try to help the unhealthy or sick become healthy. ‘Crazy’ is too kind. It’s eugenics.” Boston Public Radio #nameit

"My first thought when I heard (that Trump agreed) was that they are geniuses and we are idiots." ⁦CNN⁩

“This isn’t policing. This isn’t law enforcement. This is thuggery. And I think the posture of ICE right now is that criticism (of them) is somehow a license to shoot.” @cnn

“The problem of mission readiness does not get solved by deploying more military. It gets solved by determining what’s the mission.” CNN

“We need to commit to a preparedness system. We have to view these agencies — NOAA, NWS — as intelligence agencies. You wouldn’t go to war without your Defense Intelligence or CIA telling you what’s going on on the ground.” @cnn Amanpour and Company

"They were taken, it seems, because of tattoos." The government has no factual case. Trump is throwing Rubio under the bus. And the US sent men, without any process, to a brutal prison in El Salvador. @cnn

I spoke to Jonathan Cohn The Bulwark about FEMA, Trump and the “freedom” to not evacuate.

Security must adapt to the threat and to advances in technology. The changes at TSA regarding shoes and liquids are a long time coming. Fully endorse and I explain why here with Jake Tapper 🦅 and John Miller. CNN

As #ATT service resumes, it exposed two vulnerabilities. The first, explained here, is about FirstNet, a public safety dedicated network that is administered by the private companies. It too failed today, leaving vulnerable a system we thought we had protected after 9/11. 1/ CNN

"Since it's only men, I'm going to use this term. They are freaking hysterical." I know what they are doing. GBH News Boston Public Radio Full segment an hour in:

"Juliette Kayyem, you just lowered my blood pressure." Fredricka Whitfield "That is what I am here for. There will be a lot of hot moments between the US and China in years ahead. Let's make sure none of them happen on US soil." A conversation about buying time #chinesespyballoon CNN
