She’s flown her last. I took these on the tarmac in Texas over 20 years ago. Just walking around an unparalleled beauty by myself in the mid August heat. She wasn’t the fanciest, but when you climbed aboard, your heart glowed.

He’s the type of reporter they just don’t make anymore. That none of these orgs would hire anymore. That we really need right now. RIP.
NEW: Mark Knoller, longtime @CBSNews correspondent, dies at 73 cbsnews.com/news/mark-knolle…

Directly? 26 'til 31. Now I use phrases like 'Back in the day....' and tell kids to get off my lawn

I learned #btc100k from my mom @AnnCompton who was babysitting her grandkids. This is her covering the White House as a reporter during the Carter Administration. She started her job as White House Correspondent 50 years ago last Monday.
That young lady from the 1970s in the fur coat (awesome), who used a typewriter to write her stories for 20 years, was the one telling me Bitcoin broke 100k. Shes been a HODLer for a while now.
FEW.

23 years. It seems forever ago in some ways too. Sitting on my college dorm room couch in Nashville, wondering whether Mom was at the White House and then finding out she was on Air Force One. I breathed a sigh of relief. Cc @AnnCompton

Mom planned a party rather than a funeral reception. Weather couldn’t have been better. Dad would’ve loved it.

Former @washingtonpost reporter Morton Mintz - 101 YEARS OLD - turned out at @PoliticsProse yesterday for my launch event for #WONDERDRUG: The Secret History of Thalidomide in America and Its Hidden Victims. Mintz broke the thalidomide story in 1962! @WMEBooks @USThalidomide
And Alice we heard a poignant walk down presidential memory lane -
About a far different presidency and lesson in courage. Glad to catch up
With you! – at Washington, DC

Two iconic voices from White House history shared their stories with our @WhiteHouseHstry friends in Palm Beach tonight. @David_Gergen and @AnnCompton are treasure troves of insights and history spanning decades of American presidencies.

I advanced an unannounced POTUS trip to Afghanistan in 2006 when I was in the middle of my first year of law school. We told Karzai we were on our way to the palace after AF1 already had landed. That was pretty sporty.
But this black ops UKR visit is just WILD by comparison.
Don’t let up, Valerie! Before your posts I bought AirTags for all my grown/traveling kids. And now included for them your Tweets. Since this— AirTags for their youngsters as well. As a frequent @United flyer I join your smart appeal to have @United step up and make this right. – at Washington, DC
