So, @realDonaldTrump , you call my getting hit by authorities in Minneapolis on 5/30/20 (by a rubber bullet, btw, not a tear gas cannister) a “beautiful thing” called “law and order”. What law did I break while covering an entirely peaceful (yes, entirely peaceful) march?

Doctors say they are 72 hours into Trump’s diagnosis. That would be Weds 11am. Trump announced he had Covid Fri 1am. On Fri evening he said he was being tested. Did he attend a rally in MN on Wed & then a fundraiser in NJ on Thur AFTER his doctor thought he had coronavirus?

@RitchieTorres They are not, @RitchieTorres . I was stopped at one and not allowed to proceed because I am Muslim. My wife, who is Jewish was allowed to pass.

A unarmed black man was asleep in a car, threatening nobody. He resisted arrest & ran for his life. Atlanta Police pursued him as he ran away so he turned the taser he had taken from them on them. They shot him. He’s dead. The call was for a man asleep in a car. #rayshardbrooks

Amazing to watch a small army of Minneapolis residents - armed with shovels, brooms, dustpans and garbage bags - cleaning up debris from the protests. Civil society has failed this city this week, but its residents - protestors & clean-up crews - havent. #MinneapolisStrong

It saddens me that so many millions of Americans aren’t watching this hearing tonight. It’s crucial to democracy, regardless of where you stand on the ideological spectrum. Please tell someone you know who isn’t watching - who doesn’t want to watch - to tune in.

For the very last time in this mostly bleak - but somewhat hopeful - year, I have the honor tonight of sitting in for my friend Rachel @maddow . I beg your indulgence one last time to join me at @MSNBC no 9pET, to start closing the door on this year, and making sure it stays shut.
