Today we joined nearly 200 nations in standing behind science and approved the UN IPCC Report. Just this summer, the world witnessed the extreme effects of climate change. We must act with urgency to protect our planet for all of us and future generations.

We have to do better than this, DC.

Can’t keep doing the same things, say it’s always been this way, and expect different results.

👋 Say hello to DFC's new staff from the Biden-Harris Administration. Get to know them here ➡️ go.usa.gov/xAzm6

Very excited to return to government today and join the great DFCgov team as the senior advisor to the president!

Grateful for this opportunity to help expand innovative public-private partnerships to drive sustainable development as an integral part of U.S. foreign policy.

Today, the work begins.

The news from Uganda is deeply concerning. Bobi Wine, other political figures, and their supporters should not be harmed, and those who perpetrate political violence must be held accountable. After this flawed election, the world is watching. washingtonpost.com/world/africa/u…

* #UGANDA UPDATE*

Just spoke to BOBI WINE. House remains surrounded by the military - 'the presence has increased.' The internet remains shut off, they are living in constant fear.

Word also coming in that his colleague, MP Zaake Francis, has been badly beaten (perhaps worse).

The world is watching.

U.S. and international journalists, please investigate and draw attention to what is happening right now in #Uganda .

Thinking of the people of #Uganda and hoping for a peaceful morning and election results that reflect their tireless work to create a more democratic future. #Uganda Elections

Here's my call for a national commission to investigate the #Capitol attack and the questions I think should guide it.

Thanks Just Security!

Excellent thread.

Bottom line, it's vitally important to correctly diagnose the problem we have--violent white supremacy--to get the solutions right.

Yes. 👇

'No one can tell me that if it had been a group of Black Lives Matters protestors, they wouldn’t have been treated very, very differently than the mob of thugs that stormed the Capitol. We all know that’s true. And that is unacceptable. Totally unacceptable.'

-Joe Biden

Let's be crystal clear. There were overwhelming indicators that yesterday's events were not only imaginable but probable.

Security service leaders saying anything different have no credibility.
