Fifty yrs ago today was my 25th birthday in Saigon. Never thought I’d see it. I arrived in Vietnam a year earlier, and had so many close calls, I shouldn’t have lived. But I did. Every year after was a gift. When I hit 50 I doubled up, and today, on my 75th, I scored a triple!

Hands down best political picture of the year. Hats off to @JimWatson_AFP/@GettyImages for nailing this incredible moment. All you need to know about the Bidens and Trumps is here. The power of photography. @AFP

It was a painful decision to resign from the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation, but necessary. I hope more people around the country will follow @Liz_Cheney's example and speak out about the threat to our democracy. Time to step up.

Best answer of the week: @andersoncooper “Is there anyone around the president who shakes their head when they hear rambling in the Rose Garden like this?” @Acosta: “No, Anderson we are down to Kool-Aid drinkers and next of kin here at the Trump White House.” @CNN @jwgop

The final goodbye. @cindymccain at the casket of her husband @SenJohnMcCain shortly before his burial at the U.S. Naval Academy. It was an emotional day for all of us who knew and admired him.

Whether you love Joe Biden, hate the guy, or are on the fence, watch his entire speech today at the @McCainInstitute It is one of the best presidential addresses ever, and I've heard hundreds. He speaks for himself and his passion: Democracy. @cindymccain c-span.org/video/?530790-…

This is Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. I took this in 1968 when was running for president. He was my inspiration to record history. I am sickened by his namesake endorsing Trump. @KerryKennedyRFK @BillKristol @mikebarnicle @SykesCharlie @BobShrum @BeschlossDC @NormOrnstein @MarkHamill

Susan Ford joins @Liz_Cheney and a brave band of Republicans in endorsing @KamalaHarris -- No doubt in my mind her parents would have done the same. Took this at Camp David in 1976 along with First Dog Liberty. @gtconway3d @SykesCharlie @mikebarnicle @morningmika @JoeNBC @kasie

These guys are too good. @jwgop @SteveSchmidtSES @gtconway3d @TheRickWilson of @ProjectLincoln are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and they are relentlessly going for @realDonaldTrump. They have his number.

Pulitzer winner @Eugene_Robinson said on @MSNBC's @NicolleDWallace show today that he hopes he gets to see Pres. Biden present the members of @ProjectLincoln with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I agree. @jwgop @SteveSchmidtSES @gtconway3d @NHJennifer @TheRickWilson

This is where “drinking the Kool-aid” comes from. My @TIME cover of the Jonestown massacre 46 years ago today. 909 died there including 300 murdered children. People still drinking it… @gtconway3d @mikebarnicle @JoeNBC @morningmika @BillKristol @ccwhip @NormOrnstein @jaketapper

Roberta McCain, @SenJohnMcCain's 106-year-old mother, pauses in front of his casket in the U.S Capitol Rotunda. today where he was Lying in State. Mrs. McCain was born a week before Arizona became a state in 1912. Behind her are Senators Chuck Schumer and Orrin Hatch.
