It feels like a lot of times when I’m watching people perform, they’re just going through the motions and checking boxes.

When I go a stretch without tweeting, I will occasionally get an email from my mom, checking in.

Just because someone says something, whether it’s at the podium during the briefing or the president tweets, I can’t always assume that’s factual. That’s insane. We have to be very quick on our toes in fact checking.
