I ran for Senate and, like @BetoORourke, my campaign came up a bit short. But I don't think the enthusiasm and excitement we generated should be allowed to go to waste — not when the nation we love faces so many challenges. I will have an important announcement to make soon.

Zero (0) miles of "new linear wall" have been built. Admin won't say when first mile will even start. Looks like Trump let Schumer/Ryan/his own staff tie him up for first half of his term. https://t.co/Uhoq7gFFDK

Don't give up, Max! Just a few more columns and sound bites — you can do it– and we'll reach the "tipping point," in which Trump spontaneously evaporates in a puff of smoke. https://t.co/q8ZL7cZ1aL

'My mistress has more degrees than your mistress' — 2d worst campaign slogan ever. (#1 is 'I'm founding a dynasty that will last for decades.') https://t.co/NlorYanxsO

I mean, youd think at some point Gates would just regard the aggressively bombarding Epstein as a pest. Yet no, he visited him and rode on his plane. As many have said, Gates has explaining to do. Not through PR aides either. https://t.co/VsSWW6h7wz

Stevens deleted the tweet. (It talked about Sanford's Argentine mistress' grad degrees.) I just find anti-Trumpers' reflexive credentialism revealing (in different way than Trump's hire-from-Goldman credentialism). Last resort of those whose policies are unpopular for good reason https://t.co/AZia5eKlEM

Who knew that "'aggressively'… bombarding [Bill Gates] with calls and contacts" was the way to get a meeting with him? I'll try that next time. https://t.co/gTGYqWf3p8

Shorter @lessig: 1) I was wrong. 2) But not all that wrong! 3) I was too rational. 4) But people got upset! Shoulda known! 5) Others are guilty too! 6) Look at the Kochs! 7) It's really all of our fault. https://t.co/rnD5Dq9Qag

Also note how Lessig stacks the deck by saying nobody had suggested Epstein made his money via "blackmail or sex slavery." But those aren't the only two illicit or immoral ways to make money. (There's also money laundering or insider trading, for starters.) Ito fine with those? https://t.co/xKZ5tTHLmx

Anybody who did the slightest bit of due diligence–even reading Vicky Ward's 2003 Vanity Fair article–would know there was a lot of doubt about where Epstein got his money. "The trading desks don't seem to know him" https://t.co/XTymZLyoWM https://t.co/CsJUbqguoQ

Lessig: "[W]hen Joi was investigating whether that criminal continued his crime, no one was suggesting that his enormous wealth was the product of blackmail or sex slavery. He was, the world assumed, a brilliant, savant-like investor …" This is BS. https://t.co/rnD5Dq9Qag

Lessig on Joi Ito: "Sure, it wasn’t blood money, and sure, because anonymous, the gift wasn’t used to burnish Epstein’s reputation." https://t.co/rnD5Dq9Qag Huh? Epstein put out press releases. https://t.co/lj8xmqidsl

Reid Hoffman in particular would seem to have some 'splainin to do. Why would he need to go to bat for Epstein? He certainly doesn't need Epstein's money. https://t.co/K7EDToFV6V
