"I think [the Trump] campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment," said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. "When a candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence, to punch people in the face, the predictable consequence of that is that it escalates.” Ted Cruz, 2016

Three more days to apply to 2021 Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP #probono Scholars Program! Happy to field any questions here or by email. bit.ly/AGPBS2021

I may not have a lot in common with Barack Obama, but this is one of them, and a very meaningful one. Your memory will forever be a blessing to me and my Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP colleagues, Mr. Jordan.

This inspiring film coming to HBO Max features two Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP clients, brothers from Syria, referred to us by Human Rights First. (See if you recognize the lawyer's voice in the trailer.) #SimpleAsWater HBO Documentaries Megan Mylan

Unbelievable that we have Omar and Abed Sabha here, who are featured in Megan Mylan’s new @hbo film, #SimpleAsWater.

Thrilled to be in LA today to attend AFI FEST as "talent" (ha!) in #SimpleAsWater featuring our Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP #probono clients Omar & Abed Sabha, along with Oscar-winning director Megan Mylan

Thank you Department of State & Homeland Security for committing to take concrete and meaningful steps to protect #stateless people in the #UnitedStates. We look forward to providing our views as #stateless people. We are inspired by and applaud President Biden continual focus on reforming #humanrights.

Idea to end the "clock off": throw out pitch clock with 2 outs in the 9th (or any time when the possible last batter is up). Allows tension to build, and takes the burden off the ump to end the game without a pitch. Buster Olney, Charles Taylor Schwink, Sara Abbott #bleachertweets

I love Shohei. I agree he'll get a ton of $ - but I wonder how teams will evaluate injury risk and wear for someone who plays both hitter & pitcher. It's like having Harper & Verlander-each lost a season recently. Buster Olney, Charles Taylor Schwink, Sara Abbott #bleachertweets

Oh Buster Olney, I'm as big a fan of 80s baseball as anyone, with Welch vs. Jackson ending a single game isn't nearly as good as Wainwright's Uncle Charley to K Beltran to end the 2006 NLCS. #bleachertweets youtu.be/tWNe6cMsdsI

Thanks for coming out strong for Kevin Brown Buster Olney. The episode presents 2 disturbing trends in America. 1. so-called leaders' intolerance of inconvenient facts (and taking it out on the messenger). 2. refusal to admit mistakes and take responsibility. #bleachertweets

I understand that the Astros are the champs & very good, but where's the love for the Rangers? They have outscored HOU by 102 runs and given up 2 fewer, struggling through injuries to DeGrom, Seager, Eovaldi, Heim, Jung... Bochy AL MOY. #bleachertweets Charles Taylor Schwink Buster Olney

What has happened to starting pitching? As of Thurs morning, 9 of 30 starters for Friday's games are TBD. Bob Gibson, Wilbur Wood & Orel Hershiser must be having fits. Buster Olney Charles Taylor Schwink #bleachertweets

I admire TB, but not sure why folks are still bullish on the Rays. Since May 11, when they stood at 30-9, they are 43-41, & the roster certainly isn't better. They will be lucky to get the 3rd WC spot. #bleachertweets Charles Taylor Schwink Buster Olney

After 2 brutal Yanks losses to the Sox, I'm missing George Steinbrenner. What would he have done? Sent LeMahieu & Stanton to Scranton? Fired Manager Boone, GM Cashman & Ass't to the Traveling Secretary Costanza? Baseball needs George. Buster Olney #bleachertweets

Loving the Sunday night podcasts-energy is great. My Rangers should play in Phoenix - they rose from the ashes! Then again, Sara Abbott , Tim Kurkjian & Charles Taylor Schwink might be asked to pitch the 7th, 8th & 9th for Texas...what would be their entrance music? #bleachertweets

When Marcus Stroman hits his FanGraphs projection of 9-9, 4.17 ERA, we'll surely hear that he can't handle NY. The oldest trick in the book to blame the player for an ordinary down year that management knew was a likely outcome. Buster Olney #bleachertweets
