    Tried to come up with a creative way to announce that the paperback version of my book, American Kingpin, is out today, but I can’t come up with anything that will stand out from Rosanne, Trump, Kanye or Elon’s twittering. So here it is. Please clap.

    I give my three-year-old a "timeout" for hitting his little brother. You don’t give an adult man who makes fortunes of money by attacking the parents of slain 5- and 6-year-olds a "timeout" for trying to start an ideological war using your platform.

    Have you considered adding a new rule against users who harass the parents of dead kindergartners so much that they have to go into hiding?

    We didn’t suspend Alex Jones or Infowars yesterday. We know that’s hard for many but the reason is simple: he hasn’t violated our rules. We’ll enforce if he does. And we’ll continue to promote a healthy conversational environment by ensuring tweets aren’t artificially amplified.

    the fact that Alex Jones is seeking over $100,000 in court costs from the parents of a child who died at Sandy Hook is awful. and it's made all the worse when you realize how much money Jones and Infowars rake in from its audience.

    Apple is 5 points away from being the world’s first trillion dollar company. If you would have bought stock in 1984, instead of a Macintosh (value $2,500), you’d have made a $1.2 million return today.

    Just a sample of the sad scene we faced at the Trump rally in Tampa. I’m very worried that the hostility whipped up by Trump and some in conservative media will result in somebody getting hurt. We should not treat our fellow Americans this way. The press is not the enemy.
