America has lost a patriot and humble servant in George Herbert Walker Bush. While our hearts are heavy today, they are also filled with gratitude. Our thoughts are with the entire Bush family tonight – and all who were inspired by George and Barbara’s example. pic.twitter.com/g9OUPu2pjY

Even when George H.W. Bush tried to kick ass with the silver foot supposedly lodged in his mouth from birth, there remained an irreducible niceness to him, an appealing mixture of noblesse oblige, boy-next-door bonhomie, and parody-begging goofiness. https://t.co/LHcd3eRqbJ

George H.W. Bush to @DianeSawyer in 2012: "I do think that you go to heaven. There is a heaven. I don't fear it, though. When I was a little guy, I'd fear death. I worried about it. I'd be scared. Not anymore." https://t.co/0B40N9d4Ka pic.twitter.com/7ow9fT9lYm

Barbara Bush used to sit on the steps of the South Portico at the White House, waiting for George Bush to return from trips. I thought of this picture tonight, and how happy she must be that he's coming home to her again. pic.twitter.com/3BEidkAyrL

When it comes to Saudi, Trump has it backwards. The US shouldn’t have to choose between interests & values. MBS should have to choose between keeping his current reckless path or his strategic relationship with the US@derekchollet & I in @ForeignPolicy https://t.co/wlEWqPs0Ki

I know it's been hours but I'm still absorbing this news that Trump was still trying to make a business deal in Russia with Putin's help even after sealing GOP nod – and amid the Russian hacking on his behalf, Trump Tower meeting, etc. How did they think this was not coming out?
