Just landed in Miami for Super Bowl. Learned news about Kobe Bryant, his daughter & the others who passed in the helicopter crash mid flight. Have been in a daze for the last 3 hours. No words. Thoughts & prayers. Live best life today b/c tomorrow is promised to no one. #RIPMamba

I just want to say that I'm startled and discombobulated, as many are, by Kobe Bryant's death. I'm continuing this live-read of the Parnas Tape because Trump's impeachment trial restarts tomorrow, and while Kobe's death is a tragedy, so too is what's happening in D.C. right now.

After the shock of hearing of the sudden death not only of Kobe Bryant, but his daughter and the other passengers, I phoned my brothers. I told them how much I love them. We may not choose how we die, but with much work maybe we can choose how we live. Kobe lived big. #RIPMamba
