Good morning, and happy holidays to all!

I'm in San Francisco, working on the Twitter story. In an effort to be a fully-present Dad on the holiday tomorrow, I'm going to empty some #TwitterFiles notes throughout the morning.

At around 9 a.m. EST I'll be releasing a thread on Twitter's relationship to other government agencies - including some that don't like to see their name in print much.

I may add a few other items, and answer some questions people have about all this, throughout the day.

Thanks, and see you in an hour or so.
