Thank you to @ErinNBCNews for featuring me on tonight's @NBCNightlyNews broadcast recapping how protesters occupied Columbia's Hamilton Hall starting at around 12:30 am on Tuesday, as @ColumbiaSpec was on the ground covering the developments.
Protesters at Columbia University broke windows and occupied a building overnight as campus clashes around demonstrations against the war in Gaza escalated across the country.
@ErinNBCNews has the latest.

How about a hand for Sean Clark, Adam Noboa, Liz Johnstone and Melissa Mack.
The brains behind the livestream. These guys took the idea and made it real, from TN-7 to Election Night this week and 22 primaries in between. (Josh Braun too, who is getting well earned Zzzโs!)
After Democrats rode a blue wave back to power on Capitol Hill in Tuesday's midterm elections, what comes next for Washington's scrutiny of @Columbia?
โ๏ธMy latest for @ColumbiaSpec

DID YOU KNOW? NBC has installed special equipment in its studio that allows Steve Kornacki to remain on set all night but blocks his voice from
being heard when he's speaking only to the audience for his streaming only channel

Supplies are plentiful. Probably too many Almond Joy in proportion to the number of people who enjoy Almond Joy.

.@latimes wrote that @NBCNews โis betting on opennessโ in its โunprecedented 13 hours of midterm coverage,โ highlighting the @TODAYshow's segment explaining the Decision Desk, which allows the network to independently call races.
@NBCNews president @RBlumenstein said, โthe audience wants to know the work behind the calls and they really want to understand it. By showing that work, we feel that itโs a really important part of building trust.โ
