"Staring straight at the camera, he lays out what happened in a calm tone — like Steve Burns from the beloved children’s show “Blue’s Clues,” only it’s for adults stressed about congressional clashes."

Terrific profile of Jeff Jackson by Eduardo Medina.

Powell called out Trump for making stuff up to smear him

"I'm not aware of that, Mr President. I haven't heard that from anybody at the Fed. You just added in a third building is what that is. No, it was built five years ago. We finished it five years ago. It's not new."

Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July!

249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent.

Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.
Attacks on Muslims flood mainstream after Mamdani win
Openly racist rhetoric has become normalized at the highest levels of American politics.

Because we took action to defend the Constitution, North Carolinians still have their 14th Amendment right to citizenship. While this case has been sent back to a lower court for review, our position remains unchanged. The 14th Amendment is clear, and we will defend it. apnews.com/live/supreme...

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.

It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)

It's so New York.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

How many reporters are currently working on tell-all exposés about their own organization, detailing all the acts of cowardice of their editors and publishers?

I won’t ever buy your book about Sleepy Joe Biden, but I’d absolutely devour a book about the internal collapse of the NYT or CNN.
