Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.

But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.

If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

Congress demanded Jack Smith testify about his investigations, but kept him behind closed doors during his sworn deposition. If we care about transparency, then Congress should release the transcript. My thoughts in Bloomberg.

Release the Jack Smith Deposition Transcript
This week, former special counsel Jack Smith finally had the chance to speak about the findings of his investigation into President Donald Trump. It’s a shame the public couldn't hear him.

Farmers across America are already facing tough times. With the health care tax credits set to expire, many—like Carol Kolseth, a cancer survivor and farmer in Plummer, MN—could see their premiums skyrocket or lose coverage altogether.

Meiselas: What do you make of his attack on you?

Warnock: As we say in Georgia, God bless his heart.

If he’s not sleeping in Cabinet meetings, he’s watching cable news and tweeting at his political adversaries. Man, you’re the leader of the free world. People actually need you to bring relief.

If you're not for "both sides do it" journalism and you're weary of "symmetrical treatment of asymmetrical facts," what's the alternative?

One answer is point-of-view journalism plus a very high standard of verification, as @gregsargent.bsky.social demonstrates here.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

On the CBS townhall — where Erika Kirk was given a chance to “open up on faith, grief, [and} political violence — she was asked: “Will you condemn the violent rhetoric of Donald Trump, the most powerful and influential person on earth?”

She would not.
