An incredible story via CNN: In Hurricane Katrina’s wake, twin babies were saved by Russel L. Honore' . Now, they’ve woven his legacy into their futures. cnn.com/2024/05/23/us/…

'History Keeps Happening: Political analysis for people who can't stop paying attention.' My new substack, because why the heck not. Most of you know who I am. But do you know what I'm watching on TV? Here's the 51-star flag we will fly on #MemorialDay . jilllawrence.substack.com/p/living-in-fr…

'Until recently I was skeptical about both term limits and Court expansion. I didn’t sense the political will for either one, and I wasn’t sure either was warranted.' ICYMI, why that's changed for Jill Lawrence: thebulwark.com/p/enough-alrea…

Thank you, CNN. Maybe others will follow. Like NON-CABLE NEWS networks and local stations where swing voters reside.

'I asked: 'Ma’am, I’m from the USA. Who will our next president be?' After much smoke and thunder, the oracle responded: 'Of years he will have many, in the House of White he will have lived already, and of letters his last name has five.'' thebulwark.com/p/what-the-del…

'House conservatives are going after the same federal government that has allowed them such disproportionate power.' A great, ironic point from Jill Lawrence from the archives, on the House's 'Weaponization' committee: thebulwark.com/what-the-weapo…

I dk, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

.Charlie Sykes channels Trumpian angst and confusion so we don't have to. At least today. The disorientations are mind-blowing, and overwhelming to track and catalogue and make sense of. We need breaks and respites, but the news just won't let us.🎁 theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar…

Thank goodness for normal Republicans like Governor Mike DeWine, doing normal stuff like making sure the president of the United States is on the Ohio ballot.

Yes. Thank you. Now do Supreme Court.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. One of my all-time favorite columns from my editing period, by Brian Klaas: A 2017 thank-you note from Putin to Trump. Hilarious, tragic, and oh so prophetic. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

How about using your leverage with Putin to get Gershkovich out immediately or else this sounds like Trump and Putin are jointly holding him hostage.

Call me crazy but maybe a Supreme Court justice who appears to support an insurrection SHOULD NOT BE SITTING ON THE SUPREME COURT
