[Bill Clinton @BillClinton]

The job of Fed Chairman is one of the hardest in Washington. Every move is heavily scrutinized at home and around the world, not only at the moment rate decisions are made, but for years and decades afterward. The best we can hope for is someone who is wise but takes good advice from experts around them, exudes confidence and integrity, and who always keeps the country’s best interests front and center. Alan Greenspan was all of those things and more. I enjoyed my conversations, and occasional arguments, with him when I was President. My heart goes out to Andrea and everyone who loved him. We were lucky to have him as long as we did.

FRIDAY at 10 p.m. ET: In a @DatelineNBC exclusive, eight mothers who lost their daughters at Camp Mystic during the catastrophic floods in Texas nearly a year ago sit down with @LesterHoltNBC.

They open up together for the first time about their grief, their bond, and their investigation into what happened.

This Juneteenth, let us commemorate the end of slavery in the United States and celebrate every step made toward freedom from racial oppression in our country.

As we honor the lives and efforts of generations past, we recommit this day to the continued work of justice and healing. May we strive to eliminate racism in our systems and our hearts so that violence in all its forms, especially the death penalty, will be no more.

For, in the words of Fannie Lou Hamer, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free”.

[NYTimes Communications @NYTimesPR]

The Times set out to examine Secretary Kennedy’s leadership and management style in light of numerous vacancies within the Department of Health and Human Services and concerns internally about his detachment from key issues and officials.

The secretary declined an interview request and did not address detailed questions before publication about his approach to running the department. This article is based on conversations with a dozen people who have worked directly with Mr. Kennedy during his tenure as secretary. We are confident in our reporting.

Lesley Manville takes a moment to acknowledge her fellow nominees while accepting the Tony Award for Leading Actress in a Play:

“Would somebody like to write a play for five women? We are quite bankable, you know.”

@ndmom You look great!! Love your haircut!!

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.

@RoseHowe1 @TODAYshow Rose, thank you for sharing. How is he managing his A1c now?

[Craig Spencer MD MPH @Craig_A_Spencer]

I’m listening to the CDC presser about Ebola right now.

This is an absolute embarrassment.

This is SO non-transparent.

@CDCDirector and @HHSGov—this is NOT okay. Let our CDC folks speak and share what we know.

This is going to explode in your face if you don’t.
