For the debut episode of my history podcast "When America Worked," I delve into to the story of Edward Stettinius and the creation of the UN

It's a story with sex, spying, betrayal and, most importantly, bipartisanship and compromise

Great to see, per @Milbank, that liberal think tanks are realizing that Trump‘s expansion of executive power gives the next Dem administration license to pursue the much bolder policy changes that @monthly has been advocating for years…/1 https://t.co/0EEmtzykBy

Trump's refusal to reauthorize the Section 702 surveillance program unless it’s linked to a voter suppression bill risks leaving America vulnerable to terrorist attack, @billscher writes.

A new PwC study, based on more than 1 billion job ads worldwide and 2.4 million entry-level roles in the U.S., confirms exactly what I wrote two weeks ago: AI is making entry-level jobs less entry-level. @monthly

Trump's deal-making reputation is in tatters after the Iran War. But the biggest loser, @billscher argues, is Netanyahu—whose every gamble backfired, strengthening Iran and weakening Israel's American alliance. https://t.co/p9ShzEyYzz

Couldn’t agree more. https://t.co/uybTCgUkHc

[Bill Scher @billscher]

@fenstermakerd Platner would have to agree. Highly unlikely unless something worse comes out and his funding dries up.

[Bill Scher @billscher]

It’s very simple Maine

If you want Platner, rank Platner

If you don’t want Platner, don’t rank Platner

Make good choices today

@magi_jay @bigseb31213 @charles_gaba I’ve checked the link a lot since the WSJ story and every time it is been active

[Bill Scher @billscher]

Maybe not

[Jeb Bush @JebBush]

Maybe the best political ad of the year.

If there’s anyone who should sit down before calling someone a hypocrite for supporting an abusive misogynist candidate it’s Scott Jennings

[TV News Now @TVNewsNow]

🚨 NEW: Scott Jennings BLASTS Democrats supporting Platner campaign: “This is the most insane amount of hypocrisy in the pursuit of political power.. We need a Democratic party that can stand up to people like this, not promote them,” adds @ScottJenningsKY

[Genevieve McDonald @Genevieve_207]

Maine has not held its primary yet. We can choose a nominee who is not on the ballot. You are being told Platner is the only option—he is not.
