The good news: I was on #SNL!

The bad news: My kids now telling friends that Kate McKinnon @updatedmckinnon is their 'real' mother.

Why does it matter if the federal government gets access to voter information, traditionally a matter for the states? @CarlPLeubsdorf explores >>>

[Carl P. Leubsdorf @CarlPLeubsdorf]

Despite repeated court reverses, the Trump administration is escalating its demands for state voter information. Its actions have rased serious concerns. https://t.co/ooQ36eryqA

Please join Ben Rhodes @brhodes and me tonight at @PoliticsProse to discuss his new book, "All We Say." He uses 15 memorable speeches to frame the never-ending debate over American identity. Who is an American? And who gets to decide?

Does the rebuff by some Senate Republicans to the $1.776 billion “weaponization” fund mark a real turn in President Trump’s command of Capitol Hill? OTWT: Only Time Will Tell. More from @CarlPLeubsdorf >>>

[Carl P. Leubsdorf @CarlPLeubsdorf]

Thanks to Donald Trump, his supporters who tried to keep Congress from certifying his defeat not only got off but may now get paid off. The deal protects the Trump family from any future tax charges. All Americans should be appalled. https://t.co/Xt7okKwUbj

A wonderful journalist, a warm friend. RIP.

[Carl P. Leubsdorf @CarlPLeubsdorf]

RIP: Jane Healy, Pulitzer Prize winning editorial writer and editor of the Orlando Sentinel. When she won the coveted prize in 1988, for a series of articles on runaway growth in central Florida, she quipped, “Well, now we know what the first line of my obituary will say.”

[Susan Page @SusanPage]

The lesson: If you want to be a Republican candidate, don’t get on the president’s bad side. That’s the hard lesson learned by Rep. Thomas Massie and others. On “The Excerpt,” we discuss why Trump’s grip on the GOP remains firm even as his ratings fall.

Practically related! The @Mets hot new pitcher debuting against the Nats last night was Zach Thornton, who is—stick with me on this—the grand-nephew of my sister-in-law. A great start for #49 in his first @MLB game.

If President Trump's approval ratings are sinking into dangerous territory--and they are--how does he manage to keep ousting his GOP critics? My take for @USATODAY on why he remains so strong while also becoming so weak >>> https://t.co/xrzOn6Whos

Hint: It was another remarkable woman. . .

"I always win," President Trump once told ABC's Jonathan Karl. But the war in Iran is testing that assertion, @CarlPLeubsdorf writes >>>

[Carl P. Leubsdorf @CarlPLeubsdorf]

President Trump remains outwardly confident he'll emerge from the Iran war as a winner. But so far, it's more of a draw. https://t.co/QTi88LgdEW

Sunday was a balmy day on the Mall as America's 250 was celebrated with prayer. But the reaction from some was stormy. With the nation's politics divided, no surprise that its birthday party is, too. Here's my take for @USATODAY >>> https://t.co/ci2eLNoWC9
