"Some questions may be inherently individual ones, or people may be sharply divided about whether they are. In such cases, like Prohibition and abortion, the proper role of religion is to appeal to the conscience of the individual, not the coercive power of the state." -EMK 1983

@Doove71 @elysiacb This event might finally get me to leave twitter

@elysiacb @Doove71 It’s important to put this into a international context. America joins the rightward trend all over the world

I remember when voting meant going behind a dirty curtain and cranking a bunch of levers like you were the goddamn Wizard of Oz. It was phenomenal.

@NeilJYoung17 Looking forward to reading it. I hope all goes smoothly with it 🙌

Some groups are pushing to use the Alien Enemies Act — a law used for Japanese internment during WWII — as a turbocharged deportation and detention power. We explain what the law is, why it’s ripe for abuse, and why lawmakers must repeal it now.

Well, Twitter can throttle my post sharing the NYT book review (which they are doing), but they can’t throttle my joy because it is pub day! Making the Presidency is now available wherever you buy books 🥰

[Bryan Craig @bac4077]

@Doove71 @elysiacb 100%! It takes work and time to do it. There should be a medal 🏅

[Bryan Craig @bac4077]

@Doove71 Congratulations! Well done

[Miller Center @Miller_Center]

"Johnson’s success...illuminates why mapping out a [vision] that can energize the Democratic base—while also appealing to independents and some Republicans—is so critical."

Harris should heed lessons from LBJ's triumph in 1964, argues Marc Selverstone.

The most revealing moment of a MAGA rally is before Donald Trump even speaks, @mckaycoppins writes. The prayers offered for him reflect the apocalyptic nature of the 2024 election: https://t.co/LpeZNTNgC1

"Ford’s pardon proclamation makes it absolutely clear that he understood a former president could be tried for crimes committed in office."

Fully agree! Regulatory Office and bigger staffs, please or lobbyist will fill the void. I worry expertise is now politicized though.

[Karen Tumulty @ktumulty]

The debate is not the only thing I've been paying attention to. Here's my latest column -- The Supreme Court just clipped federal agencies. Congress must step up. https://t.co/VtDEGdpHu4

Walked around Gaines’s Mill and Cold Harbor. The horror and chaos of battle is unimaginable. #history
