Very happy! Got starred review for my book. https://t.co/oGvQrbHVGK

Excellent analysis of of measles' toll, movingly written. But it's not on the spectrum of creative nonfiction, as Bruenig claims. It's simply not true.

@timkaine Sen Kaine, Please don't cave. You can't trust Republicans to keep their word, and that goes double for the current president. This giving dollars directly to people instead of ACA subsidies only benefits insurance companies. https://t.co/MQBxqIzyrI

@MarkWarner Please, Sen. Warner, don't give in. You can't trust your Republican colleagues, the speaker of the House, or the occupant of the Oval Office to keep their word. Democrats should not cave!

This morning @HorsleyScott's lede on BLS nominee termed him "unconventional." That describes someone who doesn't wear sox. This pick is unprecedented and partisan. That should have led the story.

The Senate tax bill gives comfort to the super-rich and harms 60% of nursing home patients, many of whom have spent down all their savings and rely on help to stay alive. https://t.co/WCrhWYhwo7

@ScottNover @pwidakuswara @JessicaJerreat This fight is important not only to the state of democracy around the world, but also to the future of U.S. democracy.

The day before the #Conclave, my oped urges progressive Catholics to push for sainthood for Francis. https://t.co/d74dvu4C0C

[Celia Viggo Wexler @byelines]

Progressive Catholics have to ensure Francis' legacy doesn't disappear. My oped today.

@mccarrennews Just an FYI -- Michael Abramowitz, VOA Director, is one of our SPJ DC Chapter HOF Honorees this year. He will be feted at our Dateline Awards Dinner at the Press Club Tuesday, June 10. https://t.co/wBlHJ3Fnqy

Pope Francis was the only global leader to speak truth to power, without any diplomatic restraint. His priorities will crystal clear. https://t.co/EpaY14ASar

[Celia Viggo Wexler @byelines]

@Acyn Very grateful for your efforts. But also hope you and other Senate Dems filibuster to continue to press for his release. If one person can be illegally deported, every person in the U.S. is in danger.

So this is in the latest EO
restoration of Federal public monuments, memorials, statues, markers, or similar properties that have been damaged or defaced, or inappropriately removed or changed, in recent years; Will that restore confederate statues?

[Celia Viggo Wexler @byelines]

With all due respect @AndrewKramerNYT, your analysis reminds me of how battered women are blamed for setting off their partners. https://t.co/SmPIyG0Hnl

Hope @USCCB might follow Pope Francis's lead and speak out with one voice about White House policies harming immigrants. https://t.co/EpaY14ASar

[Celia Viggo Wexler @byelines]

Hope @Pontifex continues to recover so that he can provide the moral clarity the world so desperately needs. https://t.co/EpaY14ASar

[Celia Viggo Wexler @byelines]

Unfortunate that @jack_blanchard_ has such an imperfect understanding of U.S. history. When FDR acted boldly, there was a true emergency in the U.S., and he asked for Congress to approve what he was doing. To compare it to the circus going on now is reckless.

[Celia Viggo Wexler @byelines]

Words matter. It's Orwellian to change words by Executive fiat. When that happens, and if it becomes accepted, we are in a world where truth-telling is suppressed. Does Covid disappear if the word is banned? https://t.co/7ZTEsvxXJE

I am appalled by the direction @charlesinrome is taking Crux. It used to be a relatively conservative news outlet, but completely reliable. It's changed and not ina good way.
