And of course, I'd love it if you checked out the book, while waiting to learn the VP candidate:

@aseitzwald @SteveKornacki @pareene @irin @ggreenwald @JustinElliott @rtraister So many gifted people, it was a great moment. Blake and Brian and Katie. Sean Illing. Tons of talent, amazing work.

When Al-Jazeera America closed (I was a columnist there), I moved over to Salon, working with @davedaley3, who was super rad. He was a really great editor who cultivated lots of great voices and elevated my own work and others'.

Incidentally, it was @ggreenwald's important national security/ foreign policy reporting at Salon that led me to want to write for them too. When I thought of who would be a good fit for my work at the time, Salon came to mind because of Glenn. And Salon *was* a great fit thanks to Dave and his team.

After the 2016 election and the reorganization that followed, I decided to freelance rather than stick around in the more orthodox and partisan outlet the remaining leaders were trying to create. Salon has changed a lot since I wrote for them. But this is, nonetheless, really sad to see.

Supreme Court justices do not merely wield extraordinary power for life, writes @davedaley3. They also decide not only how long they serve but also when a fellow traveler who shares their philosophy has the best chance of inheriting their office. https://t.co/LbigRe0wXQ

It's almost like Brian Stelter is just a dope?

Jimmy Kimmel plays this incredible CNN clip.

Brian Stelter: The administration is calling out Kimmel, trying to pressure ABC, but they're being careful not to explicitly demand that ABC punish him.

Boris Sanchez: The president actually put out a note demanding that Jimmy Kimmel be fired by ABC.

@AmericanSicko_ The Cosby story is horrific. Definitely shouldn't mention his son's long distance code, or the transcripts that his staff leaked to the press when players wanted to transfer, either.

@LockedOnBC Classy dude

[David Daley @davedaley3]

@TomPenders And this guy too! Classy.

[David Daley @davedaley3]

@TomPenders Definitely care about what this guy says

Lmaoo RIP to my guy. Man said keep fucking that chicken on live TV and still had a career

The California Govs primary is huge and messy. Party boss is stepping in to narrow the field. Ranked choice voting would be a simple fix to this problem. It pairs well with their Top2 system and gets rid of spoilers.

@Kingofcool310 @TheAtlantic Trying to engage respectfully, feel free to do the same. Here's a LWV explainer that lays out the facts. You're free to have whatever opinion you'd like. https://t.co/Q1ASpXza5K

Texas has a lot to tell us, but also @DwayneYancey does a great job of breaking down the backroom trade-offs Dems are making. At this point, it seems like it's less about Trump and more about giving their friends in the legislature a specific district.

[David Daley @davedaley3]

@Kingofcool310 @TheAtlantic Then give everyone ID. Or allow multiple forms of ID. Problem is when states research forms of ID specific voters are least likely to have -- as TX and NC did -- and then require those. Or what AL did: Requiring ID, then closing DMV offices in Black counties. That's cheating.

Chief Justice John Roberts has been working to neuter the Voting Rights Act since the beginning of his career—and he may soon achieve his goal, @davedaley3 argues. https://t.co/06DuktCdZh

New from me in @TheAtlantic: Inside John Roberts's patient, steady five-decade drive to smother the Voting Rights Act, as he stands on the verge of attaining his forever goal.
