A masterful summary of what the war with Iran has wrought, from the great Robin Wright. https://t.co/NGLZbC5Fbk

Sheila Bair, who was in the room when Congress renewed the Voting Rights Act in 1982, and knows what lawmakers intended, takes apart the Supreme Court decision in which she says justices "decided to ignore the law." https://t.co/ASZ4ygrTXv via @ft

The heads of Johns Hopkins and the University of Kansas sound an alarm: Federal research money is stuck in Washington, even though the president and Congress want it moving, imperiling all kinds of innovation: https://t.co/ZAWFIkMUHH via @WSJopinion

These are the sounds of trouble brewing: Senate Republicans express uneasiness with Trump’s $1.8 billion ‘slush fund’ https://t.co/Eqb5YUOOvg

WSJ editorial on President Trump’s proposed $1.8 billion settlement fund:
“an astounding precedent, and if it proceeds it is sure to become a highlight reel of Trump Administration payments to Mr. Trump’s friends and allies.” https://t.co/yUp7145aFJ

@jaketapper On no indeed. A wonderful man and great reporter. RIP.

Oh no…. Such a good guy and solid reporter… how awful

The war with Iran figures to leave the U.S. a bit more isolated and a bit more isolationist. https://t.co/I8zuR3YDXS

Delighted to participate in the @NotreDame University Symposium on National and Global Affairs.
Many thanks to Rev. Robert A. Dowd for the invitation, and to @GeraldFSeib for leading such engaging discussion.

Pay attention to this:

The #Nationals this year are a tale of two teams. Hitting: Third in the NL in batting average, home runs, hits, runs, stolen bases. Pitching: Dead last in quality starts and second-last in ERA. Imagine if they had even a mediocre pitching staff.

This is unprecedented:
President Trump lashed out at Pope Leo XIV following the pontiff’s public condemnation of the war in Iran, accusing the leader of the Catholic Church of being weak on crime and catering to liberals https://t.co/w9Ey13yxtn

I’d like a word with whoever put together the #Nationals bullpen.

The Joint Chiefs on the Army Chief of Staff Pete Hegseth fired:

[The Joint Staff 🇺🇸 @thejointstaff]

On behalf of the Joint Force and the Joint Chiefs, we extend our deepest gratitude to Chief of Staff of the Army, General Randy George, for his decades of steadfast service to our nation. Since 1988, General George and his family have consistently answered the nation’s call with honor and dedication. We are profoundly thankful to General George and his wife, Patty, for their many years of sacrifice and devotion to those who serve. As they graduate from this distinguished chapter of service and look toward the future, we wish them both continued happiness and success in all that lies ahead.

Watching the Dodgers’ lineup roll on raises a serious question: How do they ever lose? Seriously. It seems unfair. Turns out $400 million in payroll buys you a lot. #Nationals

I'm thrilled that my good friend Susan Page next week will receive the William Allen White Foundation National Citation at the University of Kansas. I hope everybody in the area will come out Thurs., April 9, to the Kansas Union to hear her address.

This is a big deal. Voters identifying as Republican or leaning Republican has fallen every quarter for the last year. Voter self-identification tends to be a leading indicator. https://t.co/B3ffOr8OwJ
