NEW: The White House is the New Green Zone

Fortifications are growing with the threat of political violence. Trump is using it to make the case for a new ballroom (with a drone base atop it). And what it means when our leaders are in a bunker. My latest: https://t.co/KuHmaZrvqZ

For the past year, Donald Trump has tried to remake the Kennedy Center in his image—but Bill Maher, who the arts center said will receive the Mark Twain Prize, has revealed the limits of that approach, @jon_fischer argues. https://t.co/0gxuhSiMjV

I got my start in journalism in Boston, reading The Atlantic, dreaming of becoming a magazine writer, and walking by the magazine’s 19th century home: the Old Corner Bookstore.

I couldn’t be more thrilled to now join The Atlantic, starting an exciting new journalism chapter.

This afternoon, the White House reversed the decision.

Bill Maher was chosen to receive this year’s Mark Twain Prize, people familiar with the selection told @Jon_Fischer and @AshleyRParker—he’ll accept it at the Kennedy Center, “a building widely associated with one of his favorite punching bags,” they write: https://t.co/7iJosMa5C2
