The 26th president is finally getting his own presidential library amid the prairie grass of North Dakota. Take a tour of what is described as an immersive experience of Roosevelt's life and legacy, as well as the nature that shaped him and his vision of America. https://t.co/94ze8tMqHW
Look, y'all... this is eight minutes. I know that's far stretching the bounds of social media attention. But you should watch @AmbassadorRice completely dismantle Trump's foreign policy. It's comprehensive. It's precise. It's a wake-up call for those who need it.
Heads-up: What did Queen Elizabeth really think about President Trump? The first exclusive excerpt from "The Queen and Her Presidents" reveals her crucial, calming phone call to him during a furor. In @USATODAY in the AM (and BTW available for preorder) >>>
Barack Obama hasn't been President in almost 10 years. MAGA racists cannot get past the fact that a Black man was President, won the Nobel Peace Prize, and will be remembered in history as one of the great leaders of the 21st Century.
RETWEET if you love President Obama! 💙
What's happening in America right now shows why it's good to have a world with multiple sovereign governments. Research on mRNA vaccines, for example, can continue in other countries even though it's being blocked in the US.
The downsizing of the National Weather Service and the NOAA appears to be part of an effort to privatize the work of such agencies.
In several instances, the companies poised to step into the void have deep ties to people tapped by Donald Trump to run weather-related agencies. https://t.co/DQC2DYvpRU
Just want to take a minute to mark a huge moment in DC. The legendary @danbalz is retiring from full-time work at the @washingtonpost after 47 remarkable years. I had the great privilege of sitting next to Dan in the Post newsroom and working with him for years. He is the last of a generation of gold-standard political reporters who inspired all of us who have followed. You will never find a smarter, wiser, fairer, more insightful, more generous, more thoroughly decent colleague. He is a follow-the-facts, knock-on-every-door reporter who manages to be open minded and tough minded at the same time. In a flash-and-bang era, Dan showed us day in and day out that there is no substitute for hard work and expertise. @mikeallen writes that Dan is "known for civility and rigor," which is absolutely right. Plus he's the nicest guy in the business. I've always wanted to be Dan Balz when I grow up, but the truth is there's only one and we will miss his byline in the paper.
This Fourth of July, let's recommit ourselves to our founders' guiding principles. True patriotism requires striving toward an America that lives up to its founding promise that freedom and justice belong to all of us, not just some of us.
A suicidal capitulation:
*Harvard had to choose btw losing billions or losing face. It saved a 390 year reputation.
*Disney/ABC had an easy choice. Given 1st amendment + truth Miller's a hater + on private email, they could have simply shrugged.
Trump will be back for more.
In America, private beliefs and public opinions don’t always align. @toddrose Populace’s new study, out this month, shows how many people feel pressured to self-censor on key issues. @BusinessInsider does a deep dive into the data.

This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. @realdonaldtrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @jeffbezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.
@howardfineman@TheRickWilson Amy- Howard was such a talented journalist and thinker, one whose opinion was sought by nearly everyone in the political arena. However- no one could ever miss how he placed his family before everything else. You all meant the world to him, and I know you will miss him so much.
