Thanks. It’s a good story. You must agree, since you don’t identify a single thing wrong with it. Instead you parrot a label, Republican, and a buzzword, amplify. I’d say you just want to shut up people you disagree with—but again, you identified nothing in the story that you disagreed with.

The WSJ talked with Trump voters who see declines in their retirement accounts, but dismiss it in part because they believed the economy was bad before. One “said he wouldn’t be concerned even if the market continued to tumble through the summer.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Wall Street is worried that President Trump's new tariffs could spark a U.S. recession. On @npr.org’s Up First, I spoke with @steveinskeep.bsky.social about the markets, the tariff whiplash, the U.S. economy ... and the changes in Trump's priorities this term. www.npr.org/2025/03/11/1...

Most journalists would rather not be part of the story. But right now, many are. They’re part of the story as journalists—but more than that, as citizens, taxpayers, parents, relatives. The job is to be comfortable with that uncomfortable truth. And tell the story straight.

NEW @npr.org analysis: The federal government is preparing to shed up to 25% of its 360M sq ft real estate footprint in coming months — including IRS + Social Security buildings. AND the agency that manages these buildings has abruptly fired 1,000+ workers and looks to downsize further.

“Freedom Isn’t Free” — a banner in a northern New York bar. Obviously, the banner refers to military service in war. But it’s true for civilians too, even if the stakes are lower for us most of the time. Citizens have to work at maintaining our rights.

The president had overwhelming support in rural America. Farmers are among those feeling the pain of his early moves, and some push for adjustments. NPR covers rural America when others don’t, and my colleague Scott Neuman has a long and nuanced report that’s worth your time.

Well, this is fascinating and not quite how I had thought about the past 35 years of US policy toward Russia. It explains a long list of US presidents who thought they could get along with it.

AOC has long been a leading character on Fox News. And their writeup of her NPR interview touched on a legitimate question about how Democrats should approach immigration. A link to my thoughts is in this thread:

Our interview with AOC is also a special podcast episode. Why did Democrats lose so much of the working class? What can the party do now? She also answers a threat of investigation, saying she rejects Trump’s “illusion of power.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...

A Trump administration official said he asked the Justice Department about AOC. So she wrote DOJ herself. “I think it's important to call this administration's bluff. I think that this is what authoritarians do… They rely on the illusion of power.”

165 years ago today, in 1860 Abraham Lincoln delivered a famous antislavery speech at Cooper Union in New York City. This evening, as part of an event to commemorate that moment, I am to speak from the same stage.

“Wednesday’s disclosures also give an idea of the scale of the administration’s retreat from U.S. aid and development assistance overseas, and from decades of U.S. policy that foreign aid helps U.S. interests by stabilizing other countries and economies and building alliances.”
