There are real limits to what we can accomplish in a world where people believe nothing they do really matters. My book (!) is about how we wound up in a place where millions of people feel like spectators in their own lives. And how we course correct. Because we can.

We’re adding a second America Actually episode each week until the midterms! Today I’m talking to @mehdirhasan at 1230 on @Substack live. On Trump’s press ban, media credibility, and how the public opinion change on Israel has affected both parties. In audio and on @voxdotcom YouTube later today

If Collins loses, abortion rights groups will say it serves as proof that the issue still moves voters even if it doesn't top their lists, and as a warning to all Republicans running in 2028. If she wins, the explanations for why Collins is unique are already getting prepared
Abortion has faded nationally as a major midterms issue, but it's a top focus in the Maine Senate race, where Democrats are banking that Collins's Kavanaugh vote will cost her in a way it didn't back in 2020. I went deep for @voxdotcom. gift link: vox.com/policy/503317/susan-…

“America, Actually,” a new offering from Vox, is trying to talk about politics without talking about the President. Is that even possible? newyorker.com/culture/podcas…

First @Substack newsletter: The story of the Democratic primaries since the 2024 election isn't about the rise of the left, but the credibility collapse of the center. + a talk with @SamuelJRob -- Michigan 🐐 and a reporter for the state's oldest Black newspaper, the Michigan Chronicle, on if El-Sayed's issues with Black voters are more perception or reality. Some takeaways 🧵

The @washingtonpost is absolutely essential for the world and our understanding of it. Thinking of everyone at my beloved former newsroom, who are all so hardworking, dedicated, talented — and deserve better from the Post’s decision-makers.
