It’s not always this uphill — though it can seem like it. Thrilled to share that @APAPsychiatric has honored me with the “Patient Advocacy 2021 Award,” for six decades of advocacy. Gratitude everywhere. #ACPA21 #MentalHealthMatters #mentalillness #cartercenter #memoir

2/ As Monday's Pulitzer Prizes near, I will say/ @McClatchy as CEO we spent nearly $1M just on LEGAL fees to support @jkbjournalist and her diligent, incredible efforts to bring the Jeffrey Epstein scandal to light and I’d do it again. It was an essential thing to do.

“His increasingly extreme actions, impossible to miss, cannot be glossed over. Something is terribly wrong with him. It is deadly dangerous…He must be removed from power.” americaamerica.news/p/donald…

Donald Trump Needs to Be Removed

He is becoming increasingly dangerous and unable to perform the duties of his office, requiring the invocation of the 25th Amendment

TWEEPS: At 5pm today, trump moved to end mail-in voting while continuing to use it himself. That’s not election integrity, that’s blatant voter suppression. I need 1,000 fast RTs and replies using #TrumpVotedByMail. Please and thank you! 🙏💪

NEW: We just published a deep dive into just how much billionaires are now dominating U.S. politics. We found 300 billionaire families accounted for 19% of federal donations in 2024. The deluge was even larger in many state and local races. 1/7 nytimes.com/2026/03/09/us/bi…

The Scale of Billionaires’ Campaign Donations is Overwhelming U.S. Politics

Billionaires made 19 percent of all reported federal campaign contributions in 2024, a Times analysis shows, and even more in some local elections. Wealthy donors are reaping the rewards.

A packed house at Politics and Prose last night for a moving tribute to the Washington Post Book World, closed by the paper’s executives. I grew up reading it. Bob Woodward and Rita Dove were among the speakers. “Awful and tragic” — Woodward on the changes to the Post.

Two GOP-aligned campaign events in #Oconomowoc, #Wisconsin: One from March 2025, the other just yesterday (February 2026). Both featured a MAGA #SCOWIS candidate. The Trump-backed candidate lost in 2025. ---- #2026WIElections

Michelle and I were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of a true giant, the Reverend Jesse Jackson. We will always be grateful for Jesse's lifetime of service, and the friendship our families share. We stood on his shoulders. We send our deepest condolences to the Jackson family and everyone in Chicago and beyond who knew and loved him.

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.
