I had the honor of delivering the commencement address at @SaintAnselm College in Manchester, NH, this past weekend. I talked about "How to Read Like a Human." https://t.co/McZUmBDE0y? https://t.co/okKI8YczaR

"Not only did Democrats keep the public in the dark about Biden, they also kept Biden in the dark about the public." I read ORIGINAL SIN by @jaketapper and @AlexThomp and FIGHT by @jonallendc and @amieparnes. My thoughts:

A Peruvian-American pope? Feels right to me!

Come join me at 4:30pm today at @Georgetown for a talk about political books, the Trump presidency and more... Sponsored by @HumanitiesGU and the Journalism Program. See you there! https://t.co/FoaUV4hX0G

Alas, the final episode of the "Matter of Opinion" podcast is now live. Thanks to everyone who joined us every week over the past two years. It's been a delight. I'll miss you, @mcottle and @DouthatNYT! https://t.co/f1cjF9aPfD

"The newspaper’s duty is to its readers and to the public at large, and not to the private interests of its owners." (Principle No. 4 from "The Seven Principles for the Conduct of a Newspaper," by Eugene Meyer, March 5, 1935) https://t.co/2JLdha0STp

"The United States is not Russia by any means, and any comparisons risk going too far....But for those of us who reported there a quarter century ago, Mr. Trump’s Washington is bringing back memories of Mr. Putin’s Moscow in the early days." @peterbakernyt https://t.co/DN0srfbDAw

"Trump doesn’t want to do things just because they are common sense; he also calls things common sense just because he wants to do them." I dig into Trump's evolving use of the term "common sense" -- and throw in a dash of Thomas Paine. https://t.co/sBvhfl54nS

“He always took time to check in on me, ask what I was working on and crack some joke that made me feel welcome. He set a totally authentic and unpretentious example of quiet leadership.” Read the updated @washingtonpost obit for my dear friend Tim Curran. https://t.co/bfJNbBa6qq

"We’ve gone from praising real America to parsing real Americans." I wrote about what strikes me most in the second Trump term so far: https://t.co/n4dVhdVxZ4

One of my favorite Tim Curran memories: On June 8, 2010, we left the Post early to go to Nats Park for "Strasmas" -- Stephen Strasburg's magical debut. We sat by the right-field foul pole as Stras struck out 14 Pirates. Tim kept screaming, "White Jesus!" https://t.co/jwBrpsbt0I

In mourning for Tim Curran, a wonderful colleague and treasured friend. What a loss. https://t.co/jwBrpsbt0I

Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken (@ABlinken) is writing a memoir on his thirty years of public service, working in Clinton/Obama/Biden administrations. Title and pub date to come, per email from @CrownPublishing @penguinrandom.

“Another fired inspector general learned of his ouster by reading the email for the first time while on the phone with a Washington Post reporter who had called to ask about it.” https://t.co/H26Pq2NSqP

“Representative Andy Ogles, Republican of Tennessee, has filed a resolution to amend the constitutional term limit for presidents from two terms to three, though only if a president’s first two terms were non-consecutive.” https://t.co/ecBn7A6rOy

In 3-4 years, I’d love to read a deeply reported book tracking the impact of Trump’s day one executive orders and pardons. (You can call it DAY ONE or DICTATOR FOR A DAY or LIBERATION DAY)
