I’m listening to seasoned reporters talk about how frightened they were during the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner last night and imagining how much worse it is for America’s children. If there’s ever been a time to pass sensible gun control laws, it’s now.

I've written and reported a lot on presidential security over the years, and wrote a quick analysis of what we know so far and some background about security at the Washington Hilton:

If you attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, you should be legally barred from using the term "journalist" to describe yourself from that point on.

I doubt that Pope Leo XIV will lose any sleep over this, before he begins his pilgrimage to Africa tomorrow. But the rest of us should. Because it is unhinged, uncharitable and unchristian. Is there no bottom to this moral squalor?

If Trump does give an order to attack civilian targets that have no military value as a means of collectively punishing the Iranian people - and make good his threat to begin a genocide - Marco Rubio should resign and the military must refuse the order.

The media doesn't pay attention to left protests unless someone gets hurt. Peaceful protests against the right wing bore them. Right protests, on the other hand, are homespun, grassroots demonstrations of America's finest traditions & deserve blanket coverage

It would have cost $30 Billion to extend the ACA healthcare tax credits for 1 year, making health insurance more affordable for millions of Americans. Instead, Republicans burned through that money in just 3 weeks on a war of choice half way around the world.

The SAVE act is anti-American & anti-democracy. I’m furious that it passed the House. It’s already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. Voter fraud is rarer than rare—and when it does occur, it’s often MAGA trying to illegally tip the scale.
