Barney Frank's near political end in a sex scandal is a reminder of why Congress should pause before forcing members to resign, @mattizcoop.bsky.social writes.

The @washingtonmonthly.bsky.social ran a cover story by the late Ted Turner, decrying monopolies. Timely still. RIP. My Beef With Big Media by Ted Turner. washingtonmonthly.com/2004/07/30/m...

Bill Martin has been one of the most beloved and influential figures in the movement to retell Richmond's story. Over the weekend, he was struck by a vehicle and killed. His sudden loss has brought an outpouring of grief and shock from the community.

Lot in here from @justinbaragona.bsky.social including call sheets from next week’s unveiling of the new CBS Evening News.

Not that I'm expecting it, but I explain in Washington Monthly why upholding Congress's power to create independent multimember agencies could coexist with the Roberts Court's other holdings on POTUS removal power and would enhance the Court's legitimacy. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/01/02/s...

A modest proposal for how the justices can do the right thing and be true to themselves as they decide the fate of independent agencies. From @petermshane.bsky.social: washingtonmonthly.com/2026/01/02/s...

China’s predatory economy is the problem. Uniting with our allies to fight back is the only sensible response. Instead, Trump is undermining our allies, and hence we are losing. There was an alternative. /1 www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/b...

Get yourself someone who righteously hates something as much as @jfallows.bsky.social hates leaf blowers (I’m with him! at least go electric)

Once again, @glastris.bsky.social does a masterful job piloting a principled magazine. Compare this to the vile “I have no view on the Nazi tattoo” stance taken by the Prospect’s editor.

Great reporting from @washingtonmonthly.com Contributing Editor @timothynoah.bsky.social.

This weekend is a good time to catch up on my stories about Trump’s imminent sale and likely destruction of a 1940 government building that one expert calls “the Sistine Chapel of New Deal art.” Part one: newrepublic.com/article/2010... Part two: newrepublic.com/article/2012...

As always, @boltsmag.org puts out a great guide to all the elections coming up. "We’ve identified more than 180 key elections that will be decided this fall—from mayors and governors to school boards and judges—and explain why they matter." boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

The deep dive that @donmoyn.bsky.social and I did into what Russell Vought and Donald Trump are seeking in their shutdown is now published with transcript and show notes. We also covered the history of right-wing public administration and Vought's religious extremism, and much more!

He can't even stick with the pretext they cooked up as to why Kimmel had to go, huh?

“Democrats need to let it be known that any and all Trump accomplices who carry out corrupt or illegal actions on his behalf will face accountability later. It’s the only language these authoritarian thugs will ever understand.” newrepublic.com/article/2006...

@timmiller.bsky.social: “This is the federal government pressuring media companies to silence critics of the president. I mean, this is a straight out of the authoritarian playbook. It is an attempt to silence speech directly from the government.”
