Opinion | Donald Trump is a unique threat to American democracy - The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/opinions/donal…

Reporters are "scheming"? No. It's called reporting. Proud of the @washingtonpost for doing its job and our reporters for being the objective pros they are on all stories, no matter how sensitive or complex.

@howardfineman Amy, Jon and I are so sorry for your and your family’s loss. As so many people have said, he was unfailingly gracious and supportive of fellow journalists. He will be missed.

This is Howard’s wife, Amy Nathan. I am heartbroken to share my brilliant and extraordinary husband passed away late last night surrounded by those he loved most, his family. He valiantly battled pancreatic cancer for 2 years. He couldn’t have been adored more. The world was a better place because he lived in it and wrote about it.

@clepro @RadioFreeTom @PostOpinions @RuthMarcus Got it. You and Tom favor lynching her but can't explain why. I'll keep that in mind.

Why Alito’s explanation stinks. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

seems like a good day to resurface this, about Merrick "No Cowboy" Garland. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

The notion that I would be sharing with the world the true numbers about my weight—this was a need-to-know state secret kept even from my husband—is astonishing to me. But so is the fact that I now weigh less than I did when I graduated from high school.

This is the most personal piece I have ever written, about my struggles with weight, a new class of medications and our attitude toward obesity and overweight. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

"Another 25K" for Ginni Thomas? @RuthMarcus has questions: wapo.st/3nyokxU

Federal judges won’t let me buy them lunch. Clarence Thomas was happy to have a GOP donor pick up the tuition bill for the grand -nephew he was “raising as a son” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

With the latest revelations of the benefits he received from Harlan Crow, Justice Thomas enters the Fortas zone. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

And here is Augie, who thinks the Supreme Court should get its ethics act together so we can go for a walk.

The door was open so as not to block dog and make him bark during the hit!

CNN reporting Justice Thomas will amend financial disclosure to reflect real estate deal. 1) this is not enough; he should show Crow and other private plane travel 2) excuse--he lost $ and didn't think that needed reporting--not credible. 3) he's a recidivist non-discloser

Transparency is not Judge Kacdmaryk’s first instinct washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…

I haven’t tweeted for months now, but this brilliant takedown of Judge Kacsmaryk’s opinion by @AdamUnikowsky is worth breaking my silence. adamunikowsky.substack.com/p/mifepristone…

A former—and God forbid would-be future president—wants to “terminate” co stititoon guarantees trust would stop him from seizing g power. We need to pay attention. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
