On My Mind will be stepping back from Twitter.

Donald Trump is expected to appear in court today to face criminal charges, a first for a former American president. While we wait for the arraignment, listen back to Diane's recent conversation about the consequences of an indictment with @sbg1. wamu.fm/40dT8C9

On today's episode of On My Mind, Diane asks what it would look like if we treated gun violence as a public health crisis. She talks to @cdcaron of @nytimes and @DanielWWebster1 of @JohnsHopkinsSPH. wamu.fm/3Klgi3Z

Excited for this and to talk about the wonderful Demon Copperhead with Barbara again!

Happening tomorrow! Diane hosts two book club events: a panel discussion of Barbara Kingsolver's "Demon Copperhead" followed by a conversation with Barbara Kingsolver. Guests include @papergirlmacy, @Harvard's Amanda Claybaugh & @mathitak. Register now! wamu.org/event/diane-re…

Donald Trump took to social media last night and warned of “potential death and destruction” if he is indicted. @sbg1 joined Diane to talk about the investigations into Trump, his escalating rhetoric, and why the Republican party still backs him. wamu.fm/40dT8C9

On today's episode, a conversation from the archives in honor of Women's History Month. Barbara Walters joined Diane in 2008 to talk about her memoir, "Audition," a story of family challenges, celebrity gossip and blazing a trail in TV news. wamu.fm/42k5Qkd

This conversation hasn't been publicly available for more than 30 years! And it's amazing to hear how so much of what Diane and Carter discuss is still relevant today.

New episode: Jimmy Carter's first of 12 appearances on The Diane Rehm Show. In this 1993 interview he talked about his start in politics, his relationship with the press, and why he felt the U.S. was as segregated in the '90s as it had been in the '60s. wamu.fm/3T30m9i

Always a pleasure to speak with you, @djrothkopf!

The House Ethics Committee has launched an investigation into Rep. George Santos. In January Diane talked about Santos's deceptions with @isaacstanbecker and Grant Lally of the North Shore Leader, the paper that first exposed his lies. dianerehm.org/shows/2023-01-…
