Several yrs ago, when my @NewYorker newsletter hit a 70%+ unique open rate (as I've mentioned previously here), I noted this accomplishment to a male icon of journalism. I was pleased by this feat & thought he would be, too. Instead, he turned to me & said, “Now don’t get cocky!”

You can’t protect choice by rewarding anti-abortion ideologues with lifetime appointments to the federal bench.
If a deal’s been cut with McConnell, at least be transparent about what the deal is. Cozy backroom politics in the face of anti-Roe extremism ain’t cutting it.

’s anti-abortion extremism will hurt him this fall. Abbott is siding with rapists over women. He’s taking away a woman’s right to choose whether to give birth but giving the rapist a right to forcibly choose which woman will birth his child.

The Supreme Court has shown the American people that it has become an extremist body with a far-right agenda.
It has discredited itself and left only a quarter of Americans confident that it can do its job. Congress must consider serious reforms to restore faith and trust.
