Other news organizations should leave the White House. They can of course still cover the administration--almost none of their coverage depends on being there physically. But they shouldn't stay there, raising their hands dutifully in the briefing room, as if it's business as usual.

No! Must’ve been a rip in the space-time continuum — and a rip-off extraordinaire of a plucky Western Michigan team

So does that count as an “overtime” win for Michigan? You have to feel for the Western Michigan players, who played a gutsy, gritty game - but were robbed by dodgy officiating.

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

I admire you and your work tremendously - but was dismayed at your homage to a former UMich football coach who left the program under a moral cloud. Surely there are better Wolverine alums to channel?

Amid the 250th, I'm excited to announce my new book: "America in 25 Revolutions: The 250-year quest of an imperfect country to be a more perfect union." Writing it reminded me that we have always been an imperfect country—but change is possible: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/a-project-...

A project of hope and optimism for our 250th
"America 250" can't just be a tacky birthday party. It has to be a moment when we assess where our country has come — and where it still has to go.

The vast majority of Americans are birthright citizens. Unless you naturalized or were born abroad to an American parent, you are a citizen because of the 14th Amendment. There is nothing constitutionally distinct about Americans born here to non-Americans. We are all literally equal citizens.

One of the great problem with journalism prizes is that they are mostly awarded based on the year a piece is published and not once their true power has been recognized. But if ever there were a case for a special award...it should go to Julie.

81 years ago today, Auschwitz was liberated. More than ever, we must remember. Remembrance is a responsibility. On Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the victims, honour the survivors, and reflect on what happens when good people do nothing. #HMD26

In conversation back in 1994, the late Russian environmentalist Alexi Yablokov explained the problem of rebuilding democracy this way: "If you have a tank of live fish, it is fairly easy to make fish soup. Once you have fish soup, however, it is very difficult to make a tank of life fish again."

Such a wonderful, nuanced essay. So many of us, I think, don’t know quite how to feel about Nuzzi - is she victim or villain? - and Walsh captures that ambivalence splendidly. Essays don’t always have to be violent polemics; they also can be, as this one is, thoughtful explorations of the times.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
