- Vivek Ramaswamy was not misquoted in my story. Here is the unedited audio and a transcript of our exchange about 9/11 and January 6:
- Dennis Kucinich, RFK Jr.'s campaign manager, did not particularly enjoy our conversation theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
- I asked Joe Biden to talk about the way he talks, which is also the way I talk
- Copy editors are truly incredible. They don't receive (nor seek) attention. They don't win awards, yet they've made every award-winning text you've ever read sound at least 50% sharper, better, cleaner, clearer, smoother, and smarter. They do this every day.
- Biden is about to give the biggest speech of his life. You may notice him stutter on certain words or sounds. You may feel uncomfortable as you watch. Many people who stutter go their whole lives and never step up to a microphone.
- How did a city as dense as San Francisco keep COVID-19 under control? The mayor didn’t wait. She anticipated. Must-read from @russellberman
- Was the recall necessary? No But did we learn some valuable lessons about the 2022 and 2024 elections? Also no
- Next vaccine needs to prevent daylight savings time
- Anyone else just constantly thinking about the second wave of this in the fall?
- I wrote about Brayden Harrington, whose stutter and poise took the air out of American living rooms tonight:
- "Yesterday is a hard word for me" sounds like a Dashboard Confessional lyric
- This is what stutterers face every day. I’m in awe of Brayden’s courage and resolve. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
