It’s not always this uphill — though it can seem like it. Thrilled to share that @APAPsychiatric has honored me with the “Patient Advocacy 2021 Award,” for six decades of advocacy. Gratitude everywhere. #ACPA21 #MentalHealthMatters #mentalillness #cartercenter #memoir

2/ As Monday's Pulitzer Prizes near, I will say/ @McClatchy as CEO we spent nearly $1M just on LEGAL fees to support @jkbjournalist and her diligent, incredible efforts to bring the Jeffrey Epstein scandal to light and I’d do it again. It was an essential thing to do.

TWEEPS: At 5pm today, trump moved to end mail-in voting while continuing to use it himself. That’s not election integrity, that’s blatant voter suppression.
I need 1,000 fast RTs and replies using #TrumpVotedByMail.
Please and thank you! 🙏💪

NEW: We just published a deep dive into just how much billionaires are now dominating U.S. politics.
We found 300 billionaire families accounted for 19% of federal donations in 2024. The deluge was even larger in many state and local races.

A packed house at Politics and Prose last night for a moving tribute to the Washington Post Book World, closed by the paper’s executives. I grew up reading it. Bob Woodward and Rita Dove were among the speakers. “Awful and tragic” — Woodward on the changes to the Post.

Two GOP-aligned campaign events in #Oconomowoc, #Wisconsin: One from March 2025, the other just yesterday (February 2026).
Both featured a MAGA #SCOWIS candidate.
The Trump-backed candidate lost in 2025.

Michelle and I were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of a true giant, the Reverend Jesse Jackson. We will always be grateful for Jesse's lifetime of service, and the friendship our families share. We stood on his shoulders. We send our deepest condolences to the Jackson family and everyone in Chicago and beyond who knew and loved him.

For a second time, the Trump administration DENIED disaster relief assistance for six Wisconsin counties that experienced record flooding last year.
Those counties: Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington, Milwaukee, Door and Grant:

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.
