Big news in the opinion journalism world. And big shoes to fill, in the late Fred Hiatt. David was a great editor at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, my hometown paper.

I am beyond thrilled to announce that I will serve as Director of the new "Safeguarding Democracy Project" @UCLA_Law. SafeguardingDemocracyProject.org. Here is the mission statement:
.@jonathanweisman on the writings of Blake Masters, the hardline Republican candidate for Senate in Arizona: nytimes.com/2022/07/06/us/…
What about the stance, though?
I spoke with the irrepressible Steve Ballmer, the former CEO of Microsoft, whose new obsession is a kind of 'Moneyball' for American government >>> nytimes.com/2022/07/06/us/…

NEW: Tomight's On Politics: I wrote about how Democrats' chances of keeping the Senate have gotten brighter in recent weeks. Will it last? nytimes.com/2022/07/05/us/…
Those of us who have spent a lot of time in one industry have all known people like Cassidy Hutchinson — young, talented, idealistic, poised before their life experiences might suggest. To poorly run organizations where integrity is lacking, such people are often dangerous.

In tonight’s On Politics, the great @kzernike walks @blakehounshell through the new political era on abortion. nytimes.com/2022/06/30/us/…
Well this is big: washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
Talking to @Timodc is always as enlightening as it is entertaining, and I could easily write 5,000 more words on this nuanced and soul-searching book that has elements that touch on much more than politics:

Because I've known him since childhood, the @KCStar asked if I could explain how Eric Greitens went from Obama-boosting Dem to ultra-MAGA star. Here's my take ⬇️

@blakehounshell A popular alternative model of journalism is to seek stories so morally unambiguous that nuance is their enemy, and whose moral clarity is itself the source of urgency and narrative delight for readers. Personally I think stories produced under this model tend to suck
The best journalists are the people who seek out complexity, work to understand it — and then try to capture it while making the material feel urgent and compelling to normal people, without losing nuance. It’s really hard to do.
