David Jackson, an old friend, White House chronicler in the rigorous old-school style and a sharp writer with an eye on posterity, has died at 66. He will be greatly missed.

NEW: Powell had a list that included names of lawmakers who he thought would have his back after finally taking on Trump following a criminal investigation by the Justice department.
The Fed chair's belief that he would find a groundswell of support was not an idle thought. It was the product of years of deliberate relationship-building on Capitol Hill since Trump first elevated him to lead the central bank.
The outpouring of support ended up going well beyond that initial list.

NEW: Kash Patel embraced Trump’s attack-the-attacker style with bellowing brio during four high-volume, low-info hours on the Hill on Tuesday.
He wasn't there to answer questions.
He was there to brawl.
And show off for the boss.
Me and @alanfeuer

A defining characteristics of Trump II has been to take actions that have never been taken -- or even publicly contemplated -- then casting them as routine, commonsensical or supported by tradition.
Broadcast TV stations have always been required by their licenses to operate in the public interest—that includes serving the needs of their local communities.
And broadcasters have long retained the right to not air national programs that they believe are inconsistent with the public interest, including their local communities’ values.
I am glad to see that many broadcasters are responding to their viewers as intended.

Susan Monarez is no longer director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We thank her for her dedicated service to the American people. @SecKennedy has full confidence in his team at @CDCgov who will continue to be vigilant in protecting Americans against infectious diseases at home and abroad.

My friend Tom Robbins - cabbie, community activist, crusading journalist - died at 76.
A terrible loss - for what he had already done and for what he was still doing as a teacher, reporter & mentor.
A beautiful, sandpapery soul. We'll miss you, Tom.

AdventHealth — a tax-exempt, religious health system that runs 53 hospitals — generated a 17% operating margin and 23% net margin in Q1. Those profit margins were larger than Amazon, ExxonMobil, and Walt Disney. Many hospitals are doing just fine. statnews.com/2025/05/27/hosp…

I debated whether to share this. I did apologize on the air. But I invite you to read my introspection on @BulletinAtomic of how extreme weather 📈 driven by global warming has changed me. Frankly, YOU should be shaken too, and demand #ClimateActionNow. thebulletin.org/2024/09/hurr…

Happy 107th Birthday to the legend that is and will always be, Ella Fitzgerald.
In 1976 at the Grammys, Ella and Mel Torme explained to the world what jazz is.
The result? People losing their minds. 🔥

Grateful for this and for the @newmarkjschool in general. Going there gave me the time and space to fall in love with audio and storytelling and learn from some incredible journalists. I still use what they taught me every single day in my work.

Recently had an ER visit for dehydration while out of town. Received some labs and 3 IV bags. Here's the bill- AFTER insurance. It's no wonder medical debt is the top cause of bankruptcy in the U.S. 🏥💸 #HealthcareCosts #MedicalDebtCrisis

NEWS: Merrick Garland explicitly says that the delayed response by local police to the Uvalde mass shooter cost lives. "Lives could have been saved, people would have survived."
