Starting June 15, I’m making the move that I've worked toward since the day I arrived. I’ll be taking the helm of @11thhourmsnow.bsky.social on @ms.now. The 11th Hour is where I started at this network a decade ago. Coming back is a full circle moment for me, and I hope you'll join me.
See you 6/15

President Trump’s habit of naming things after himself is self-aggrandizing, but it has deeper implications, says historian Jason Stanley. “You can't disentangle the symbols we're seeing, the face of Washington, D.C. and the country, from the corruption that is endemic to his regime.” #Velshi
