Saturday Night
Just a quick note from me tonight—I’ve been in Austin for the amazing Texas Tribune Festival, a celebration of non-profit journalism where thousands of people get together for three days of fascinating panels. You may have heard a little bit about it—Liz Cheney announced her Dad was voting for Kamala Harris here earlier this week!
I had the great good fortune to be here with this amazing crew of friends for a panel called Donald Trump versus the Department of Justice, with my friends Katie Phang from MSNBC, Katie Benner from the New York Times, Hugo Lowell from the Guardian, and former FBI Agent Frank Figliuzzi. And Preet Bharara and I taped an episode of our Insider podcast with the Atlantic’s Editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, which was fun, but also frightening. Talk about what a Trump 2.0 administration would look like is a stark reminder of the gravity of the moment we are living in.
See you tomorrow night with The Week Ahead edition of Civil Discourse.
We’re in this together,
Joyce
Liz and Dick Cheney also endorsed Colin Allred in his campaign to replace Ted Cruz while you were in Texas. Truly country before party.
I just recommended Liz Cheney's book to yet another person. As I say when making the recommendation, I doubt that Liz and I have ever voted for the same things in our entire lives. But her book is not to be missed. And yes, it will keep you up nights wondering how our system became this corrupt, this amoral, this unable to take down the thieves that tried and are still trying to destroy this country. And double yay to her father....I have never been a fan at all, but now I see him and his daughter as modern day heroes . And we are desperately in need of those now.
