Podcast appearances and mentions of Karen Tumulty

President Trump keeps losing in court. A few Republican senators have started to criticize his administration's actions, albeit mildly. And consumer confidence and the stock market are plunging with news of more and more tariffs. Are we starting to see some cracks in the MAGA unity that's held strong since Trump's victory in November? Columnists Dana Milbank, Karen Tumulty and Jason Willick discuss whether there's a line Trump can't cross, and what the special elections this week could reveal about the political atmosphere outside of Washington.

[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. If you have suggestions or feedback on how I can earn your paid subscription, shoot me an email: cmclymer@gmail.com.]Yesterday, just before noon, The Washington Post, through CEO William Lewis, announced it would not endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential election, the first time the nation's third-largest daily newspaper by circulation hasn't done so in nearly four decades.The announcement was shocking for two immediate reasons.The most grave—and, frankly, terrifying—reason is that the United States is obviously at threat of sliding into a horrific dictatorship from which it's difficult to see how we'd ever recover. Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have made it abundantly clear that they aspire to devolve our nation into the world's most powerful authoritarian regime. One need look no further than the chilling plans outlined in Project 2025.But there are many other warning signs, too. A small sampling:There's Trump openly praising Hitler's generals, according to his former chief-of-staff John Kelly (himself a retired four-star Marine Corps general), just the latest marker of fascist narcissism in Trump's very long and documented history of being obsessed with dictators.There's Trump repeatedly pledging to carry out the largest deportation of undocumented migrants in American history, a sweat-lipped plan made in blustering tones that somehow manages to exceed its inherent cruelty with an inexplicable failure to understand basic economics.(Not only is it logistically impossible to deport our nation's 11 million undocumented migrants, not only would it cost taxpayers an estimated quarter trillion to do so, but the American economy would completely collapse from the loss in labor force.)There's Trump's flagrant disregard for the Constitution and the rule of law: an indictment that resulted in a guilty verdict on 34 felony counts (his sentencing for that is on Nov. 26th), three other pending indictments on 52 more felony counts, two impeachments, being found liable for defamation of a woman he raped, etc.Oh, and, of course, there's Trump's frequent statements to serve past the constitutional limit of two terms as president (I'm sure he's just kidding), and the extremist conservative majority of the Supreme Court ruling last year that Trump is essentially a king beyond accountability for official acts in office.That's all an abbreviated version of why Donald Trump is obviously unfit.The second reason is The Washington Post's abdication of journalistic integrity under the ownership of Jeff Bezos, a development that is especially chilling for a publication that has long prided itself on being the vanguard for American democracy and free speech.The storied newspaper has won 76 Pulitzer Prizes over its history—second only to The New York Times—one of which was for the investigative reporting by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein that eventually led to the resignation of Richard Nixon. Another was for the reporting on the Jan. 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.The Washington Post has long been synonymous with the essential role of the free press in a healthy, functioning democracy in the same manner we associate Babe Ruth with baseball or July Fourth with fireworks or Dolly Parton with a clean soul.And so, it was with great confusion and incredulity that I read Mr. Lewis' painfully shameless attempt to justify the decision. He sure did try to put on a powdered wig and insist that the bowl of s**t he wanted to feed to the American public was actually chicken soup for the American soul.Most curiously, in writing about The Washington Post's history of largely declining to endorse presidential candidates prior to 1976, he stated that year's endorsement for then-Gov. Jimmy Carter was made “for understandable reasons at the time…”Did you catch that? He's obliquely referencing Watergate, the scandal that brought down Nixon with reporting by the paper — Nixon, who, by any measurable standard, comes across like Lincoln when compared to Trump.Mr. Lewis, for some odd reason, thought it persuasive to essentially say: “Look, we don't regret endorsing Carter because Nixon was terrible, but also: Trump is not nearly terrible enough to justify continuing this dangerous practice of presidential endorsements.”Furthermore, aside from the dollar store cheap imitation of logic, he failed to mention in his desperate, sorry excuse for rationalizing that The Washington Post, for the past several weeks, had been drafting an approved endorsement for Vice President Harris.He failed to mention that the endorsement was still on track a week ago, and there was no indication that it would be halted for any reason, let alone on the rather cringe-inducing reasoning he put forward in his announcement.He failed to mention that Trump met today with corporate leaders of aerospace company Blue Origin—also owned by Bezos—which is, at best, godawful timing or a pretty clear signal of Bezos' reasoning in killing the endorsement. Maybe both.Probably both.If none of this makes sense, you're far from alone. It completely failed to persuade the staff and alums of The Washington Post. Conservative columnist and editor-at-large Robert Kagan immediately resigned in protest. Sixteen other Washington Post columnists—Perry Bacon Jr., Matt Bai, Max Boot, E.J. Dionne Jr., Lee Hockstader, David Ignatius, Heather Long, Ruth Marcus, Dana Milbank, Alexandra Petri, Catherine Rampell, Eugene Robinson, Jennifer Rubin, Karen Tumulty, and Erik Wemple—published this statement on the paper's website:The Washington Post's decision not to make an endorsement in the presidential campaign is a terrible mistake. It represents an abandonment of the fundamental editorial convictions of the newspaper that we love. This is a moment for the institution to be making clear its commitment to democratic values, the rule of law and international alliances, and the threat that Donald Trump poses to them — the precise points The Post made in endorsing Trump's opponents in 2016 and 2020. There is no contradiction between The Post's important role as an independent newspaper and its practice of making political endorsements, both as a matter of guidance to readers and as a statement of core beliefs. That has never been more true than in the current campaign. An independent newspaper might someday choose to back away from making presidential endorsements. But this isn't the right moment, when one candidate is advocating positions that directly threaten freedom of the press and the values of the Constitution.Mr. Woodward and Mr. Bernstein issued this statement:We respect the traditional independence of the editorial page, but this decision 12 days out from the 2024 presidential election ignores the Washington Post's own overwhelming reportorial evidence on the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy. Under Jeff Bezos's ownership, the Washington Post's news operation has used its abundant resources to rigorously investigate the danger and damage a second Trump presidency could cause to the future of American democracy and that makes this decision even more surprising and disappointing, especially this late in the electoral process.Retired WaPo executive editor Martin Baron, who led the paper from 2012 thru 2021, including the tumultuous years of Trump's presidency, responded with a scathing statement: “This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. Donald Trump will see this as invitation to further intimidate owner Jeff Bezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.”The Washington Post Guild—the paper's employee union—had this to say:We are deeply concerned that The Washington Post—an American news institution in the nation's capital—would make the decision to no longer endorse presidential candidates, especially a mere 11 days ahead of an immensely consequential election. The role of an Editorial Board is to do just this: to share opinion on the news impacting our society and culture and endorse candidates to help guide readers.The message from our chief executive, Will Lewis—not from the Editorial Board itself—makes us concerned that management interfered with the work of our members in Editorial. According to our own reporters and Guild members, an endorsement for Harris was already drafted, and the decision to not publish was made by The Post's owner, Jeff Bezos. We are already seeing cancellations from once loyal readers. This decision undercuts the work of our members at a time when we should be building our readers' trust, not losing it.Washington Post editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes published this jarring work on the paper's website, titling it “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” referencing WaPo's official slogan that was introduced in 2017, just a month after Trump took office.As of 7:30pm yesterday, Semafor's Max Tani reported that at least 2,000 subscriptions to the paper had been canceled in the previous 24 hours, the overwhelming bulk of those likely being in the seven-and-a-half hours following the announcement from Mr. Lewis. Numerous public figures—including Stephen King, Mark Hamill, Jon Cryer, and former Congresswoman Marie Newman—publicly announced they were cancelling their own subscriptions.Last night, I made the same decision. I had heard rumblings early in the morning from friends in media that WaPo was about to announce a non-endorsement, credible enough that I mentioned it during a 10am meeting with colleagues and they were understandably shocked.I spent most of yesterday morning and afternoon, in the midst of a very busy schedule, privately agonizing over what I would do as a subscriber.Over the years, I've published a number of op-eds in The Washington Post, pieces of which I'm quite proud in a paper I've put on a pedestal since I was a kid, and I've worked with numerous editors and reporters at the outlet whom I admire for their professionalism and public service.It is not lost on me that cancelling a newspaper subscription will not hurt Jeff Bezos but will hurt those employed at the paper.And yet, as much as my heart breaks for the staff of The Washington Post, who haven't done anything to deserve this, I am still left with the simple truth that if Bezos is willing to kill an endorsement 11 days out, whether out of fear or ambition, what else is he willing to do with the paper?There are numerous journalists at the outlet doing critical work, but how we do know anymore when Jeff Bezos is putting his thumb on the scale, backed up by a complicit CEO who blatantly lies about the paper's direction?There have to be consequences for an action this brazen and irresponsible and dangerous for our democracy. Something's gotta give. I respect the decisions of other subscribers, but I simply cannot stomach giving another dime in reward to a publication with such great influence that can be used to do such great harm moving forward.It is my hope that there will be a time, after Vice President Harris is elected, after Trump is held accountable, after the craven capitalists of media have learned there's not much to be made in the long run from these corrupt and shameless tactics, that The Washington Post will be restored to its former glory.In the meantime, I will pay for my news elsewhere.Charlotte's Web Thoughts is a reader-supported publication.

Bill talks with Karen Tumulty, Associate Editor and Opinion Columnist at The Washington Post about importance of the abortion issue in the 2024 presidential election, particularly in light of Donald Trump's comments on the topic. It highlights Trump's attempts to portray himself as a friend to women despite his role in overturning Roe v. Wade, and the backlash this has faced from the public. They also examine other Republican candidates' comments on abortion, such as Bernie Moreno and JD Vance, and the potential impact these could have on the party's standing with women voters. Additionally, they explore the role of Vice President Kamala Harris as a messenger on reproductive rights and the possibility that the Dobbs decision could propel her to the presidency. Overall, they suggest that the abortion issue could be a deciding factor in the 2024 election, with the potential to swing the outcome.Today Bill highlights the work of three organizations working to help people in North Carolina, Georgia and Virginia whose lives have been upended by the monster storm Helene.

In deze bewogen tijden zoekt Betrouwbare Bronnen voor haar luisteraars inhoud die helpt begrijpen wat we nu meemaken. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger behandelen in deze editie daarom een reeks boeken die daarbij van belang kunnen zijn.Twee boeken gaan over de meest duistere kanten van de geschiedenis en actualiteit van Rusland. Dat zijn Stalin's War van Sean McMeekin en Putin's People van Catherine Belton. Allebei nieuwe en verrassende analyses van het bewind van deze twee leiders. In Stalin's War komt op basis van diepgaand, nieuw archiefonderzoek naar voren hoe intensief de samenwerking was tussen het Kremlin en Hitler en waarom Stalin daar zo aan hechtte. Ook de kille machtscalculatie van president Roosevelt bij de steun voor de Sovjet-Unie valt hierin op.Putin's People leverde de schrijfster woedende reacties en juridische aanklachten op van oligarchen. Het deed erg zeer dus. En dat is te begrijpen, zegt PG, want het boek is een diepgravende analyse van de netwerken en vazallen die Poetin naar de macht tilden en de ijzingwekkende rol van zijn ‘tsjekisten' daarbij.Maar Rusland heeft ook een heel andere kant en die mogen we nooit vergeten, juist nu niet. Het sublieme Natasja's dans van Orlando Figes is een onuitputtelijke inspiratiebron voor de liefde voor de kunst, cultuur, historie en het genie van het Russische volk. De schrijver schetst de ontwikkeling van die cultuur in de jaren na de triomf van de tsaren als de Europa's bevrijders van Napoleons tirannie. Rusland ging zichzelf toen zoeken en vond zich opnieuw uit. Echo's hiervan klinken vertekend en bitter door in de speeches die Poetin nu houdt.Net vertaald in het Nederlands is het meeslepende verhaal van Simon Sebag Montefiore over het wellicht machtigste liefdespaar uit de wereldgeschiedenis. Tsarina Catharina II en vorst Grigori Potjomkin. De Britse historicus haalt vele mythes over haar en hem omver en maakt hen beide alleen maar nog boeiender daarmee. Samen maakten zij Rusland de 'superpower' waarvan Poetin droomt. Samen veroverden zij de gebieden die Poetin nu in zijn greep wil krijgen. Zij stichtten de stad Odessa en gaven deze en heel Rusland een culturele bloei als zelden in de geschiedenis. Daarbij is het persoonlijke verhaal van hun liefde en wederzijdse inspiratie uniek.Ook nét vertaald is wat PG al vaker in de podcast (bijvoorbeeld in aflevering 14) 'het belangrijkste geschiedenisboek van de voorbije 25 jaar' noemde. De metamorfose van de wereld van Jürgen Osterhammel. Hij schreef er een nieuw voorwoord bij als eerbetoon aan Nederland en de wetenschap in ons land. Wie de 21e eeuw en de tijden van globalisering beter wil leren begrijpen moet dit magnum opus over de 19e eeuw lezen. Jaap en PG bespreken ook twee nieuwe biografieën van bijzondere, vaak moeilijk begrepen mensen. Presidentsvrouw Nancy Reagan (The Triumph of Nancy Reagan door Karen Tumulty) en 'vader des vaderlands' Willem van Oranje (De Zwijger door René van Stipriaan). Wat maakt hen zo bijzonder? Welk stempel drukte hun merkwaardige jeugd op hun leven? Wie waren de sleutelfiguren in dat leven?Tot slot bespreekt PG een roman die premier Mark Rutte in deze zware weken mag helpen opbeuren en ontspannen. Hij gaat over de schrijver wiens eindeloze dagboeken hij allemaal gelezen heeft: Thomas Mann. PG las De tovenaar van Colm Tóibín in één adem uit.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars via Vriend van de Show. Sponsoring of adverteren is ook mogelijk.

The made-in-Hollywood marriage of Ronald and Nancy Reagan is more than a love story—it's the partnership that made him president. Of the pair, Nancy was the one with the sharper instincts about people, the superior radar for trouble, and the keen sense of how to secure his place in history. The only person in the world to whom Ronald Reagan felt truly close, Nancy understood how to foster his strengths and compensate for his weaknesses. Neither timid nor apologetic about wielding her power, Nancy Reagan made herself a place in history. In this episode we interview the Karen Tumulty, the author of The Triumph of Nancy Reagan.KAREN TUMULTYhttps://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Triumph-of-Nancy-Reagan/Karen-Tumulty/9781501165191JOIN PREMIUMListen ad-free for only $5/month at www.bit.ly/TAPpremiumFOLLOW USwww.linktr.ee/thisamericanpresidentCREDITSHost: Richard LimProducer: Michael NealArtist: Nip Rogers, www.NipRogers.com

Listen all y'all it's a sabotage: In todays episode,  Chris drills down on the question of whether Dems, GOP and frankly, all of us are sabotaging what matters instead of fixing what's broken.  This applies to  the continuing issuance of House Committee subpoenas in the wake of Bannon's no show, as the DOJ still mulls what's next.  Or whether Dems could have/should have pushed through Build Back Better or if it's better to work in good faith and settle up once the CBO has a chance to score the cost.  Are we our own worst enemy? Is Karen Tumulty's opinion right that perhaps Dems slowing their roll and allowing the CBO to score the cost of BBB can show moderate voters that the Dems are being thoughtful here and want responsible government? Should progressives be thanking them? Last Tuesdays elections in part seem to suggest that people want action, but responsible action. And Another Thing: The Travis Scott festival's tragedy was avoidable and an unforced error.
