Liz Cheney is my hero. I spent my life watching losing presidential candidates tell the truth. From Stevenson to Clinton they believed in American democracy more than themselves. Trump failed that test. Liz Cheney upholds the country’s honor.

On the night of April 4, 1968, Senator Robert Kennedy entered a Black neighborhood of Indianapolis.
'Do they know about Martin Luther King?' he asked his host. They hadn't.
In the next few moments he, a White man, spoke with honesty and moral humility. It's what we need in 2022.

I have long thought the Washington Football team should be named “The Washington Americans. It would parallel the “Nationals in MLB. It would stick to Dallas that pretends to be “America’s Team.”
Let’s hear it for The Washington Americans!!!

“Just do your job.” That’s what the great Sydney Poitier told me just after Barack Obama’s inauguration when I said it would be hard reporting coldly and objectively on him given that i wanted his presidency so much to succeed in history. “Just do your job,” he kindly said.

Just 6 % of Republicans of voting age believe Joe Biden elected legitimately. If that number isn’t scary enough, analysis shows GOP voters believe what they tell pollsters. It’s time to realize it’s not just Donald Trump, it’s those Republicans unable to see objective reality.

I want Hardball fans to know how I appreciate your faith in me. 2022 could be a great time to show what we’ve learned. I tried to warn we were headed too far left.

Just spent this AM with students from American University of Afghanistan talking with students at Fulbright University Vietnam. I felt strong empathy from students in Ho Chi Minh City with their counterparts enduring dangerous arrival of Taliban. This generation is impressive.

Before “Hardball,” before being Tip O’Neill’s guy, I was a presidential speechwriter for Jimmy Carter. Here are some up to date reflections.

Kamala Harris will visit Vietnam next week. Chris Mathews (Chris Matthews) says she may be surprised by the level of detail in the questions she fields about U.S. politics. As was true 50 yrs ago, what happens here matters a lot there.

It’s remarkable how determined young people in Vietnam are to keep up with our U.S. politics and culture, remarks Chris Matthews. Which means the Vice President Kamala Harris should expect the same level of scrutiny—at least—by the government officials she meets in Vietnam. washingtonmonthly.com/2021/08/16/wha…

.Chris Matthews has a new book, 'This Country: My Life in Politics and History.' Steve Goldstein talked with him about it on The Show.
