I know it has been a tough news week, but that’s what makes the good news practice so important! Today, I have 3 innovations from science that make me personally excited plus an idea for the Supreme Court that I’d like us to workshop here together.

Barbara, the Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship. When I saw that the justices published 194 pages in what felt to me like one of the easiest questions to ever reach the Supreme Court, I was not enthusiastic, to put it mildly.

After doing the reading and studying these opinions, I still think…

Congress debated independence for nine hours yesterday, behind closed doors and sealed windows.

In wool. In July. In Philadelphia. It was meant to be a secret, and it is the worst-kept secret in the colonies.

John Dickinson spoke first, and warned that we cannot brave the storm in a skiff made of paper.

He is respected…

And thus, a genre of More to Say episodes was born.

Today, we’re taking that genre back to the 1700s, where Abigail Adams has gathered 55 bickering founders for some good food and good times in an attempt to drag …

Over one hundred British ships are now anchored off Sandy Hook, with small boats shuttling between them.

Y’all, this is plainly an army preparing to land, and the expected spot is Staten Island — where the locals are not exactly enthusiastic patriots and may well greet the king’s troops with ope…

Two women who’ve been online since the Blogger days trade notes on disappointment, perspective, Rick Atkinson, and Frederick Douglass, and land on Sarah’s stubborn theory of hope: we are, at our core, ungovernable assholes, and the Declaration was never a gift — it was an invitation to seize it.

For the first time, they said “no, thanks.” I respected their decision completely, and it pushed me to find an answer to my own question.

To do that, I went back to future problem solving—a process I’ve loved for most of my life—and to Santa Fe, where I retreated with about 4…

Had to wait on election results this morning, so we’re running a little later than usual. Worth it. Let’s get into it.

The Senate did the thing and rebuked President Trump on Iran.

They voted 50 to 48 to adopt the House-passed concurrent resolution reining in the President’s authority with continuing hostilities in Iran — basically, bring the…

The U.S. and Iran have agreed on a roadmap, and I’ll grudgingly admit it’s better than nothing.

So here’s the official report: they’ve agreed on a road…
