With the delta variant driving up Covid infection rates, it's time for NYC to start requiring vaccination for some activities & jobs. Amid high polarization & low social trust, it's not easy to have a thoughtful conversation about. But we need to. nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…

Our approach should be, as much as possible, to place the burden of mitigation on the voluntarily unvaccinated. That is both the most equitable approach and the best way to get more people vaccinated.

Democrats have a narrow window to get a lot done. They face a unified GOP opposition. They have the slimmest of majorities. They can’t afford the luxury of recriminations. In 2022, they need to act for working people, the climate & voting rights. My column washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

Agree with Julian Zelizer here, which is why I believe Biden & Dems must negotiate to pass as much of Build Back Better as they can—and to reform the filibuster to pass the two democracy bills. My column below argues their choice is: govern or lose. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

The excerpt of Dwight Chapin's memoir of Nixon--excerpted i n POLITICO--records the last days of the '68 campaign while somehow neglecting to mention how the campaign persuaded S Vietnam to undermine a pending peace deal...something reasonably close to treason.
