No hard feelings with Queen Elizabeth, 250 years after the Declaration of Independence labeled her great great great great great grandfather a ‘tyrant.’ A conversation about ‘The Queen and Her Presidents’ with @lovejournalism.bsky.social >>>
250 years after the divorce, I asked @susanpagedc.bsky.social what the Queen saw in us. Her book "The Queen and Her Presidents" lands just in time for America's 250th. www.lovejournalism.com/p/queen-eliz...

Today's the day THE QUEEN AND HER PRESIDENTS hits shelves. And it just so happens the luminous @susanpagedc.bsky.social is this week's guest on @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social, where she got candid about the long road in journalism, her craft, and a lot more you won't find in the book jacket.
Trump v. Trump: Which president shows up at the State of the Union? Here's my look at Tuesday's big speech for @usatoday.com, and why it matters >>> www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Trump v. Trump. Which president shows up at the State of the Union?
Will it be the-economy-is-fixed Trump or I-feel-your-pain Trump when he addresses Congress? America-First Trump or Nobel-Prize-peacemaker Trump?

Done! Finished recording the audiobook version of “The Queen and Her Presidents: The Hidden Hand That Shaped History,” being published in April by @harpercollins.bsky.social (and available now for pre-order). Also, now officially sick of the sound of my own voice.
In 1919, six pushy broads who weren't allowed to join the National Press Club formed a group of their own, which ever since has supported women in journalism. Thrilled to be receiving the @washingtonpress.bsky.social Lifetime Achievement Award at its 80th annual dinner on Feb. 4. Thank you, WPCF.
"Watch what they do, not what they say." - @susanpagedc.bsky.social on her subjects #BioLab2026 👀
A pleasure to talk with fellow biographers this afternoon at the #BioLab2026, sponsored by @biographersintl.bsky.social. What's the goal of writing a biography? And how do you get there?

Has it only been a year? 12 months of all Trump, all the time
No president has been so ubiquitous in American life. From military incursions to primetime sports, Trump has been impossible to miss.

Congrats to Lisa Hagen, elected Friday as the 546th member of the Gridiron Club. Lisa represents CT Public and the @ctmirror.org -- founded in 2010 and now the youngest organization in the oldest association of journalists in Washington.
Here’s my take for @usatoday.com on what we learned today courtesy of Nicolas Maduro about the emerging Trump Doctrine. America First? Not so much >>>
President Trump hasn't withdrawn from the world. He increasingly asserts U.S. interests by rhetoric and force.
"Not so fast on the epitaph." Classic @pelosi.house.gov, in this lovely interview writeup from @susanpagedc.bsky.social
After nearly four decades in Congress, former speaker Nancy Pelosi has some thoughts about politics, power — and impeachment. We talked for an hour in an exclusive exit interview for @usatoday.com. Story to follow >>>

Dick Cheney was memorialized this week, but his impact on U.S. politics still shapes debates today. I break down his influence and his break with Donald Trump on @USATODAY's The Excerpt. youtu.be/0mebekeQXHU?... YouTube

President Trump and the GOP are crowing about the end of the government shutdown. But what will voters remember next November? Here's my take for @USATODAY on how Democrats just may win the long game >>> www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Master stroke or dumb luck, Dems may win shutdown's long game
What will voters remember next November? President Trump claims victory on the shutdown, but the health care crisis is now guaranteed to persist.

Nancy Pelosi has been the most powerful woman in the history of the United States, at the center of the national debate for a quarter-century. As she retires, here's my take on her legacy >>> www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Nancy Pelosi's 'old school' career in Congress, from Obamacare to impeachment
Agree with her policies or not, Nancy Pelosi was among the most consequential legislative leaders since legends Lyndon Johnson and Sam Rayburn.

I first covered Dick Cheney when he was a congressman from Wyoming. He had quite a ride after that, including the surprising turn near the end. Remember when he endorsed Kamala Harris last year? Here’s my take for @USATODAY >>> www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Dick Cheney, the most controversial, powerful vice president in US history, dies at 84
Richard Bruce Cheney was a laconic one-time college dropout who found his place in Washington. He died at age 84.

.@USATODAY launches its America-at-250 coverage today. Our history has always been more of a journey than a destination. Here's my perspective after interviewing the past 10 presidents >>> www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
You're about to hear a lot about America's 250th birthday. Read this first.
I interviewed every president since Nixon. Our nation's identity and future have always been on a fierce and extraordinary journey.
