99 years ago today, my Shero, Althea Gibson, was born. Last year, we celebrated the 75th anniversary of Althea breaking the color barrier in tennis at the U.S. Open. This year, let's continue to remember her courage and strength, and how she blazed a trail for so many to follow. 📷: Alamy

Senator Nancy Kassebaum represented Kansas with intelligence and integrity at a very different time in American politics. She also had a great marriage with the great Senator and White House Chief of Staff Howard Baker. RIP

She was a great lady, brilliant and generous and adored by her husband. She did great work without seeking praise or credit. Condolences to her family and friends.
Nancy Kissinger was a powerhouse of ideas and insights that she put to work throughout her life in government and philanthropy - and as Henry’s most valued and trusted advisor. She was the ultimate diplomat - as wise as she was discreet - and I know how completely Henry admired and loved her. Diana and I were fortunate to call her a dear friend, and to see their extraordinary partnership in action over the decades. We will miss her greatly.

Many foreign service officers I know have been concerned the White House is going to purge the diplomatic corps. These are front line patriotic Americans doing the diplomacy Trump claims to value. The WH should think twice before getting rid of them.
JUST IN: Trump administration declares structure of Foreign Service in place since 1980 is unconstitutional intrusion on presidential power. DOJ's busy Office of Legal Counsel says Secretary of State has to have final say on discipline. Doc: justice.gov/olc/media/145883…

Trump's crypto firm took $100 million from a failed hardwood flooring retailer who has been investigated for money laundering, a windfall for the president from a foreigner with no public signs of access to that level of wealth, @russbuettner reports. nytimes.com/2026/08/09/us/po…

.@RepDebbieDingell I am so terribly sorry about this terrible loss! My heartfelt condolences at this tragic passing.
Today I am returning home to be with my family during an incredibly painful and deeply personal time. Our family’s 12-day-old daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter has returned home to God this afternoon. We have been in God’s hands throughout all of this.
