Heading back to Ho Chi Minh City to teach at Fulbright University Vietnam. Students are sharp and interested in US politics and media - just like Americans who voted big on November 8.
It was a real pleasure to chat with @AndyOstroy! Great podcast! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chr… twitter.com/AndyOstroy/sta…
Every Wednesday the prime minister briefs the head of state on government policy. It shows us how a constitutional monarchy works.
Here in the US we have our own way of showing deference. It’s to the voters themselves, It’s called a concession speech.
Just entered Pennsylvania like Dr. Oz. He lives in New Jersey. As we in Philly like to say from “down the shore.” So why didn’t he run for Senate against Cory Booker? He wouldn’t have to cross the Delaware.
When word came that Queen Elizabeth has died I first thought of the young student in Swaziland in 1969 as he turned on his short wave to catch the sound of Big Ben and the BBC news. The Commonwealth survives thanks in no small part to Elizabeth herself.
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!!!
People who criticize great columnist wish they had the ability and the serious beliefs to write one
“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.

Retweeted by Chris Matthews Kamala Harris will visit Vietnam next week. Chris Mathews (@HardballChris) 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.

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

Retweeted by Chris Matthews “That sentimental worldview — of America as the beacon of freedom, the foundationally flawed but ever-aspirational democratic project — has guided Matthews’ ambitions like a GPS.” policymagazine.ca/the-american-a… @policy_mag

Retweeted by Chris Matthews Donald Trump wants chaos. He doesn’t want to be a good person, even when it’s so clear that we’re going back into the troubled area that we were in last year. We’re going back without some real leadership on the right.
I still believe one person responsible for the shocking percentage of unvaccinated people in this country is Donald Trump. If he were to come out and encourage people to get vaccinated, COVID cases may be much lower than they currently are.
