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.

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?

As a fourth-generation Kansan, I am especially thrilled to receive the William Allen White National Citation for Journalism. He was a lodestar in his time, and in ours. Thank you, @universityofkansas.bsky.social.

No president has been so ubiquitous in American life. From military incursions to primetime sports, Trump has been impossible to miss.

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President Trump hasn't withdrawn from the world.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.
America First? What Trump's startling arrest of Maduro tells us.
