Astead W. Herndon’s Post

Again #theRunUp by The New York Times' Astead W. Herndon is a fantastic podcast. In this episode I find it specifically admirable how Mr Herndon pushes back on the premisse for the #NoLabels political movement, when he interviews some of their main figures and challenges the idea that progressive social movements in the USA (#BLM, #SunriseMovement) have driven the Democratic party to the extreme left and have abandoned the idea of #freespeech. The way mr Herndon speaks with T***"-voters, Republicans, independents and Democrats is something many journalists everywhere can learn from. #podcast tip:

The Washington Conference is a unique tradition that dates back to our WWII-era founding, reflecting our long history of working with every White House administration from both sides of the aisle.   At this year’s conference, our board members and leadership heard from Yamiche Alcindor, Geoff Bennett, Jonathan Capehart, Jacqui Heinrich, Astead W. Herndon, Margaret Hoover, Steve Kornacki, Mara Liasson, Abby Phillip, Trevor Potter, Martine Powers, Maria Elena Salinas, Greg Stohr, Kimberly Atkins Stohr, and Pete Williams.   We also met with top West Wing staff from the Biden-Harris Administration—including a special session with Kamala Harris   Check out the highlights!
