Happy Thanksgiving! A Note Of Gratitude

Grateful for this community, your support, and what we’re building together.

I have a lot to be grateful for. My wife, my dog (aka my son), my family, friends, colleagues, and all the amazing blessings that have come my way this year.

This Thanksgiving, I’m particularly grateful for you, the reader, who opens these emails multiple times a week, shares these posts, and stays engaged in the ongoing effort to make America live up to its promised ideals.

Your support for my independent journalism has empowered me to walk into rooms and sit at tables where it’d be unlikely for someone like me to have a seat. I get to speak truth to power in an increasingly meaningful way, and I can’t thank you enough. Whether it’s a friendly roundtable at MSNBC or a contentious debate on a CNN panel, it’s because of all of you that I’ve been able to continue to take this work to new heights, and I’m genuinely appreciative of every single one of you.

I hope you all take some time to disconnect and relax with your loved ones this holiday weekend. I know I will. Whatever challenge you’re facing in your personal life, I hope you find some pockets of peace and joy today. I wish you all nothing but the best.

With love and appreciation,
