To mark the United States’ return to the Paris Agreement, thousands of non-federal climate leaders launched America is All In, a coalition to drive a society-wide mobilization for bold climate ambition to uphold the country’s commitment to domestic and international climate action. Already the most expansive coalition of U.S. leaders ever assembled in support of climate action, America Is All In is led by Michael R. Bloomberg, the United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Climate Ambition and Solutions, Washington Governor Jay Inslee, Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles, and CommonSpirit Health CEO Lloyd H. Dean.

There are few people we can truly call statesmen, and George Shultz was one of them. He was a giant on the world stage.

America’s schoolchildren and teachers have just gotten some very good news from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. After reviewing data from multiple studies in the U.S. and abroad, the agency has concluded that in-person schooling poses very little risk of coronavirus transmission as long as basic safety precautions are followed. That should send a clear message to governors, mayors and teachers’ union leaders: It’s time to open the schools.

This week, at the dawn of a vitally important new era in American leadership, U.S. troops are stationed in the Capitol for the first time since Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was fatally shot more than 50 years ago. So today, our reflections on Dr. King’s leadership carry an even greater urgency.

President Donald Trump deserved to be impeached, again — this time for his sustained and unprecedented attempt to invalidate the results of the election and incite the worst assault on the peaceful transition of power our country has ever seen.

One of Biden’s latest picks, Gina Raimondo for commerce secretary, is especially encouraging. The role does not have the highest profile in the cabinet, but it is one of the most important economic jobs in Washington.
