Hello, we’re closing tonight’s blog. Thanks for reading – you can read more on Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” here:
Bill Moyers, the former White House press secretary who became one of television’s most honored journalists, masterfully using a visual medium to illuminate a world of ideas, died on Thursday at age 91.
Moyers died in a New York City hospital, according to longtime friend Tom Johnson, the former chief executive of CNN and an assistant to Moyers during Lyndon B Johnson’s administration.
Bernie Sanders, the Vermont senator, paid tribute to Moyers on X. Sanders wrote:
Bill Moyers, a friend, public servant and outstanding journalist has passed away. As an aide to President Johnson, Bill pushed the president in a more progressive direction. As a journalist he had the courage to explore issues that many ignored. Bill will be sorely missed.
