Hello, I am John B. Judis. I am an author and American journalist, currently serving as the editor-at-large at Talking Points Memo. My career has included positions as a former senior writer at the National Journal and a former senior editor at The New Republic. Born in Chicago to a family of Jewish heritage, I pursued my education at Amherst College and the University of California at Berkeley, where I obtained my B.A. and M.A. degrees in Philosophy. Throughout my life, I have held steadfast to the principles of democratic socialism, influencing my views on socioeconomic structures and the role of government in society.
