The first-ever AG nominee to feel compelled to say (as he did to me last year), "I'm not some Lord of the Flies nihilist." My latest on Gaetz: nytimes.com/2024/11/13/us/…
Inside the Federal Work Force That Trump Has Promised to Eviscerate. President-elect Trump and his allies have pledged to strike fear in the heart of what they term “the deep state.” They have already succeeded. @DraperRobert @michaelcrowley @ZJMontague nytimes.com/2024/11/08/us/…
The Latino-dominated border communities of Texas, long a bastion for Democrats, appear to have cast a referendum on the party's immigration, economic and cultural policies.
My story on Kamala Harris (gift link): nytimes.com/2024/10/26/us/…
The world's richest man, described by Trump as "the greatest cutter," also has more influence over the government than any unelected individual in America
Musk is simultaneously in fights with the FAA, DOJ, FCC, FTC, Interior, EEOC, NLRB, EPA, etc. Now Musk has nudged Trump to put him in charge of an effort to curb government rules. Why is Musk working so hard to get Trump elected? A look at this conflict nytimes.com/2024/10/20/us/…
"Whenever Texas politicians threaten to pass laws that would make it harder for businesses to employ undocumented workers, phones in the Capitol start ringing."
The real reason Texas can't control its border: it needs the migrants too badly. For 8 months, I've investigated undocumented construction workers, the bosses hiring them, and the politicians who look the other way: texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…
According to the very paper (Oakland Press) that he was holding in his hand to refute my colleague @peterbakernyt's point that Trump never was named Man of the Year, the headline claiming that he was, from a decade earlier, "was incorrect...He was not honored as man of the year."
Trump dug up an old news article to back up his claims about getting a Man of the Year award in Michigan decades ago (this is supposed to be a speech about economic policy)
The immunity brief alleges that according to Mark Meadows, Trump informed him (and two others) that he "would simply declare victory before all the ballots were counted & any winner was projected"
BREAKING: Judge Tanya Chutkan just unsealed the special counsel's redacted immunity brief against Trump in the election interference case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
a closer look at Trump’s “beautiful ladies from North Carolina” from @DraperRobert and me: nytimes.com/2024/09/30/us/…
Wright Thompson's new book THE BARN, about the murder of Emmett Till (and what came before & after it), is a masterwork of storytelling, one of the most engrossing books I've read in years. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Order here: amazon.com/Barn-Secret-Hi…
"But the failure to articulate the point, or any point, in a clear way left many in the room scratching their heads..."
With Biden out of the race, the politics of age have been turned on their head. After last week's rambling child care answer and other incoherent comments, Trump will be the one tested in tomorrow's debate to demonstrate that he is still up to the job. nytimes.com/2024/09/09/us/…
Happy Birthday and RIP Walter White Sept 7, 1958 - Sept 7, 2010
This cinematic piece on Biden by @DraperRobert should be made into a movie about time, memory, and purpose. Worth your time. nytimes.com/2024/08/18/mag…
SCOOP: Trump says he doesn't know who's in charge of Project 2025. He took a private flight with Heritage's president in 2022. Here's a photo. w/ @jdawsey1 @KnowlesHannah washingtonpost.com/elections/2024…
The disbelieving comments from Trump supporters here don't reflect awareness that Rasmussen has long been viewed in polling-world as an outlier for his unusually high #'s for Trump
New Scott Rasmussen poll shows Harris up by 5 points justthenews.com/node/128262?ut…
Criminally investigating a reporter who hasn't committed a crime is a serious issue. Still, I find it hilarious that a sheriff thought he could intimidate @mayalau latimes.com/california/sto…
Update: 4 hours after the platform committee began work this morning, Trump campaign says they've passed a platform "with overwhelming support." No mention of abortion. 20 planks, e.g. ending inflation, sealing border, mass deportations, rebuilding cities, unifying the country.
Meanwhile, back at the RNC, about that platform… ‘The primary goal is a “short form” 2024 document that is a pledge of allegiance to former President Donald J. Trump rather than the statement of party values…’ Great work by the great @DraperRobert nytimes.com/2024/07/08/us/…
