The New York Times’ focus group on the election is mind-blowing. It gives you a good sense of why Trump might actually win the election despite the fact that many of his voters hate his guts. In @nytopinion For its latest focus group, Times Opinion spoke with 13 independent voters about the issues that might […]

The Republicans in the House finally did something right. Alejandro Mayorkas was finally impeached. Way back when the House Republicans dumped Kevin McCarthy and finally replaced him with Mike Johnson, I predicted nothing would change. Republicans have too small a majority to get much of anything done. Instead of fighting about who would lead the […]
Sounds like something out of a spy novel, no? And perhaps it could be fiction, but as the reporting team at Public argues, it certainly explains the start of Operation Crossfire Hurricane better than a stupid bar conversation with George Papadapolous.

Christopher Rufo has unearthed an explosive video in which Bob Iger announced to employees that the company would start taking political stands in response, presumably, to the danger he saw from the MAGA movement. The all-hands meeting took place in the days after January 6th, and Iger expressed his sorrow that Disney hadn’t been political […]
