Editor of POLITICO Magazine @POLITICOMag @POLITICO. Former editor & White House correspondent @TIME. Making a literal difference metaphorically.
- Trump has now appointed 1 in every 4 circuit court judges in the country
- “I have built my staff around comms rather than legislation,” Madison Cawthorn wrote to Republican colleagues in a Jan. 19 email obtained by @abbyvesoulis
- On Trump campaign press call, Jason Miller still confident on Arizona and demands AP and Fox retract their projections. Miller predicts Trump will win the presidency "as soon as Friday"
- Leahy: "Is grabbing a woman by her genitals without consent sexual assault?" Sessions: "Clearly, it would be"
- Brett Kavanaugh chugs 6-8 Diet Cokes a day and is a meticulous writer. He often requires hundreds of rewrites on opinions from his clerks. I thought former clerks were exaggerating when they told me that, but no: literally HUNDREDS of drafts
- “To my mind, it is absolutely riveting,” Rep. Jamie Raskin tells @EricCortellessa of the plans for the Jan. 6 hearings. “Because it is a story of the greatest political crime ever attempted by an American president against his own government.”
- NEW: Statement from U.S. attorneys who served under Republican presidents pushing back on Trump's assault on the integrity of the election
- .@AshaRangappa_ makes this point here, and I've spoken to others to make the same: the FBI informant was part of a counterintelligence probe, not a criminal one. That means the purpose of the probe was to protect... 1/2

- Pick up your copy of @TIME this week and let me and @aabramson take you on a tour of the Never Trumper groups working to turn out disaffected Republicans for Biden. "They are the constituency that can swing this election," says @SarahLongwell25
