Again, can you imagine if a writer of color, a Black reporter specifically, did what Olivia Nuzzi did, what would happen to her career?

Would she be rehabilitated in less than a year? Hired by Vanity Fair? Given a book deal? A NYT puff piece?

It's a big club and we ain't in it.

He can't escape Epstein, the economy, and his overreach on immigration.

Putting aside the (big) questions about Greene's motivations and sincerity, I feel compelled to say that, in breaking with Trump, she's doing it in exactly the way I would tell her to do it if I were her political consultant.

Heavily Hispanic areas that shifted the most to the left in 2025 were virtually a mirror image of the places that had swung to Trump in 2024. The two cities that shifted the most toward Democrats were those with the highest percentage of Hispanic voters in the state.

We have a new swing voter population, it appears. It will be interesting to see how Dems adjust their campaign rhetoric accordingly.

(@mikemadrid.bsky.social is one expert on this issue.)
