President Trump and the GOP are crowing about the end of the government shutdown. But what will voters remember next November? Here's my take for @USATODAY on how Democrats just may win the long game >>> www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Master stroke or dumb luck, Dems may win shutdown's long game
What will voters remember next November? President Trump claims victory on the shutdown, but the health care crisis is now guaranteed to persist.

Nancy Pelosi has been the most powerful woman in the history of the United States, at the center of the national debate for a quarter-century. As she retires, here's my take on her legacy >>> www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

I first covered Dick Cheney when he was a congressman from Wyoming. He had quite a ride after that, including the surprising turn near the end. Remember when he endorsed Kamala Harris last year? Here’s my take for @USATODAY >>>

Dick Cheney, the most controversial, powerful vice president in US history, dies at 84
Richard Bruce Cheney was a laconic one-time college dropout who found his place in Washington. He died at age 84.

There's a reason we're obsessed with the VA and NJ gubernatorial elections: They're the only ones we've got. Will they really signal the midterms and even 2028? Maybe. Here's my take >>> www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Clues for the midterms and 2028? Watch VA, NJ, CA now. (Maybe.)
There's a reason the political world is obsessed with the Nov. 4 gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey: They're the only ones we've got.

Why journalism matters: LBJ waited to be sworn in after JFK's death until both Jackie Kennedy and the press pool could board Air Force One--to send a message of stability and continuity. Sid Davis was the last surviving reporter there. RIP. From @usatoday.com >>> www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
