For the NYT Magazine’s The Lives They Lived issue, I wrote about Michael Protzman, the QAnon personality who led dozens of followers to Dallas to await the return of JFK: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

“Fare thee well, gone away, there’s nothing left to say.”
Thanks to recent redistricting, Rashida Tlaib now represents the Detroit area’s most pro-Palestinian constituency, but also some of its most pro-Israel communities. My dispatch from the very polarized suburbs of the 12th District: www.nytimes.com/2023/11/13/u...

I spent last week driving back and forth across Colorado’s beautiful and absurdly large 3rd District, where an increasingly crowded contest for Lauren Boebert’s seat is under way a year out from the 2024 election: www.nytimes.com/2023/11/04/u...

Nikki Haley arrived at the UN in 2017 with little record on Israel, and emerged two years later as such a vociferous defender that a joke around Turtle Bay held that Israel had two ambassadors. My dive into that history, and its newfound importance: www.nytimes.com/2023/10/15/u...
Nikki Haley, Israel and the Politics of Diplomacy

Going through my follows reverse-chronologically (to move to Bluesky), and it's like looking at tree rings: Hey, it's the Game Theory guys! (2017) MAGA meme accounts! (2016) The media startup founders! (2012-3) The national security bloggers! (2010-1) Iranian protesters! (2009)
