Every race. It’s basically been every race.
Governors. Mayors. Long-held GOP dog-catchers. School boards. Water boards. Flipped a dungeon master in a rural Iowa D&D club. State senators. State reps. A janitor in Duluth. State justices. Three GOP Uber drivers.
Just everything.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption.
I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents.

Alex Ovechkin is the leading goal scorer in National Hockey League history. 895. It came from his office. It had to. It's utterly surreal to be a part of this moment, and it can't be narrated any better than Joe Beninati did. Just watch. As many times as it takes. It's real. #ALLCAPS

With High Tariffs, Has Trump Ended Or Revived Neoliberalism?
Donald Trump's problematic tariff plan will engender a 'capital strike' from big business and the rest of the world. Wall Street is planning revenge. Small business is panicking. What comes next?

Everyone needs to read Senator Chris Murphy’s post. This is exactly it.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
