What I wrote on Saturday: "For my part, I don’t simply assume Trump will try to run in 2028; I expect Trump to try to run in 2028."

What Trump said today: "I would love to do it. I have the best numbers ever. Am I not ruling it out? You'll have to tell me."

The National Archives under the Trump administration released @mikiesherrill.bsky.social full, unredacted Navy personnel file to Jack Ciattarelli's campaign.

This is an unprecedented and illegal weaponization of the National Archives and private, personal records to attack a political opponent.
