should be instructive for democrats that Magyar is living up to his promise to prosecute Orban officials for corruption and is continuing to poll extremely highly

Trump is running his illegal ad in the DC media market, which is a baffling choice for a wide variety of reasons. Just fully an in-kind to Eugene Vindman

Do we think the Des Moines Register would run a review of Zach Lahn’s company’s sex toys?

Aside from toeing the party line, these senators really hate Jack Smith because they're viscerally opposed to the idea of prosecuting politicians. They are committed to their own elite impunity above and beyond whatever they think of Trump. Thus their obsession with the phone records non-issue.

Maybe a hot take, but I think if you view yourself as *the* definitive political newsletter, you should bother to mention whether claims are true or not FACTS: manufacturing jobs went up during Joe Biden's term, and have gone down during Trump's second term.

Right now, every CEO thinks "if I upset Donald Trump he'll break the law to make my life miserable, and if I upset Dems they will do nothing about it" This creates truly awful incentives, and explains why so many companies, hospitals, and colleges caved early in his term.
