There is something incredibly interesting happening right now in Democratic politics and it’s how men connect masculinity to fatherhood. It cuts through our politics’ harshness and the idea that masculinity is all bulging biceps.
I wrote about that here: washingtonpost.com/politics/…
Excited to be colleagues -- what a great hire!

The three Trump super PACs — MAGA Inc, Safety and Affordability PAC and No Going Back PAC — are up to about $315 million in planned ad spending this election cycle, per AdImpact.

As turnout in Texas nears 3 million votes, Hispanic turnout is now exceeding presidential levels. More Hispanics have voted than did at this point in the 2024 presidential election. What's driving this huge increase? Young voters.

TRUMP on what he'll do if Democrats win the House, Senate or both:
"If there was, as you call it gridlock, what happens is I veto everything and then the Democrats come and they want to make a deal."

Consider this a story in global affairs.
Early this year, there was an effort afoot to find Secretary Hegseth an iconic globe for his office suite.
