Very excited to have my first piece published at ⁦@newcriterion⁩. It looks like Dems are very nervous about the Midwest - and they should be. Dem PACs are planning to spend lots of $ early in WI and MI and are already ceding Ohio and Iowa to Trump... newcriterion.com/blogs/dispatch…
There’s debate in Dem Party about giving up PA, WI, MI to Trump and focusing on CO, GA, NC. The economy is red-hot in the Midwest especially for non college workers. Trump’s approval rating is roughly the same as Obama’s at same point in his presidency..

newcriterion.com/blogs/dispatch…
It’s hard to see how Dems radical-left agenda and lunatic-fringe leaders will play in Peoria, let alone Grand Rapids or Racine. Plenty of D Congressional seats in the Midwest for Rs to take back, too.
Should be a hell of a fight in the Heartland in 2020:

So journos are cheering Facebook for banning Jones, Watson, Loomer bc they are “conspiracy theorists.”

Really?

These same journos and their news orgs have pushed 3 destructive hoaxes in the past year alone: Trump-Russia election collusion conspiracy... amgreatness.com/2019/05/06/if-…
The Kavanaugh rape allegations and the Covington Catholic “smirking” hoax.

And these aren’t fringe Internet personalities: The hoaxes were pushed by the most influential journos and the most powerful news outlets in the world.

So, why won’t Facebook deplatform NYT or WashPo?
What’s the difference between Alex Jones and Rachel Maddow? How is InfoWars any more dangerous than CNN or MSNBC?

Maggie Haberman and Ana Navarro think it’s ok to give Jones the boot bc he pushed phony stories about major events? Seriously?

Mueller’s failure to follow Barr’s February directive to flag grand jury material in the report caused a 3-4 week delay in the full report’s release. So why did Barr compose a summary of the report’s conclusions two days after the report was filed? amgreatness.com/2019/05/01/its…
“The body politic was in a high state of agitation. There was massive interest in learning what the bottom results. Former officials were confidently predicting that the president and members of his family were going to be indicted. So I didn’t feel that it was...
...in the public interest to allow this to go on for several weeks.”

Mueller also refused to review Barr’s letter when offered the opportunity to do so.

According to Special Counsel regulations, Mueller’s job ended when he submitted the report. Barr was correct when he said the report then became his “baby.” What Mueller wrote in a snitty letter after that did not - and should not - matter... amgreatness.com/2019/05/01/its…
In February, Barr directed Mueller’s team to prepare the final report with suggested redactions so it could be released quickly. The report was submitted raw, no redactions. So Barr prepared his own letter with accurate summaries of the key conclusions...

amgreatness.com/2019/05/01/its…
The next day, Team Mueller found its thick black pen. Mueller submitted summaries of his own “marked with redactions.” But it was too late. Mueller wrote another “snitty” letter complaining about the public’s “misunderstanding” of his report. Too bad. amgreatness.com/2019/05/01/its…

1/ Today The #Pulitzer Prize Board announced that three of @hannahdreier’s articles from her series on MS-13 have won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for feature writing.

Here’s a look at the stories that are being honored and how they came to be:
2/ After Trump seized on MS-13’s violence to promote tougher immigration policies, @hannahdreier realized that anti-immigrant rhetoric and police bias were undermining efforts to combat a brutal gang that preyed on Latino teenagers.

3/Her first piece (published w/ @NYMag) told the story of Henry, a high school #MS13 member who worked with law enforcement for about a year thinking they’d help him escape and start a new life.

Instead, they turned him over to immigration authorities.

So, this is a question I’ve started getting somewhat frequently: What does an average day on the #PostReports podcast look like? And I figured it might be worth sharing a real-time play-by-play of how we put out an episode.

I’ll be threading here today. First up ... AM meeting!
We meet at 9 each AM in @madhulikasikka’s office to talk about plans for the day, decide which longer-term stories are ready to run, and what to record day-of. We keep track of our episode plans in Trello, but Madhulika also updates this beautiful post-it board! #postreports
As the morning gets going, I work with a producer to prep for each segment we’re recording that day. It’s a pretty thorough roadmap of the conversation, but of course we deviate! Here’s one @ReenaJF put together for our segment on Harris 2020, which aired last night: #postreports

Outtakes from the #DNC Executive Meeting in #PuertoRico (thread)

Chair promises a 2020 process that is fair. Will release a protocol on debates soon; expect debates in summer 2019 . Will decide by March 2019 the Host City for 2020 Convention: Houston, Miami Beach, or Milwaukee.
We have worked hard to rebuild trust on our presidential process. Rules and Bylaws Cttee working with early states on rules. A key rule change ends superdelegates voting 1st round absent consensus candidate BUT elected officials can still be PLEOs & not run against constituents.
The PLEO Party Leader Elected Official designation is for pledged delegates who are Members of Congress Governors etc who want a first round #DNC convention vote but don’t want to run against activist to get there.

Excited to share my first piece in 18 months and in @ForeignPolicy, co-authored w/ Simon Miles, an assistant professor @DukeSanford, completing a book on US-Soviet relations during the early 1980s based on new Eastern bloc archival sources. 1/ foreignpolicy.com/2018/10/30/wha…
Context: @mike_giglio had an excellent piece last month on how the #Trump admin may be executing a strategy of "maximum pressure" against #Iran, partly inspired by the book "Victory" & its claim that Reagan used this strategy to defeat the Soviet Union. 2/ buzzfeednews.com/article/mikegi…
There's only one problem: "Victory" is not good history, to put it politely. The most basic critique is that the author didn't have access to US & Soviet archives when the book was published in 1994. You can find much harsher academic critiques online. 3/ amazon.com/dp/0871136333/…
