Great scoop from ⁦@TMannWSJ⁩ and Brody Mullins: Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao still owns Vulcan Materials shares she had vowed to divest. wsj.com/articles/trans…
Worth nothing that this resembles ethics issues of two other Cabinet members. Commerce Sec Ross held Invesco stock he should have sold and made 7 figures off its increased value: publicintegrity.org/federal-politi… and publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
And ethics officials agreed to revise Treasury Secretary Mnuchin’s ethics agreement after he sold a company to his wife that he had previously agreed to completely divest. publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
It is pretty unusual to have three Cabinet secretaries who either haven’t complied with their original ethics agreements or have belatedly gotten revisions.

Am told 3 people trying to vote at the courthouse in Fort Yates on Standing Rock were told no because their ID had an address saying “Avenue” instead of “Street.” @StandingRockST officials issued new IDs. #NDNativeVote Background on tribal efforts here: publicintegrity.org/2018/10/30/223…
And for those watching the weather, I hear there’s snow on the Turtle Mountain reservation this morning.

1/The decision in the North Dakota voter identification case actually has a long legal backstory that's worth unpacking, because I am seeing a lot of questions on Twitter in the wake of today's decision (which we covered here) publicintegrity.org/2018/11/01/224…
2/I wrote a story earlier this month that includes a lot of background, and links to earlier court documents for those interested. You can find it here. apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…
3/North Dakota, the only state that doesn't require voter registration, was long an easy state in which to vote. If a voter didn't have ID with all the required info, a poll worker who knew them could vouch for them or the voter could sign an affidavit. apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…

Since this story on barriers to the ballot box for Native Americans, reported from the Standing Rock reservation, was published last week, a lot has happened. Some updates below: apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…
Four ND tribes, including @StandingRockST, say they will issue tribal documents that satisfy new ND voter ID requirements at the polls on Election Day.
And the new voter ID requirements came up in tonight’s ND Senate debate.

In 2012, Tim Cook announced Apple would make a Mac computer in the US.

But when Apple began making the $3000 computer in Texas, it struggled to find enough screws. By the time the computer was ready for mass production, Apple had ordered screws from China nyti.ms/2HBT2QK
Apple CEO Tim Cook: “The skill here is just incredible. In the US, you could have a meeting of tooling engineers and I’m not sure we could fill the room. In China, you could fill multiple football fields.” (h/t @scottlincicome)
"Caterpillar said costs tied to new US tariffs on foreign goods, including steel and aluminum, were just above $100 million over the 5 months of 2018 that they were in effect.

The company expects more than $200 million in tariff-related costs this year." wsj.com/articles/cater…

1) For a while now, I’ve been searching for evidence that Mitch McConnell was influenced by a foreign power. His refusal to protect Mueller, his blocking of a bipartisan statement on Russian interference ahead of the 2016 election, it strikes a lot of people as suspicious.
2) I have no blockbusters, nothing damning (trust me, I wish that I did), but I do have what I believe is a good roadmap of areas that should be investigated further.
3) Let me start with a question: In 2007, Mitch McConnell’s estimated net worth was $7.8 mllion. In 2008, it jumped to $17 million. What happened?
