Some news this morning! I am writing about with my good friend @nycsouthpaw about the rise of the New American Left and its future. We are both incredibly excited to get started and hope it's something you'll all want to read.

politico.com/newsletters/pl…
This is a time of seismic shifts in our politics. While the turmoil on the right has been exhaustively chronicled there are also transformational forces shaping the left and their story has yet to be fully told. We can't wait to share it with you.
I am incredibly grateful to our rockstar agent @ameliaatlas, our publisher @wwnorton, and the many people who have shared their stories with us. I also could not have done this without the support of my family and my partner in crime @nycsouthpaw.
I am going to be leaving Yahoo to focus on this project and some other exciting things I will announce soon! I can't thank the company and editors enough for taking a guy from Brooklyn and letting him yell questions at the president.

There are a lot of far right commentators sharing this horrific story and highlighting the fact the perpetrators are Black.
But there are also more mainstream conservatives sharing this story including from outlets like the Daily Caller and GOP operatives. In some cases, they're cooying videos taken directly from the far right explicitly racist voices including popular Gab and Telegram accounts.
Anyone who truly though Anwar's life mattered, would not use his death to make straw man arguments in some unrelated political argument.

This is literally a video of Peter Doocy complaining that he doesn't get to ask questions the White House while asking a question at the White House
You should make an NFT if this tweet @atrupar it's really an incredible historical artifact.
In today's briefing, @pdoocy said there is a "list" that gets to ask Biden questions and Fox is the "only" TV network that is not selected.

At this event on 1/25, Biden personally called on Doocy and said, "He always has an edge but I like him anyway." c-span.org/video/?c495450…

This article is missing *tons* of vital context and all involved here should know better.

In fact, it's missing so much I can't fit it into one tweet and will post the details below.
Firstly, it's not good to muddle solo news conferences and joint pressers with foreign leaders. They're very different — including in the amount of questions and how they're asked. I have basically written a whole article on this point. yahoo.com/news/president…
And as you can see in my article, after his initial solo press conference, Trump proceeded to avoid press conferences for a record stretch. That's not even mentioned in this WaPo piece, which is a pretty glaring omission.

Democrats I spoke to are concerned McConnell wants to limit a 1/6 commission to a review of security failures because he's "concerned with shielding his members" from scrutiny about their conduct that day. yahoo.com/news/matt-gaet…
There have been some links between GOP House members and 1/6 organizers. "Stop The Steal" rally leader Ali Alexander claimed Mo Brooks, Andy Biggs, and Paul Gosar helped him plan events that day. I got this statement from Brooks' office when I asked about that. Image
Ali Alexander's January 6 "Wild Protest" site listed multiple GOP House members as invited speakers including Gosar. Then this week, Gosar's chief of staff @VanFlein was hanging with Ali - who's reportedly in hiding - on Clubhouse. They didn't respond to my questions about this

At the Capitol I saw people clearly taking their cues from Trump's Twitter account. I feel strongly that it's important to point that out.
Here's one of my clips. This guy tried to get people to go to CNN and MSNBC's offices. "Listen up ... FYI Kayleigh McEnany just tweeted at the discretion of Trump. The National Guard will be coming to clear us ... We need to go take down MSNBC, CNN ... they started the fire"
Here's another one of my clips. At the end you can see a guy grab a bullhorn and announcing "Donald Trump has just tweeted please stay peaceful." At least some in the crowd were clearly taking cues from the president and, as we know, his first message was "fight like hell."

I see a lot of people bashing Zeke's question but the president's decision to travel absolutely leads to more exposure for people traveling with him and in Delaware.
Some more details on this.
I literally asked Trump if his behavior was superspreading. I wrote multiple stories on his lax protocols and outbreaks at the White House.
