The Trump Anxiety Tax (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, President Trump casually mused about whether he should annihilate Iran.A few days later, he jetted off to a college football game.And in some ways, this is Trump’s normal: casually threaten something that could have enormous consequences for millions of people here and abroad, then move on. Maybe he means it, maybe he doesn’t. Maybe it’s a negotiating tactic, or maybe tomorrow he’ll say something completely different.Sadly, many of us have gotten pretty good at pricing in his crazines
How to Reimagine the Campaign Debate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Organized political debates between candidates for office are becoming an endangered species.And I’m beyond annoyed about it.In Florida, we are now apparently going to have a governor’s race without a debate for the first time in more than 50 years.Democrat David Jolly announced Sunday he would not debate Republican Byron Donalds.

At just 13 airports to start, people who aren’t flying can apply 1-3 days ahead of time for permission to go through security without a boarding pass.For Americans old enough to remember flying before September 11, this was once completely unremarkable. You walked somebody to
These Three Governor’s Races Are Going to Decide Senate Control (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As we approach the 60-day sprint to the November midterms, more of the landscape is coming into focus. And what’s become clearer to me is how important three specific governors’ races are going to be to what I now believe are the three most important Senate races in the country.Stick with me here.Assuming the political environment stays like this, or gets slightly worse for the GOP, then I think it’s safe to say Senate control in 2026 will come down to Michigan, Texas, and Iowa.For this column,
