    Rep. María Elvira Salazar Cries Betrayal. It’s a Little Late. (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    The 30-second spot on immigration from Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) is remarkable on a number of levels. She’s running for reelection, but it’s not a campaign ad, per se. She’s not attacking her Democratic opponent. Instead, it’s a direct message to President Trump about his aggressive immigration enforcement recorded with the White House in the distance. Most remarkable is her use of the word “betrayed.” It might say as much about her as it does about her Hispanic constituents.<div class=

    Remember the Sky (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    The thing I remember most about September 11, 2001, was the sky. An unbelievably beautiful sky so blue New York City seemed nestled under a sapphire dome. A sky that was forever violated in a murderous explosion of orange flames, black smoke and white ash.It was primary election day in the Big Apple. I looked up at that stunning sky on my way to vote before 7 a.m. And I was sitting at my desk at the Bloomberg for Mayor campaign headquarters in midtown Manhattan when I happened to look up at the

    Trump’s Arcade of Cruelty (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt
