It's Been 25 Years Since 9/11. Did the Terrorists Win? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I once had a conversation with Barack Obama about the nature of terrorism. This was during his second term, and he’d been going on for a few minutes about how Islamic terrorism wasn’t actually an existential threat to Americans, but rather a chronic and manageable risk. I was all too familiar with this argument, having conducted the interview with John Kerry in 2004 in which he said terrorism could be reduced to the level of a “nuisance” — a quote that blew up on him during the final weeks of th
Rahm Emanuel: 'You Don't Like My Ideas? Show Me Yours' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
W hen I first met Rahm Emanuel, almost 25 years ago, he had a pretty solid reputation, in some quarters, as an arrogant prick. Rahm — even then, he needed only one name, like Cher or Snoop — was recognized by his fellow Democrats as a brilliant political tactician, which is how he had risen to become one of Bill Clinton’s chief enforcers in the White House. But he was also known to be self-certain, occasionally thuggish, and unusually crass. (For many years, there seemed to be a rule in journali
What the Fauci Fixation Reveals About Our Political System (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I t’s hard to remember this now, but before the pandemic of 2020, Anthony Fauci was probably the most widely respected public health official in America. As an immunologist at the National Institutes of Health in the early 1980s, he was instrumental in mobilizing the government against the AIDS crisis — a role immortalized in Randy Shilts’ epic book And the Band Played On. Activists blamed Fauci for Washington’s sluggish response, but he persisted in reaching out to critics and eventually won th
Does the Socialist Surge Doom Democrats? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
S everal years ago, around the time Bernie Sanders’ second presidential campaign was gathering force, my friend Ken Baer said something that stuck with me. Baer, a centrist Democrat who served in Barack Obama’s budget office, told me I was missing a fundamental shift in the party, which we’d both spent many years thinking and writing about. “It’s not a battle between moderates and liberals anymore,” he said. “It’s between liberals and socialists.” At the time, this seemed to me a bit dramatic. S
Trump Is Turning D.C. Into a Theme Park for the American Century (opens the original)
Read excerpt
W hen he first campaigned for president a decade ago, Donald Trump pointed to his singular achievement in public service: a skating rink. A primetime video at Trump’s nominating convention recounted the legend of Wollman Rink, on the edge of Central Park, as if it were the beaches of Normandy — how Trump had grown tired of seeing the dilapidated rink from his panoramic office window and decided to do something about it, how he had taken over the project from the city and delivered a beautiful su
