Ask not who won the debate. Ask how you might win the future.
Tuesday night marked the most-watched Democratic Primary debate in history, with around 15.5 million viewers. This blew away expectations, and that’s not even counting those who accessed the feed online. But it’s not the most remarkable thing about this debate.

They’re just given. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to the journalistic environment that’s created around […]
As Speaker of the House, “Taliban” Dan Webster would hold America hostage
As the dust settles on a crazy week, it’s looking more like Kevin McCarthy rejected the Republican party’s job as Speaker of the House, rather than being pushed out from the position. There had been rumors late Thursday and Friday, that party scolds would distribute evidence of an old affair McCarthy allegedly covered-up. There were […]
