The Guardian
What holds, and what fails, under pressure, standards and accountability.
Joe Manchin reads as The Guardian because his defining instinct is to protect stability against pressure from every direction. A Democrat representing a deeply Republican state, he repeatedly anchored the Senate against legislation he judged fiscally reckless, absorbing enormous political cost to hold a principled line.
“I mean, the leakiest White House in history, the sort of juiciest story you could imagine. And this just comes out now, that does seem sort of hard to believe. Last thing along these lines.”
“Sure. One other weird story the Emperor might be kind of a wimp. So Trump's son in law slash former top advisor Jared Kushner has a book coming out. It's Leaking, The Washington Post got a copy.”

I did love the New York Times also had another great story, Maggie Haverman had a bunch of Trump campaign emails, including messages from a different lawyer in Arizona who was helping the campaign with their effort to send a fake slate of electors to Washington for their little coup attempt.”
“The families of the victims of the 9 11 attacks are furious at Trump because his Bedminster course is hosting the Saudi-owned Live Golf Tour this weekend. And he's getting a huge bag for this thing, like probably, you know, tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars in Trump's pocket from the Saudis.”
