Some personal news—I’m now D.C. Correspondent for The Nevada Independent! As always, I aim to tell unique stories about how policy and politics affect regular people, to write human profiles about those in power, and to break news. Press lists/tips/coffee: [email protected]
This is awful. National Journal is an institution in DC political coverage. Wishing Casey and others who lost their jobs the best of luck.
Some personal news (the bad kind): After 50 years of scoops and insightful reporting, National Journal is scrapping much of its Congress coverage, so several reporters and myself have been let go. If you've got any leads on a Capitol Hill reporting position, feel free to drop me…
In response to Trump's decision, @repdinatitus says that tomorrow she will introduce the Renewing Efforts to Suspend Testing and Reinforce Arms-Control Initiatives Now (RESTRAIN) Act to prohibit explosive nuclear testing in the United States.

Sen. Rick Scott blocked Rosen's resolution this morning.
Trump wants to pay himself $230 million of YOUR tax dollars. I’m going to the Senate floor today to ask my colleagues to condemn his attempt to pad his own pockets while he cancels SNAP funding. Time for DC Republicans to put the American people first. nbcnews.com/politics/trump…
NEW: Nevada is back in the running to host the first in the nation primary in 2028. @ArtieBlancoSays: "In Nevada, we’re very respectful of the process. We don’t cry about it; we don’t get angry. We just go back and we start the fight again." thenevadaindependent.com/article/nevada…
I listened to all the podcasts hosted by potential 2028 presidential candidates so you don't have to. Even on 2x speed...it was painful. Our listening guide: washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…
NEW: In a statement first shared with The Nevada Independent, @nvdems say Nevada is best positioned to be first in the nation according to the just-adopted early state criteria of rigorousness, efficiency, and fairness.
DNC RBC meeting ongoing—much discussion this morning centered on whether to list out diverse constituency groups. It addressed concerns about inclusion, outside criticisms about “identity politics,” and how diversity was an original goal in altering the primary schedule.
The DNC's Rules & Bylaws Committee is meeting now to lay out the process to decide early primary states for 2028. Members from Michigan and Georgia stressed that "retail politics" looks different now: fundraising, podcasts, and social media matter a lot in the modern era.
NEW, from me: Potential 2028 contenders JB Pritzker and Andy Beshear were among those who gave to Nevada House Democrats over the past few months. Details, plus donations from Trump-friendly venture capitalists and travel guru Rick Steves: thenevadaindependent.com/article/new-fe…
