Huge congrats to @NickMiroff on his richly deserved recognition from the @PolkAwards. theatlantic.com/press-releases…
It Wasn’t Democrats Who Persuaded Trump to Change Course (w/@russellberman) theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…
The reactions from the GOP sent an unmistakable message in their volume, if not in their rhetoric, to President Trump: Enough. That so many spoke up was a sign that Republicans had finally lost patience with federal agents occupying a major American city theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…
Republicans’ responses to the shooting of Alex Pretti were relatively mild—but the sheer number of them sent an unmistakable message to Donald Trump, @jonlemire and @russellberman report. theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…
GOP statements of concern after the shooting of Alex Pretti were relatively mild, all things considered. But they kept coming, one after another, & their volume—if not their rhetoric—sent an unmistakable message to Donald Trump: Enough. w/ @JonLemire theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…
Trump’s Greenland fixation has posed yet another test for GOP leaders who have allowed him to largely ignore Congress—and their party is not quite as unfaltering as it once was, @russellberman reports. theatlantic.com/newsletters/20…
Congress hardly made a peep after Trump bypassed it in his Venezuela raid—the latest instance of the branch’s diminishment, @russellberman and @elainejgodfrey report. “This is the weakest Congress in American history,” one Democratic member told them. theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…
"At this point," @sethmoulton told us, "Trump could kill these Republicans’ kids, and they’d tell him it was a great job." theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…
"This is the weakest Congress in American history." @elainejgodfrey and I on the fading relevance of the legislative branch, which in less than a year has handed its power over spending and war-making to President Trump: theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…
Yikes. This quote is brutal. “'The reason he’s hanging on is because Trump wants a weak speaker,' a House Republican told us. 'He wants a speaker that essentially functions like a staff member, which is what Mike Johnson does.'” theatlantic.com/politics/2025/…
Every quote in this story—from members of Johnson's own caucus!—is just more brutal than the last.
Being a GOP member of Congress in the Trump era is pretty miserable, @elainejgodfrey and @russellberman report theatlantic.com/politics/2025/…
“They’re basically put in a position where they’ve got an honorary title as a member of Congress but no authority to do anything,” a former GOP rep told us. For this, House Republicans have themselves partly to blame: theatlantic.com/politics/2025/…
"He’s a good man, a good attorney, a good constitutionalist, and a bad politician." House Republicans end 2025 on a sour note, & they're blaming the man they elevated from obscurity 2 yrs ago. @elainejgodfrey & I report on Mike Johnson's unhappy campers: theatlantic.com/politics/2025/…
Wow. In the face of bomb threats, swatting, and intimidation from their own party, GOP lawmakers in Indiana just voted against a redistricting plan backed by Trump. “I’m going to do what’s right and let the chips fall where they may." theatlantic.com/politics/2025/…
Despite heavy-handed influence from the president and his allies, Indiana Republicans rejected a redistricting plan that would have given Republicans all nine seats in the state’s U.S. House delegation. "This is perhaps the biggest defeat that Trump has suffered from any
Indiana Republicans just handed Trump his biggest defeat yet, @russellberman reports from Indianapolis: theatlantic.com/politics/2025/…
Republicans in the Indiana Senate have decisively defeated the proposed redistricting map, in a huge defeat for President Trump. The vote was 31-19. A majority of the 40 Republicans voted no. Read why they did here: theatlantic.com/politics/2025/…
Great portrait by @russellberman of Indiana Republicans, who have disliked being bullied by Washington so much that they have dug in further. “I’m going to do what’s right and let the chips fall where they may,” said one who faced a bomb threat. theatlantic.com/politics/2025/…
