Example #12738384 of people complaining about the NYT because they just want to complain.
If you can’t pick up on the tone that’s being written in, I don’t know what to do for you.

On whether Biden has called him since Christie has made it clear he’s not backing Trump:
“He hasn’t.”
“It’s pretty stupid for him not to.”

Very few voters think in party platforms. But, increasingly, most members of Congress do — creating a legislature that is getting less done and is viewed with skepticism by the voters: wakeuptopolitics.com/april-22-2024/

In recent decades, Congress has grown less productive, less representative, less trusted — and less fluid, with few major votes, many of them along party lines.
Last week, a rare burst of legislative fluidity showed the way out of that toxic combination: wakeuptopolitics.com/april-22-2024
AOC continues to stake out a very interesting position on the Dem ideological spectrum
Votes against Israel aid, but joins statement — unlike any other Squad member — affirming Israel’s right to self-defense and signaling support for strengthening Iron Dome
House passes resolution sponsored by @RepDavidKustoff condemning Iran.
I wrote last year about Kustoff being one of only two Jewish Republicans in Congress and how that has impacted his role on Israel and other issues: jewishinsider.com/2023/08/david-…

Something for everyone in this morning’s newsletter.
Enron for the accounting nerds.
Canons of statutory construction for the legal nerds.
Trump/Jack Smith tie-in for the political nerds.

Happening today at the Supreme Court:
A dispute over one word — “otherwise” — in a statute from the Enron scandal aftermath could lead to hundreds of January 6th charges being thrown out (including Donald Trump’s).
Here’s how: wakeuptopolitics.com/april-16-2024
Odd error: @WhiteHouse says that @POTUS and @VP will receive the president’s daily briefing in the Oval Office together tomorrow morning.
But Harris arrived in Los Angeles tonight, and will be there tomorrow, at the same time she will supposedly be with Biden in the Oval.
My main takeaway here isn’t that Biden is gaining, it’s that Trump was +2 when he was the supposed “frontrunner”
No point getting caught up in the polls, folks: this is a 50-50 race and it’s going to be that way up until Election Day
