I encourage President Trump to engage in this battle and, if necessary, as they say in mob movies, “go to the mattresses.” Why, and why now?

Thomas Kaplan, NY Times
With another judge confirmed Tuesday by the Senate, President Trump and Senate Republicans are leaving an ever-expanding imprint on the judiciary, nudging powerful appeals courts rightward through a determined effort to nominate and confirm a steady procession of young conservative jurists.

Anthony Scaramucci, Washington Examiner
President Trump is putting American workers first, and it’s paying off big time for Missouri.

Trump ran on a series of extravagant promises that haven't come true.

Sarah Jones, The New Republic
The lack of a cogent platform has become conspicuous under Trump.

Harry Kazianis, TAC
But his policies are, in fact, right out of the standard GOP playbook.

“What a comfort,” Franklin Delano Roosevelt said one day back in 1936, “to get away from the damn newspapers … I wish I had enough money to start a newspaper, confined to news without interpretation, colouration, twisting or downright lying – I think it would be a financial success.”

Nick Bilton, Vanity Fair
Mark Warner’s manifesto is the first shot in Washington’s war against Silicon Valley. Will Zuck, Dorsey, and Brin take them seriously, or will both sides hit the mattresses?

Sen. Mark Warner, USAT
National conversation about privacy, data and social media is long overdue. I've released 20 proposals on how to balance technology regulation and innovation.
