    Proud to have co-authored this piece with and in the : Merrick Garland Needs to Show He Knows What Jan. 6 Was Really About

    McKinsey was one of Tony Blinken's clients at his advisory firm WestExec. Among the services WestExec provides, according to its site, is "managing China-related risk." A great question to ask the secretary of state: were you advising McKinsey on its work in China?

    The management consulting firm McKinsey & Co. has acknowledged a commercial connection to "the Chinese government," according to a court document, even though the firm told a U.S. senator it had no business ties to the Beijing regime.

    People often ask me what Reid would have done differently. Hypotheticals are hard: would he have been able to get Manchin and Sinema? Idk. But on one thing I'm confident: the minute he realized the Dem agenda hinged on a 50/50 majority, he would have replaced the Parliamentarian.

    In 2009, a Black woman on Long Island was tortured and killed by her ex. How police had failed to protect her was kept secret in a 781-page internal affairs report. For years, judges, lawyers and the PD didn't even let her family see it. We got the report.

    Nope. Members of Congress trading stocks is a textbook conflict of interest and abuse of power—not the free market working as it should. is so wrong on this one.

    Pelosi, says lawmakers/Capitol staff shouldn't be prohibited from trading stock: "This is a free market, we are a free market economy, they should be able to participate in that."
