A window into a little known period in the life of Gov. Ron DeSantis — a time when he partied with high school students and insisted that the Civil War was not about slavery — by

voting in Chicago is an absolute mess. Found out last night our polling place had changed — not from the city but via a random text from a voting org. Went to new polling place this morning, and they didn’t yet have proper ballots for our precinct.
Dick Uihlein, the GOP megadonor, gave $6,000 to the conservative school board candidates in Ozaukee County. Wonder if he's involved in other Wisconsin school races. Here's our story on the Mequon-Thiensville school recall and why it's a big deal.

One of the key findings from The New York Times investigation of Trump's taxes involves Ivanka Trump. While working as an employee of the Trump Organization, she appears to have received “consulting fees” that also helped reduce the family’s tax bill.

Since

mentioned Ms., I'll point out the stats in Union County, Ms., where I grew up. Of 28,507 residents, 4,936 have tested positive. Eighty people have died. Yet, even though the vaccine is widely available, only 34.4 percent are vaccinated.
In Mississippi, where governor has resisted a mandate for masks in public schools, over 4,500 students (& nearly 950 teachers/staff) have tested positive since Aug 9. Roughly 20,000 students, (4.5% of public school population) were in quarantine this past week due to exposure.

My latest: there is a killer, or maybe more than one, stalking gay bars in NYC. At least 2 men were drugged, robbed using their phone’s facial recognition tech, and killed.
More survived similar attacks, most recently on Nov 12. I spoke to 6 survivors.
Dick Uihlein's financial support for the Mequon-Thiensville School Board recall isn't the first time he's gotten involved in a local school board election. Mr. Uihlein once bankrolled a school board candidate in Illinois who opposed trans students.

"When McKinsey Come to Town." Talk about tough competition!
In their new book, "When McKinsey Comes to Town," New York Times investigative reporters Walt Bogdanich and Michael Forsythe dig inside the consulting firm that, they say, has been a major force for spreading ideas globally, both good and bad.
Many Republican officials from the White House to the Florida state house believe Ron DeSantis, the GOP nominee for governor, has squandered valuable time
At a time when democracies and their basic values are increasingly under attack, McKinsey has helped raise the stature of authoritarian and corrupt governments across the globe.

Sometimes Yale and Harvard go after these kids. Sometimes the best university in the state, in this case UMississippi, grab them. It is always tough to get in to the top state university. So a good indicator of who these kids are
As a reporter I would address this in my story.

Bogdanich, who worked at 2 Cleveland papers, the P.D. and the defunct Press, is possibly the most dogged investigative reporter now working in the country. He's won 3 Pulitzers. I had the good fortune to get a brief taste of his blast furnace intensity once. It was unforgettable.
