Matt Gaetz Is WinningUsually, you need about 10 minutes to walk from the Rayburn House Office Building to the House Chamber. But if you’re running from a reporter, it’ll only take you five.When Matt Gaetz spotted me outside his office door one afternoon early last November, he popped in his AirPods and started speed walking down the hall. I took off after him, waving and smiling like the good-natured midwesterner I am. “Congressman, hi,” I said, suddenly wishing I’d worn shoes with arch support. “I just wanted to introduce myself!” I had prepared a long list of questions, hoping for a thoughtful conversation but ready for a tense one. He was a firebrand, after all, or so said the title of his 2020 memoir, Firebrand.Gaetz is a creature of our time: versed in the art of performance politics and eager to blow up anything to get a little something. He…

The RFK Jr. Strategy Clicks Into FocusWhat if everyone’s wrong? What if Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign is savvier, more organized, and more cunning than it’s been given credit for? This past weekend, Kennedy’s “We the People” party gamed an Iowa loophole to secure his spot on the state’s 2024 election ballot. Instead of spending months gathering thousands of signatures, Kennedy’s allies persuaded hundreds of voters to show up in the same place on the same day and partake in something akin to a potemkin political convention. The summit barely lasted two hours. It was a bold gambit, and it worked.On Saturday in West Des Moines, Kennedy “accepted” his nascent party’s nomination for president, then spoke extemporaneously (no teleprompters, no printed remarks) inside the historic Val-Air Ballroom. Twenty years ago on this same stage, Howard Dean gripped the mic and emitted a guttural “YAHHHHHH!”—a gargling, alien howl that many…

Marjorie Taylor Greene Files Amendment to Israel Aid Bill for Space Lasers — And It Just Gets Weir…Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury Signifying nothing. — William Shakespeare, Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5, lines 26–28) As House Republicans battle amongst themselves over spending bills and aid packages for Israel and Ukraine, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) contributed several amendments that, while they’re highly unlikely to become law, did at least provide some amusement for congressional news junkies. Greene’s tenure in Congress thus far is marked by an abundance of outrageous headlines but bereft of any significant legislative accomplishments. A search of the legislation she has sponsored brings up only two bills that even passed the House — one to rename a federal courthouse in Georgia after a judge who died in 2022 and one to impeach…

Trump Could Use the 1873 Comstock Act to Ban Abortion Nationwide. Here’s How.Last week, in a bid to clarify his historically nebulous stance on abortion, Donald Trump said that if reelected, he intends to leave abortion rights “to the states,” seemingly contradicting his prior stance in favor of a 16-week national ban.  But Mary Ziegler, a law professor at UC Davis and leading abortion historian, thinks that a complete ban could be on the agenda for a future Trump administration—and the vehicle for it would be the Comstock Act, a 19th-century anti-obscenity law still on the books. Ziegler and other legal experts warn the law could be marshaled to ban all abortions—even in blue states that protect abortion rights—and possibly even contraception and gender-affirming care, while circumventing the democratic process.  Let’s start with a quick history lesson. In 1873, Congress passed the Comstock Act, which bars the mailing of “every article…
