Again, can you imagine if a writer of color, a Black reporter specifically, did what Olivia Nuzzi did, what would happen to her career?

Would she be rehabilitated in less than a year? Hired by Vanity Fair? Given a book deal? A NYT puff piece?

It's a big club and we ain't in it.

The evidence is growing that Latinos are less racially polarized than black or white voters. We’re voting like the pocketbook voters we are.

Putting aside the (big) questions about Greene's motivations and sincerity, I feel compelled to say that, in breaking with Trump, she's doing it in exactly the way I would tell her to do it if I were her political consultant.

Maps Show How Latinos Who Shifted Right in 2024 Snapped Back Left in 2025

Heavily Hispanic areas that shifted the most to the left in 2025 were virtually a mirror image of the places that had swung to Trump in 2024. The two cities that shifted the most toward Democrats were those with the highest percentage of Hispanic voters in the state.

I’ll be interviewing the reporter Monday morning on Substack. There’s nothing illuminating about this though.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. It’s one of the first rules of the universe we learn as children.

As a people we have forgotten the very basics of what makes a society work.
