Ya know, I don't think this is a little point. In this mis and dis-informed era, VIBE and emotion shape perceptions, clicks, shares... Yes, for many of us, MAGA always deeply deeply uncool & cringe-y. But I sense that feeling is becoming more universal. Is MAGA in its cringe era? wapo.st/3No31Mo

After 14 campaigns—12 for Joe, two for Beau—Jill Biden's 50 years in public life is ending. She's at peace with it, if “disappointed with how it unfolded,” she says. And endings, of course, aren't the whole story. My exit interview with the first lady: www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

Sheeny, shiny, glossy Jack Schlossberg. @karavoght.bsky.social spent months talking to him and thinking about what to make of him. The result is this great piece capturing him in print amber like few others could. www.washingtonpost.com/style/2024/1...
Usha Vance: an ex-Democrat who taught JD the ways of the elite and helped propel him into political prominence — but who doesn't say much about herself. From @karavoght.bsky.social and I: www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

Usha Vance, incoming Second Lady, once guided JD into high society at Yale, where they first met. Now, just over a decade later, he will become vice president.
