1/3 #ThePowerandtheMoney makes @WSJ’s Top Political books: “Tevi Troy chronicles the variously cold, hostile, friendly & affectionate relationship btn wealthy industrialists & US presidents… Rarely have current events illustrated a book’s theme so nicely” wsj.com/arts-culture/books/t…
“The Long & Short of It: In @PostOpinions, Bush officials Douglas Feith & “Scooter” Libby look at the debate about the concept of ‘endless wars,’ arguing the term is increasingly used as a political catchphrase that doesn’t reflect reality” @JewishInsider jewishinsider.com/2026/11/da…

On the national security (and, of course, political) importance of knowing your district - from today’s @WSJopinion @WSJ 📰
“I told him I had been there many times and visited many of the businesses there, and that there was no drone manufacturer there. A reminder to my colleagues: Nothing is more important than knowing your district.” @EliseStefanik @wsjopinion wsj.com/opinion/chinese-dron…
“When @RonaldReagan became president, the Cold War had already lasted more than 3 decades… #Reagan, rather than display weariness, explained to Americans the conflict’s necessity & high purpose… He brought the #ColdWar to a successful end.” @PostOpinions washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

.@DrDominicGreen sees the future: “The Joseph R. Biden Presidential Library struggled to find donors & remains a virtual project administered from Room 1510 of the National Archives off-site facility at 8601 Adelphi Park Road, College Park, Md.” @WSJFreeEx wsj.com/opinion/free-express…
“Republicans will have to meet voters where they are, have a big tent approach, & put forth solutions to solve real & dire economic & existential challenges that hardworking families are facing in their day to day lives.” @EliseStefanik @NYPostOpinion nypost.com/2026/11/08/opinio…

🎯 @ReaganInstitute Senior Fellow @TeviTroy in @nytimes “Even so, presidents can still make a difference in that final stretch without Congress, especially in foreign policy, noted Mr. Troy. His old boss, Mr. Bush, after the 2006 midterm elections, surged more troops to Iraq and changing strategy there, helping to turn around the war. Mr. Clinton in his final two years successfully prosecuted the Kosovo war.
“They didn’t go away,” said Mr. Troy, who is now a senior fellow at the Ronald Reagan Institute. “They didn’t have huge legislative accomplishments — none of them had control of Congress. But they all did important things. Things can and do happen in the last two years.’”

1/3 “Tevi Troy, a presidential historian who previously worked for Bush, said all the disorder finally got to the public. ‘Now we’re looking at the tumult,’ he said. ‘People aren’t happy. I think they wanted normal, & they’re not getting normal from either party’” @PeterBakerNYT

“Parties should stop listening to their most fervent activists & be normal. Let trade be free, don’t start wars of choice (culture or ICBM), ensure energy is cheap & inflation minimal, maintain a reasonably restrictive border policy” @RKyleSmith @WSJFreeEx wsj.com/opinion/free-express…

“The U.S. thankfully also has an independent judiciary, including a Supreme Court that rules based on its best reading of the law. Yet Democrats keep trying to nationalize election rules and destabilize the Court…” @wsjopinion

"@Chellvia has done really impressive work here. She's also like a female Tevi Troy of book tour mode. I say this out of love. Tevi is one of my closest friends…it’s crazy not to try to do your best to sell it" @jonahdispatch @jonahremnant #TheGrimOldDays thedispatch.com/podcast/remn…
“‘The turn toward profanity is, like most things in politics, entirely premeditated,’ the great Barton Swaim wrote here last winter. At the time, JD Vance, Gavin Newsom & Kamala Harris were all cussing up a storm…” @MeghanGurdon @WSJFreeEx

“El-Sayed refused to meet Stevens halfway. He doesn’t just want to win tomorrow’s election. He wants to win on a campaign that does not disavow antisemitic ads and rhetoric that blames Israel for the economic woes of Michiganders.” @EliLake @TheFP

“most Americans still want private property, liberty & equality. If radicals such as #ElSayed, #Omar & #AOC gain confidence from a 2026 victory & challenge those principles, they could demolish the Democrats for a generation or 2—& rightly so” @gil_troy jns.org/opinion/gil-troy/dem…
