His writing delves into everything from libertarian and conservative ideas to liberal perspectives, hoping to give everyone something to think about. In doing that, he hopes to cut through the noise, pulling from a mix of agencies and outlets across the board to keep things balanced and try to make sense of the messy bloodsport that is politics.
