About Author
Kunal Dey is senior news writer at news.meaww. He is originally a computer engineer who took a keen interest in US and world politics after Donald Trump’s historic win in 2016. Now based in Bengaluru, India, he tries to bring a fresh perspective to the goings on at Washington, D.C.

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.
