  • Political news moves fast. Follow The Record slows down long enough to check the documents. I examine court filings, government records, public statements, and what happened afterward. Allegations remain allegations. Court orders are reported as court orders. Unanswered questions stay visible.

  • THE SPEECH IS OVER. THE RECORD IS STILL OPEN. Donald Trump used his primetime address to revive claims about the 2020 election and call for action before future elections. The question now is what happens after the speech: - Does rhetoric become an investigation? - Does an agency issue an order? - Are election procedures changed? - Do courts intervene? - Does the evidence support the original claims? A claim is not proof. A speech is not an order. Official action leaves a record. Follow me

  • Government asks citizens to follow the rules. Shouldn't government have to explain its own decisions? I drafted a constitutional accountability proposal based on one simple idea: Public power should be able to explain itself. If officials make a decision, they should identify the facts and legal authority behind it. If records are denied, there should be written reasons. If conflicts exist, they should be disclosed. No giant new bureaucracy. Just transparency and accountability. Read it

  • Trump has already demonstrated that he is willing to use presidential power, political pressure, false claims, federal officials, and procedural disruption to try to overturn an election he lost. He pressured state officials to alter certified results, promoted false electors, pushed the Justice Department to legitimize unsupported fraud allegations, and demanded that the vice president obstruct the counting of lawful electoral votes. His present conduct must therefore be evaluated against that
