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…

🎯 @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

Every president of the 21st Century has now had at least 1 Jewish Chief of Staff
“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…
“El-Sayed, if he wins on Tuesday and enters the Senate in January, would be the most anti-Israel U.S. senator since the formation of the Jewish state 78 years ago.” @ReidEpstein & @TimBalk nytimes.com/2026/11/01/us/po… via @NYTimes
“As @WSJFreeEx friend Tevi Troy notes in a recent piece for @FoxNewsOpinion, political polls are ‘more accurate as snapshots of opinion rather than predictors of behavior, specifically, who will actually submit a ballot.’” @MattHennessey wsj.com/opinion/free-express…
“perhaps @HaleyforMI’s brave and principled stand will cause more Democrats to think twice about elevating to the Senate a man who is comfortable spreading poison about Israel and its supporters.” @Wsjopinion wsj.com/opinion/haley-steven…

It was a symbiotic relationship. Woodward wanted the inside scoop, and the leakers wanted both positive coverage in the press and to undermine the conservatives within the administration. This internal jockeying was not costless, writes @TeviTroy

“For @mikejgr, founder of @manivmobility, Sunday’s race is more than a test of endurance: It’s a chance to bring together generations of runners & celebrate a father whose determination he continues to draw inspiration from…” @HaleyCohen19 @JewishInsider jewishinsider.com/2026/10/ma…
Why am I not surprised? “The effort to elect Abdul El-Sayed took in tens of thousands of dollars from a businessman entangled in an elaborate criminal plot involving an Armenian mob boss, a polygamous Mormon sect & tax fraud” @WillBredderman @JewishInsider jewishinsider.com/2026/10/zu…

Do not miss this revelatory column by @TeviTroy about the soft but rancorous sorority of so-called Republicans who were major sources for Bob Woodward's attacks on, yes, Republicans. Those soft-palmed, treacherous chihuahuas are still with us. wsj.com/opinion/free-express…
“The UK is not unlike California without Silicon Valley: all the gridlock, none of the growth to pay for it. & it makes me want to cry. I see a nation of vast potential being slowly strangled by what we might call Shire syndrome”@MatthewSyed @NYPostOpinion nypost.com/2026/10/29/opinio…
