I confess to much FOMO on covering the collapse of the House of Representatives but Tierney Sneed and I are working on a new project named Rory. Will return to work (as consensus Speaker) in a couple of months.

I’m biased, but this dispatch by Jim Newell from Trump’s arraignment hearing shows why it’s Actually Good that reporters outside the usual court press corp parachute in for symbolically significant proceedings like this and bring with them unfamiliar eyes slate.com/news-and-polit…

There’s important symbolism here, but also another political/ legal issue: 100s of defendants have had fair trials on January 6th charges— some with acquittals— by Washington D.C. juries. Meanwhile, Trump and his allies are arguing that Trump is entitled to a different jury pool.

For 2.5 years, CNN has diligently covered legal proceeding for 100s of Capitol rioters. That was an important story on its own, but it’s especially important in understanding the significance of Trump making his first appearance at *this* courthouse today cnn.com/2023/08/03/pol…
