Hi Prospect readers,

Covering the Biden administration has been vexing. In some departments,
his administration has been better than I expected. In others, I have
been underwhelmed.  

For instance, while Attorney General Merrick Garland enjoys #resistance
liberal hero status for his thwarted Supreme Court bid, his appointment
to head up the Department of Justice is not so heroic.

 

SIGN ME UP!

 

In this piece
,
which was produced in partnership with The Intercept, I dug into the
powerful roles Garland has been farming out to the favored lawyers of
Big Tech; it was actually quoted on the Senate floor

during the Judiciary Committee hearing for Vanita Gupta, who was
recently confirmed as associate attorney general.

In my mind, this is quintessential Prospect reporting, the type of deep
investigation that mainstream news won't touch. We have to be willing
to criticize the Biden administration where others might pull their
punches.

This is what I think you, our readers, come to us for: An informed,
unique, and progressive vantage on this watershed moment in Democratic
power and American politics.

We depend upon your support to tell stories that matter and that keep
Washington on its toes, with a tenacious focus on Ideas, Politics, and
Power.

Support us today by becoming a member.
