Reasons Elizabeth Warren Should Run for President
Ezra Klein, Vox
Klein writes: "Is Elizabeth Warren running for president? Maybe! In the past, when asked if she's running for president, Warren has been pretty clear: 'I am not running for president,' she said in June of 2014. 'Do you want to put an exclamation point at the end of that?'"

The Great
Kansas Tea Party Disaster
Mark Binelli, Rolling Stone
Binelli writes: "When Brownback got into office, the first thing he said in our caucus was, 'I'm going to pass a budget, and I don't want any Democrat votes.' He wants all of his guns pointed in the same direction, and he made it very clear what would happen if you disagreed with him. He was willing to bankrupt the state to get his way."

Scott Walker Is the Kochs' Model Governor
John Nichols, The Cap Times
Nichols writes: "Scott Walker is a model governor. Not in every sense, as critics of the Wisconsin Republican's anti-labor extremism, ethical lapses and failed experiments with economic austerity will remind you. But he is certainly a model governor in the eyes of billionaire conservative donors David and Charles Koch and their acolytes."

Pretending the Torture Report Isn't a Document of American
Failures
Kia Makarechi, Vanity Fair
Makarechi writes: "The committee's 'torture report,' as it's colloquially known, focuses on the C.I.A.'s detention and interrogation programs after 9/11, and no one on any side is even pretending that it's not full of horrifying details that would upset anyone who believes in human rights or responsible intelligence gathering."

Fear May Win
Elections, But It Makes Governing Hard
Cynthia Tucker, The National Memo
Tucker writes: "According to Hollywood, most disasters feature government or institutional figures who try to downplay the scale of catastrophe, at least publicly, in order to prevent mass panic. Rightly or wrongly, these fictional leaders want to shield the public from the facts because they believe disseminating the truth would only provoke hysteria. Right now, though, life is hardly imitating art."
