Some sad news: Paste politics has joined the same farm upstate many others in digital media have. Eternal thanks to @ShaneRyanHere and @joshjackson for taking a chance on an unproven sales guy way back in the before times in early 2016.

Here& #39;s a thread pieces I& #39;m proud of
It was a great experience covering the Trump-Russia madness with @SollenbergerRC, and his piece about how Steve Bannon thinks your stupid was one of those that both hammered home an important point and did mega traffic. One of our most read stories ever. https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/steve-bannon/steve-bannon-thinks-youre-stupid/">https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/...
Carmen Bojanowski cold-emailed me with no previous full time experience and wrote some of the best stuff for both our business and media sections. Her piece on who deserves a living wage is especially resonant in our current moment. https://www.pastemagazine.com/business/living-wage/what-jobs-are-worthy-of-a-living-wage/

Paste tasked me with leading our Trump-Russia coverage, & I& #39;m proud of the balance I was able to strike between "something clearly happened here" and "DADDY MUELLER IS GOD." What I wrote in October 2016 basically turned out to be the gist of the scandal. https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/donald-trump/donald-trump-is-the-kremlins-man-a-comprehensive-c/">https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/...
I did a 22k word, 5 part deep dive into the Trump-Russia mess in an attempt to find as much factual information about what the hell is going on as possible, and turns out you can construct a pretty convincing case just using Trump& #39;s words through time. https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/donald-trump/the-kremlins-man-how-donald-trumps-own-words-conne/">https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/...
I underwent an ideological transformation at Paste, as I realized I hadn& #39;t challenged my fundamental beliefs since college, and here is 3,000 words considering whether I still was a capitalist. https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/capitalism/am-i-still-a-capitalist/">https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/...
Same with this one and @SethAbramson (appearing above his own writing, which is **chefs kiss**). I wrote the first debunker on him and was quoted in a couple notable publications on the topic of Trump-Russia grifters because of this piece. https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/seth-abramson/stop-listening-to-seth-abramson-on-donald-trumps-r/">https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/...
Fittingly, I& #39;ll end this thread with a critique about how capitalism is built to create the oligopolistic reality around us due to the dynamic it places upon the supply and demand curves.

Thank you to all who read us over the years. It meant the world. https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/capitalism/capitalisms-fatal-flaw-is-something-so-simple-anyo/">https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/...
