Will Saletan and Joe Perticone October 3 ∙ Paid 406 100 43 Donald Trump posted Tom Cotton’s private phone number because the Arkansas senator is blocking his push for permanent daylight saving time. Will Saletan and Joe Perticone take on the strange fight, the golf-industry interests behind it, and why Trump is picking on one of his own loyal allies with Republicans already staring down a brutal midterm environment.
A quick note: Joe Perticone spends his days on Capitol Hill talking to lawmakers, following the fights most people never hear about, and listening to what Republicans say when the cameras aren’t running.
