Nick Ayers

On April 27, the Wall Street Journal reported about the creation of a “Manhattan Project” for Covid-19.

Eliana Johnson and Alex Isenstadt, in their reporting for Politico, reminded readers what a top of the pile DC job presidential chief of staff is. But for the two Trump has gone through, Reince Priebus and John Kelly?

Lucky John Kelly! He won't be central to the final unravelling of the Trumpist House of Horrors. Trump, who had already promised Nick Ayers that he would make him chief of staff, finally worked up the courage to announce he was firing Kelly-- although, of course, not to his face.

Last week, Vicky Ward wrote the definitive piece on GOP slime machine Nick Ayers, Swamp Thing. It's like a book about an insider that few people know about. Ayers is Mike Pence's brain in the same way Rove was Bush's.
