Democratic Attorneys General Have Defied Trump. Some May Fall on Nov. 3. (Gift Article)

Land of contrasts. Not in the headline, but the article mentions IA, KS, GA, and FL as potential red to blue flips, and TX polling also supports this. (all outside shots I think, would have to be a good night.) www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

Democratic Attorneys General Have Defied Trump. Some May Fall on Nov. 3. Democratic attorneys general have spearheaded state resistance to President Trump’s policies. But some face tight election races despite polls showing broad voter support for Democrats.

and that makes me wonder why would NYT do headlines claiming that Lula or Macron or Gov Walz or state attorneys general are "defying Trump"? what are Trump's desires? is he a reliable narrator in any way, including of his own wishes? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

imo article by David W Chen is better than the terrible headline but the NYT has a bad habit of framing elected officials (tho a few states don't elect AGs) like Macron or Lula or Gov Walz as "defying" the president as if they lack sovereign authority of their own www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...
