It’s WaPo with the scoop of the century on Terry McAuliffe :
Likewise, McAuliffe’s traveling chief of staff, Justin Paschal, 34, who has worked for him for eight years, said McAuliffe never lets him see him sleep.
“On slow nights, Terry wanders over to the coffin he keeps at headquarters,” Paschal said. “He just pops the lid and hops in. When he’s in there, we can set our coffees and iPhones on top and everything. Terry doesn’t care. He calls it ‘putting on his thinking cap.’ Will.i.am. jokes that he’s ‘visualizing blackness.’ Who knows what he does in there.”
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
