David Maloniez has spent years following the people, policies, and decisions that shape politics in the United States and around the world. His reporting covers elections, Congress, the White House, and the public policy fights that dominate the news cycle, with an emphasis on giving readers the context they need to understand not just what happened, but why it matters. David approaches every story with a commitment to accuracy and fairness, resisting the pull toward oversimplification even when a topic is contentious. He's especially drawn to stories that connect today's political fights to earlier moments in American history, whether that means tracing how a Supreme Court ruling echoes an older precedent or explaining how a modern policy debate grew out of a decades-old disagreement. Outside of writing, David spends much of his free time outdoors, mapping out new hiking routes and planning weekend trips to trailheads he hasn't explored yet. He's steadily working through a growing stack of history books, most focused on the presidencies and political movements that shaped the country, and he rarely passes up a chance to visit a historic landmark while traveling. David is also something of an amateur photographer, and he likes to bring a camera along on his hikes to document the small details most people walk past. Around home, he's usually the one narrating the historical context behind whatever documentary happens to be playing.
