Despite losing her home state of South Carolina, Nikki Haley has vowed to stay in the GOP race, with Michigan hosting its primary tomorrow, Jack McCordick [writes](. (Meanwhile, Donald Trump portrayed himself over the weekend as a “[political dissident](.”) Plus, McCordick [finds]( Clarence Thomas hiring a law clerk who had been accused of sending racist texts. Elsewhere, Joe Pompeo [considers]( the The Village Voice’s legacy through a conversation with Tricia Romano, author of a new oral history of the alt-weekly. For decades, The Voice had a “hold on political and cultural movements that other publications didn’t,” she says, and was “written by all the best people who know their shit and can tell you what to do, where to go.” But now “you can find all those things” in other places. Thanks for reading.
