Like dogfighting, gambling on war is the sort of hobby that is best described in simple, direct moral terms. (βSatanicβ was the one that came to my mind.) www.thebulwark.com/p/gambling-o...
It appears that enough people have convinced Chris Van Hollen of the silly idea that he's an actual 2028 contender. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

most of the replies to this are just blue sky libs complaining that the mayor of america's largest city uses twitter
Bulwark reader Rich Cook guessed it. Every subheading in today's newsletter is a Frank Miller title
We have a few comic book fans who read Press Pass. I'm hoping at least one catches the easter eggs in today's newsletter www.thebulwark.com/p/the-no-new...
If we're going to replay 2003 as a country I am requesting that BMX become cool again as well. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-no-new...
Reddit AMA is LIVE. I'll start answering questions when I'm inside the House chamber and the speech begins, around 9pm. www.reddit.com/r/politics/c...
Trying something new tonight for my, idk, 10th state of the union/presidential address to a joint meeting of Congress:
I will be doing a reddit AMA from inside the House chamber during tonight's speech. Ask me anything you wanna know that you're not seeing on TV www.thebulwark.com/p/a-republic...
Another Rod Dreher profile? In this economy?
Also in January, Billy Long (Trump's Iceland amb. nom) joked on the House floor that Iceland would be a state with him as governor. These fuckups can cause widespread panic.
In today's newsletter, about a week after Trump repeatedly said "Iceland" when he meant "Greenland" in his Davos speech, the Iceland amb. to the US hired a big K street firm to "provide strategic advice on navigating engagements with the United States government." www.thebulwark.com/p/so-you-lie...
"One lesson that can be drawn from the second Trump administration is that being a member of the Kennedy family does not qualify you for public service. Yet many Camelot-besotted Democrats remain stubbornly immune to this conclusion."

βAmerican Indianβ is not an offensive term and the weirdos who searched through my tens of thousands of posts to try and find something they could use to label me a racist are not acting in good faith. The game of trying to set up rhetorical tripwires to attack people you hate is incredibly toxic.
It's very funny how this happened www.thebulwark.com/p/james-come...
"Fortify War unit" is one of his steps. I don't even know what this means. Is it referring to a team of reporters in warzones or just what he calls the sales department?
Ah, the solution for WaPo is to just buy several other media outlets (?) and make it like Axios, which has also not avoided layoffs under Jim's leadership.
The most common error Hollywood makes is having politicians be named βJohn Smithβ or something. In reality they all have names like Gus Bilirakis, Denver Riggleman, Dutch Ruppersberger, Dave Loebsack, or John Boehner.
The House loses another all-time House Guyβ’οΈ name. Up there with Markwayne Mullin, Newt Gingrich, and Dick Swett.

Susan Collins gets special treatment from Trump because she's so endangered in the Senate. www.thebulwark.com/p/susan-coll...
A fresco of an angel now looks like Giorgia Meloni after its restoration, causing a major uproar.
You simply cannot fathom the hilariousness of the scandals that regularly occur in Italy. Greatest country on earth. www.lastampa.it/politica/202...
I would love to know what kind of vintage, sherling lined leather bomber jacket the pilot is presumably wearing in these temps
His name almost never came up on Capitol Hill before June 2015
The city cleared Constitution Ave across from the Senate. They did this by creating a 10ft mound of snow in the middle of the crosswalk.
This isn't me saying 'nothing matters.' It's that any way you seek to stop this madness will not be accomplished by convincing a Republican senator to abandon their leader. That ship has sailed.
I get bored with these constant pleas from Dems for their colleagues to follow their conscience. We're on year 10 of this. They've seen the few Rs who have stood up and watched their careers go down in flames, living under constant death threats. It's just not happening.
