These newsletters are becoming evergreen (no offense Bill and Andrew, the news is perverse).
Republicans lie about everything.
The media titters about it. So clever!
The polls compare lies to truth, and lies win, surprising nobody.
Chaos in the Middle East.
Trump puts his diaper on his head and says, "Putin Daddy." The media titters. He's so funny!
It's probably good the Bulwark doesn't cover tech news. I'd have to add the evergreen line of "Google search no longer works but Google denies that." And then something about Elon Musk putting his diaper on his head.
Kate, these newsletters are exactly the same every morning. We cover like the same 4 topics: Ukraine, political horse race, Israel, some random Republican comment.
In fairness, Charlie had pretty much the same thing going on during his tenure here. But he was/is a skillful enough writer to make it so interesting to read about on an ongoing basis, and with an inherent sense of humor that made you look forward to how he would dissect it all anew. That's not to say that the current hosts are bad writers or lesser thinkers. Charlie just had a way with words that made it all a bit more palatable to digest on a regular basis.
Neither here nor there relative to The Bulwark, but I've always felt like the two people I'd most like to hear and read commenting in real time on the issues of our era are George Carlin and John Lennon. If only ...
This is what I miss about Charlie. Beyond DC news (which honestly changes little, it's the predictable spin from the usual suspects on events of the day) we were getting more local reporting.
We know what the spin is going to be, because spin is the most basic political product. And I had multiple push notifications that the polls still suck when I woke up this morning.
We need more from the trenches and less from the noise factory.

I want to hear from Bill Kristol once a week. He has about three topics he can write about, and I've heard it more than a time or two.
His favorite is trashing Biden. I signed up for Charlie Sykes & got fan boy of Sarah Palin, Bill Kristol 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
😟😟😟 ☹️☹️☹️
Absolutely. Ukraine, Israel, political polling

It has to be a challenge writing intelligently about people acting like The Stupids.
I don't think it's an act.
