Oh, they all used to be at The Weekly Standard. Bill Kristol never got on board with Trump, so they started to lose subscribers and eventually had to go out of business. Sarah Longwell had her own business , but teamed up with Kristol to start The Bulwark and hire the staff from The Weekly Standard. I think JVL was the digital editor for The Weekly Standard, if I’m not mistaken. They were all Republicans, but Never Trumpers. Now they’re Independents.
That's not quite right. The Weekly Standard did not fail. Rather, it was cannibalized by its new owner, which only bought TWS in order to acquire its subscriber list. Without advance notice, we TWS subscribers all found our subscriptions switched to the publisher's new magazine, The Washington Examiner. I'm glad I didn't renew my subscription early.
Thanks for the clarification. I had read that it was the severe drop off in subscribers that caused the collapse of TWS. It was the decision of the owner, but still based on the loss of subscribers. In any event, the staff all lost their jibs and were basically rescued by Sarah Longwell starting TB with Bill Kristol, for which we should all be grateful.
