Republicans are rejecting reality while embracing destruction—just look at the House budget megabill. Read the latest from Jill Lawrence thebulwark.com/p/republican-p…
Democratic reaction to an impeachment essay I wrote at 100 days ranged from “there’s no point, it did nothing last time” to “do it right now, what is wrong with you people?” Here are my answers to The Editorial Board's hard questions about this dilemma. editorialboard.com/the-key-to-imp…
Bravo David Jolly. Bravo Jill Lawrence thebulwark.com/p/david-jolly-…
An uplifting, reality-based campaign for governor? Could it work? In Florida? Keep an eye on David Jolly. He's only been a Dem since last month, but his approach seems promising for Democrats all over. I interviewed him for The Bulwark. Details here ⬇️ thebulwark.com/p/david-jolly-…
Florida Dems aren't hopeful about their own prospects, but the larger environment could be read as favorable for David Jolly - at least, as favorable as it gets in Florida. Jill Lawrence on the man who might come after DeSantis: thebulwark.com/p/david-jolly-…
Once upon a time, the flip-flopper charge could ruin a politician. Not Trump. Some of the constant reversals are correctives, but his reckless regime has already done deep, permanent damage to the country and individual lives. My lates at The Bulwark thebulwark.com/p/trump-endles…
"It would be too exhausting to create souvenir flip-flops for every Trump flip-flop—and you’d need an entire museum to house them all." Remember the good old days when one flip-flop sunk John Kerry? New from Jill Lawrence: thebulwark.com/p/trump-endles…
Transcript and video of Governor Gavin Newsom's short, powerful speech on Trump, California, and US democracy. As I said last night, he met the moment and then some. gov.ca.gov/2025/06/10/gov…
Worst thing about Trump's parade? "From just a few choreographed minutes of patriotic theater, analysts can extract volumes of insight into an adversary’s force structure, technical maturity, logistical capacity, and command dynamics." @steadystatevets open.substack.com/pub/steadystat…
With the flag-hugging and military parading, Trump probably thinks of himself as a patriotic billionaire. But imagine, if you would, a different kind of wealthy role model for our nation’s youth—and its grownups, for that matter. New from Jill Lawrence: thebulwark.com/p/the-patrioti…
In his war on diversity and in what can only be called his racism, Trump and his administration are getting out over their skis. America really is better than that. ICYMI Jill Lawrence: thebulwark.com/p/virginia-can…
"Every single 'distraction' these days is a main event. What are you going to minimize? Fight it all. Fight it by following the facts, the golden rule, and America’s North Star values." New from Jill Lawrence: thebulwark.com/p/transgender-…
Impt from Bill Sternberg: Trump's "achievement" represents "historic disinvestment and retreat" on energy and "will have enormous consequences for climate finance and efforts to combat global warming."
