I’m just a guy. I’m not a political operative trying to influence The Discourse. I write about what’s interesting *to me*. Not all the news that's fit to print.

IMO Dems' strategic shortfalls are high impact and help explain *why* they're not in power. And I have a lot to say about them because political strategy is one of my beats. You’ll find extremely critical coverage of Trump when it’s on one of my beats (say, on tariffs).

Sometimes what I write about corresponds to what’s objectively important. Sometimes it’s the NFL or airports. I strive to maintain a high standard of thoughtfulness and rigor in the newsletter, whatever the subject (please subscribe). But Twitter is for shitposting.
