THEODORE R. JOHNSON: From Dog Whistle to Rebel Yell.
🚨OVERTIME 🚨Happy Friday! The weekend is here! And it was so, so good to see so many of you last night at our first live event, which was a smashing success. I have lots of favorite stories, but my favorite it my first one. I’ve been to a lot of these sorts of events back at TWS. And the news-heavy demo tends to skew older. It just makes a lot of sense. But this was the first time we had a lot of our audience, not just locally, in a room. As I waited for a drink, a chatted with some folks my age and while I didn’t want to be seen as preening, I didn’t do the whole “thanks for coming” thing. And I was asked “what brought you here?” Well, work! But while a whole lot of work went into making last night a success, it sure didn’t feel like work. It was a blast. To put names with faces, talk about email exchanges we’ve had about everything from Capitol Hill, to baseball, to how you can avoid 270 by taking U.S. 522… The content last night was wonderful, but what really made it special was meeting all of you. So, from us, thank you. Based on last night’s success, I hope we’ll do another one of these events soon. It was also good to be back in the office again, to catch up with colleagues old and newish. One cool thing… Since the beginning of the pandemic, which snuffed out my favorite bar, I haven’t been back to Post Pub, where I spent a lot of time taking interns and sources and colleagues to lunch. I wrote about it for Washingtonian when it closed. The previous owners were kind enough to give us a booth when TWS was snuffed out, and the new owners moved it, and it helped make my day.
I don’t go into D.C. enough, but maybe, eventually, we can get a Bulwark booth! How are things going for Paul Ryan? Apparently not great. Whoopsie! The Ye takeover of Parler seems to be going apace, and hastily. Don’t mess with the special master. Be careful what you wish for, team Trump. Bannon to prison… But not just yet. Testimony time? We’ll see, the clock is ticking on Trump’s subpoena. That’s it for me. Tech support questions? Email members@thebulwark.com. Questions for me?
