🚨OVERTIME🚨
Greetings from the Queen City and Happy Thursday! The boss is in town to give the 1835 Lecture at the great Mercantile Library, so I’m working from an historic art-deco train station, one of America’s last great ones. It’s also the city’s museum center, so while “The Merc” undergoes renovations, the lecture is here instead. Bill reports that Graeter's Black Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is excellent, and indeed, Graeter’s ice cream, no matter the flavor, is! We Ohioans are very proud of our #brands. We might even move the whole operation here, if Bill (and I) get our way.
Soup’s On… When TWS closed, one of our final issue’s fine essays was Alice B. Lloyd’s “Last Lines.” Locally, Brandon Wuske was Cincinnati Magazine’s food critic. At 40, he was newly engaged, his fiancee had just secured a visa to come to the U.S. A beloved local librarian, he got a nasty surprise: a stomach cancer diagnosis. A few months later, he died. His last column on chicken noodle soup, and why he never appreciated it until, well, just read the whole thing. I don’t want to spoil it for you. The $10 Million J6er… We’re learning that RFK’s dumpster fire candidacy paid $10 million to a consultant inside the restricted area on January 6. Nice work if you can get it. (The Intercept) Yesterday’s 9/11 anniversary offers a stark reminder… about Trump’s fitness for office (Anthony Fischer, MSNBC) On Conversations with Bill Kristol… please welcome, the co-host of CNN's Crossfire, famed political consultant, the raging Cajun, Mr. James Carville. Trump’s Slow-Burn Authoritarianism… “You’ve read about the scary horrors of a Trump second term. But a legal war of attrition that harasses MAGA’s enemies and transforms government info into propaganda could prove more insidious and harder to mobilize against.” Greg Sargent, The New Republic. All Over But The Whining? Matt Labash writes: “Trump loses a debate, and is already constantly complaining.” A Christian Case… Against Donald Trump. A book by Bulwark+ member Patrick Kahnke that’s worth checking out. Patrick is “a writer and podcaster at Culture, Faith, and Politics. He was an evangelical pastor for 20 years. He was active in the pro-life movement and a life-long Republican until Donald Trump.” Tech support questions? Email members@thebulwark.com. Questions for me?
