The *vibe* of the new publication is clearly “we are here to defend liberalism against its leftwing assailants.”
Launching that sort of publication in summer 2025 is, let’s just say, *A CHOICE*.
There is an evergreen market for that sort of writing. You will never go broke writing this stuff.

Criticizing Democrats from the left does not reinforce right wing arguments. (indeed, fwiw, it makes Democrats seem more moderate!)
Criticizing Democrats from the right reinforces MAGA criticism.

Just a few years ago the economics profession completely marginalized @claudia-sahm.bsky.social for speaking out on this matter.
Summers conferred with Epstein frequently about how to extract sexual favors from a Harvard econ grad (AB '04, PhD '09)
The grad is from China
Epstein and Summers referred to her by the codename "Peril"

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators
It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.
