Today’s Special Election: Any prediction I make would be based solely on the perceptions of others. Other than making a modest contribution, I’ve not been involved in the race at all.

An Open Letter To Sarah McBride
Guest Post By Jason330: Sarah, I just finished reading your latest newsletter, and I hope you’ll take this message in the spirit of urgency and shared concern with which it’s written.

Trump Hates The Jobs Numbers, Fires The Statistician.

‘Sen. Bipartisanship’ At It Again

‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: July 2025
Can’t over-hype this month. It over-hypes itself. No better way to kick it off: Don’t know exactly what Dev Hynes does.
