Today’s @BulwarkOnline daily is a doozy. First @macnyc on the clownish retribution agenda, Bridgegate lessons, 2028 hot stove, and how she rejected me when i was in the closet.
Then the Trio on Candace as lez @samstein @willsommer. Buckle up.

See my piece at NyTimes arguing that military officers on the ground in Los Angeles are in an impossible bind. They may have to decide whether to disobey lawful but unethical orders, unethical in the sense that it violates their professional code.

An amazing speech! Thank you @jasongay, for visiting us in Madison.
On Saturday I polluted the minds of 8,679 college graduates. A real honor. Grateful to @UWMadison (and some behind the scenes advice from Badger legend @JJWatt)

“A year is a strange and terrible marker of time, simultaneously endless and instant,” writes @SarahAWildman. “A year of loss is a new form of permanence: This is the life we lead. It will not change.” Read: nyti.ms/49Idk3L

I promise you this: I will make sure that in no way do I enable Donald Trump to ever be President of the United States again. That’s more important than my own personal ambition.

I had a meeting with a member of the Republican Party, former Governor of New Jersey, Christopher Christie. And it is very important that Mr. Christie began his visit to Ukraine with a visit to Bucha to see with his own eyes the threat to freedom and to everyone in the world posed by Russian aggression.
I thanked all Americans, each and every one, for their vital support.
We are confident that we will end this Russian war against freedom with our victory – the victory of the free world, the victory of democracy, the victory of freedom.

“Efforts to protect children — or citizens, for that matter — from the terror of freedom, to cocoon their reading within safe boundaries of vocabulary and representation, will always fail.” @aoscott on America’s chronic anxiety about what it means to read. nyti.ms/3Pm1mFC

Chris Christie is like a Roman candle to DeSantis's scented votive. One explodes with color. The other barely flickers. My newsletter this week >>> nytimes.com/2023/06/21/opini…

RIP to an absolute legend. And he was totally cooking in his late 80s.
His two most recent books—THE PASSENGER and STELLA MARIS—are truly ingenious, utterly strange, and unbelievably emotional. They hit me more than any book I've read all year.

Hollywood today is like high school. The meatheads have been making the nerds write their history papers for them. And the nerds finally said enough.
