The Bulwark may be the single best reason to be on Substack.
Tommy writes like a dream but that's only my second favorite thing about his Substack. My first is his weekly reading list. He has eclectic tastes and an enormous reading capacity. Every week, his list contains a gem or two that seem written for me -- and that I would have otherwise overlooked.
A former AP editor in the Mideast, London, and Europe, Dan is a unique and compelling thinker on geopolitics, economy, and society. He's a good friend and a must-read.
In a lot of ways, Chris is an early adapter to fast-take journalism, newsletter journalism, and independent political journalism. He tells me shit I need to know. Also, as a former competitor and neighbor of his, I can say he's just a good man.
Gene makes me laugh. I need a laugh more. He makes me think. I need to think more.

I've known John since the early aughts, and have drawn on his study of young voters again and again and again. Nobody understands young voters -- and through them, the future of politics -- better than my friend John.
Pamela's posts are pallet cleansers. She bring me joy and perspective with every click.
Phoebe is a gifted storyteller who could put a human face on a 20th century telephone book and make the pages pop
