I’m a lot to deal with. I write about foreign policy and other things I care less about. You can find my old work at muckrack dot com. ‘Around the Map” is the name of the podcast that I co-host twice a week.

this ain’t england, larry might have a perp walk if he doesn’t recuse himself from his mortal coil first.
"Larry Summers recuses himself from public life. The Prince formerly known as Andrew loses palaces and has names removed from plaques".
Okay?? And??? The fuck kind of 'repercussions' are those? That's fucking nothing. Those aren't real punishments, those are just some privileges taken away.

no one wanted the job. durbin announced his retirement after his election.
Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin were unanimously reelected to Senate leadership this year
Hey just a reminder that it only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove and replace Chuck Schumer as minority leader. They don't do it because the majority of Senate Democrats approve of the way he does politics.
