I've had a month to reflect on my decision to leave my career as an operative inside the Republican Party. Looking back, I have never been more at peace with my decision and am thrilled at the opportunity to join the fight to rebuild our democratic institutions. open.substack.com/pub/milesbrn...
I left the GOP 1 month ago. A lot has changed.
Tomorrow it will have been one month since I went public with my decision in The Bulwark to leave the GOP and an entire career as a professional operative over the party’s descent into authoritarianis

I don't revel in this in the slightest. When I published my article announcing my decision to leave the GOP, I got a few threats on social media, and that was scary enough. I can't fathom what it's like to get a deluge of likely way more credible threats.
I don’t want anyone to receive threats, but for many years Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has enjoyed this sort of energy from President Trump when it’s been directed at her political enemies and now objects to it when she’s on the receiving end.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the GOP isn’t having a reckoning over illiberalism in its ranks. open.substack.com/pub/milesbrn...
No, the GOP isn’t having a reckoning over illiberalism in its ranks

Take it from someone who served as a consultant for Winsome Sears. She CAN NOT become Virginia's next Governor. That's why I was proud to cast my ballot for Virginia's next governor for @abigailspanberger.com

According to Polymarket ads on Facebook, Cuomo’s chances of winning skyrocket when they go up by 2.3%… Beginning to think they’re not totally on the level.

I wrote countless fundraising emails decrying the destruction of confederate statues back in 2020. Many of those Republicans are now radio silent over the destruction of the White House East Wing. Cowards.
