Screenshot of an excerpt from a Max Tani article for Semafor dated 5 October 2025. TEXT: A high-profile columnist who left The Washington Post amid the paper’s ongoing editorial upheaval is joining a growing anti-Trump digital news startup. Former Washington Post opinion columnist Catherine Rampell is joining The Bulwark, where she will write a weekly economics and policy-focused newsletter while contributing to the company’s podcasts and YouTube channels. In a telephone interview on Friday, Rampell said that although she had spent her career at traditional media institutions like The New York Times and the Post, she was encouraged by The Bulwark’s growth and felt committed to its editorial mission, which emphasizes supporting America’s democratic principles and institutions. “It’s very mission-oriented as an institution, and within that mission, there’s obviously room for a lot of other views,” Rampell said. “All of those things were appealing, and it’s a pretty kickass group of people.” “The Bulwark is a written, video, and audio product. And as we grow, we are looking for people who can excel across all those mediums,” CEO Sarah Longwell said in a statement. “Catherine is not just one of those people — she’s one of the best of those people. She also brings a unique expertise in economics and a mission aligned worldview. We’re beyond thrilled she’s decided to join us.”

My colleagues and I are SUPER excited about this: The amazing @crampell.bsky.social is joining our team at The Bulwark.

@adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social on Bad Bunny: "His existence is resistance, just speaking in Spanish at the Super Bowl. We probably should expect some smart commentary and criticism. It's going to be powerful."

Bad Bunny's critics "didn’t seem to have concerns when other performers born outside the U.S.—U2, Rihanna, the Rolling Stones, Shakira—got the Super Bowl honor. But the MAGA acolytes are right to be worried about one thing."

"The politics might work for both sides. I could see Trump speaking up...saying it was some despicable performance. But I think this is going to be one of the most high profile protests of Trump's administration so far." @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social on the Bad Bunny halftime show:

The “Moral Monsters” Among Us Immigrants are dying now. Will people of good conscience speak up?

"Immigrants have suffered particularly since Trump returned to the White House, but they are not the only group to have been openly abused. We’ve also seen protesters, Democrats, and journalists attacked, violently assaulted or shot at."

I don't think the people expressing surprise about things the Trump administration is doing understand how absolutely fucking crazymaking each of your posts is for Black and Indigenous folks who called *all of this* and sat through people talking about "respecting norms" for years

Even a passing knowledge of Black history will make clear that not only was this level of destruction possible, it was inevitable. “Did you know they’d shut down US AID?” I mean these are the same people who closed all public schools in a county rather than desegregate. Yes. Yes I did.

We need far more journalists like @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social that look at so many swaths of America that the mainstream completely misses.

"By no means are Democrats going to go back to the immigration stuff they used to support. And in that way, Trump has perhaps enabled them to be able to pick and choose a little bit."

@adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social discuss Democrats and immigration going forward:

Not exactly surprising, but many Latinos who voted for Trump are having second thoughts. ICYMI @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/exclusive-...

Voters *do* want a strong, orderly border. But they don't want it at any cost - nor do they see Trump's mass deportation campaign as an inherent part of securing the border.

More terrific reporting from Carrasquillo.

Exclusive Focus Group: Trump Bleeding Latino Voters He won the presidency with their support—now they’re angrily turning against him.

In a Sept. 10 focus group of Latino Trump voters, "Every single one of the seven participants said they regretted voting for Trump."

"They were angry over the state of the economy and frustrated by Trump’s handling of immigration and deportations."

@adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social has the story.

"Asked to give the president a letter grade, six gave him Ds and one gave an F. Asked later about her grade, one participant who gave a D said she was just trying to be nice." Latinos are souring on Trump.

"The National Guard hasn’t been dispatched. But the federal government’s presence is very much felt here, like a chill from the lake. Much of it has settled over immigrant communities." From Chicago, the latest edition of Huddled Masses from @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social:
