Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate The Bulwark community. They single-handedly (many-handedly?) made my book *How to Eat an Elephant: One Voter at a Time* a best-seller before it’s even hit shelves. I might have to let @jvl.bsky.social moderate a focus group…

🚨🚨🚨A Very Special Note from JVL🚨🚨🚨 I’ve got a secret. And it’s not a podcast. 😉

My book "How to Eat an Elephant" hits shelves Sept. 8 but it's available for pre-order starting today.

US war planners believed they could prevent Iran from militarily closing the Strait of Hormuz.

But Iran understood that the insurance industry could close it for them. And this reality seems to have caught US leadership totally flat-footed. www.thebulwark.com/p/what-if-th...
