The Politics of Epstein, Redistricting, & Jeans Ads A roundup of the most important stories from a slow week.

I’m back with a new video that offers analysis of the 3 stories that people ought to know about politically this week: the ongoing politics of Epstein, Texas redistricting and how it might trigger an all out war, and the stupid controversy over the Sydney Sweeney Jeans ad.

If the right offer is out there, the Phillies will move real top tier prospects, but to trade that for the wrong offer because you feel like you have too is something that dooms franchises.

I've been trying to convince scholars of this for so long. The James Patterson/Elin Hilderbrand model gives so much more momentum to a story and for a non-fiction book, it probably makes it more assignable too.

For paid subscribers, I dove into the many historical factors that explain how Republicans passed such an extreme bill with such narrow majorities. It’s a macro-level explainer of today’s environment in Congress and how we got here. brianrosenwald.substack.com/p/the-decade...

Sometimes It's Necessary to "Politicize" Tragedies Why it's important to talk about the policy roots of the Texas flood

My latest video takes a careful, nuanced look at the Texas floods, and dives into why we need to look at the policy mistakes that at the very least exacerbated the tragedy—and why we need to do it now and not wait.

My video today dives into what happened in the Senate over the weekend, what’s going on right now with the vote-r-rama, what it means for the bill overall. I also get into whether Thom Tillis’ retirement hurts Rs & why it’s too early to know what the SCOTUS ruling on injunctions means.

Trump Bombs Iran Analysis of the policy and political ramifications of a very risky move.

I wasn’t satisfied with any of the takes I’ve seen tonight on the military strike on the Iranian nuclear sites, so I tried to offer a nuanced assessment —the short take is anyone offering categorical analysis right now is making a mistake. The real important thing is what comes next.

My new video takes a look at the politics of the situation in LA, charges of media bias/the Terry Moran suspension and why it’s a very bad idea for ABC & the MSM, and then this new news about Democrats worrying about one of the Iowa Senate candidates because omg, he looked at porn as a college kid.

Elon vs. Donald, Joni Ernst's Foot in Mouth Moment, and the Keys to Winning Moving Forward An update on the political circus engulfing D.C.

My latest video covers Elon vs. Donald in real time—will it matter at all politically? I also look at Joni Ernst's foot in mouth moment, and dive into a bunch of below the radar stories from this week that give me a thesis on what it will take for both sides to win moving forward.

A Reassessment of the Filibuster Reforming the filibuster is a better idea than abolishing it.

Hot off the presses (or the computer camera), my latest takes a look at why the GOP’s megabill makes a case for reforming the filibuster instead of abolishing it. ($) Give it a watch. brianrosenwald.substack.com/p/a-reassess...
