Kash Patel Isn't Bad at His Job. He's Doing Exactly What He Was Hired to Do. Lowered standards, scuttled alliances, and looking the other way: inside the law enforcement doctrine of Trump II. Edwin Eisendrath Sep 26 Edwin Eisendrath is the former CEO of the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Alderman who hosts It's The Democracy Stupid on Lincoln Square and a weekly radio show on WCPT820AM/ Heartland Signal  Subscribe to his Substack Kash Patel had a week. In Senate hearings, he had to admit to lowering the recruitment and hiring standards for the FBI. One of those standards? Bestiality. He dropped the prohibition on hiring candidates who committed bestiality. Now, frankly, I’m not sure if I care that someone wants to have sex with an animal. But Patel’s...

Rick Wilson Sep 13 ∙ Preview   There are two Republican Parties right now, and only one of them is telling the truth. The first is Mike Johnson’s Republican Party. Johnson is traveling the country insisting that Republicans won’t just keep their hold on the House in November; they will, in fact, increase their majority. He is “absolutely convinced” they will defy history. Sure, Mike. He says this with the confidence of a man insisting he’s fine while the paramedics drag him from the wreck with massive chest trauma and load him into the ambulance. The other Republican Party is in the West Wing. It is lawyering up, and despite its public contempt for the ...

Honorless Men Max Miller, John Cornyn, and Thom Tillis symbolize the rot in the Republican Party. Rick Wilson Aug 9 ∙ Preview   Honor is out of fashion in this age of decline. The simple definition—the one that has any meaning in real political practice—is in fact much more difficult. Honor is doing the right thing when it costs you. A vote which involves no cost is not true courage, and a statement of concern with no risk involved is not actually a stand; the only test that has ever been important in this field is what a man does when acting rightly has a price attached, when that price is real, and he pays it anyway.

  The Lincoln Project 1.61M subscribers Jul 21, 2026 #JoshTurek #MannyRutinel #Iowa While Washington burns, there are people out there actually doing the unglamorous work of winning elections — and this week Rick Wilson brings you two of them. First up: Josh Turek, running for Senate in Iowa, where tariffs have gutted family farms, rural hospitals keep going dark, and corporate consolidation has squeezed working families until there's nothing left. Turek's pitch is what he calls a "prairie populist" agenda — lower costs, real support for family farms, healthcare people can actually reach, and a hard shove back against the corporate money that's been running the table. It's the kind of message that used to win the Midwest, and might again. Then Rick heads to Colorado for Manny Rutinel, currently in the state House and gunning for CO-8 — one of the most competitive districts in the entire country and the most Latino district in the state. The incumbent...
