Great news everyone, Chris Matthews is back in our lives. /s

No really, he's launching a Substack which every journalist who's no longer employed by the MSM is doing. So if you really want those Tip O'Neill stories you know where to go.

But for the rest of us you can take your business to the following Substacks: The Downballot, The Bulwark, Jim Acosta, Charlie Sykes, Tara Palmeri and others more relevant than Matthews. And there's MeidasTouch if you want constant Dem cheerleading without apology.

Downballot, TPM (Josh Marshall), and Bulwark (esp. The JVL) are about all the news that I can stand right now.

That's my "circle of trust" anyway. RIP, Kevin Drum.

JVL is great. I really like Will Sommer and Jonathan Cohn's stuff they're doing for The Bulwark.

Especially the science/research focus from Cohn. Very, very important.

Sommet about Lauren Egan gets on my nerves, though.

I highly recommend Heather Cox Richardson’s "Letters From an American". Josh Marshall is great.

I also recommend Democracy Watch,

Marc Elias's show, and Talking Feds, although now part of Meidas Touch, is levelheaded and not extreme at all. I was writing a longer comment about why though I watch Meidas Touch,

I'll never subscribe to it, but when I navigated away from the Substack app to check something on my Opera browser, my draft disappeared. Very disappointing. Maybe I'll type something later on my computer.
