These are, uh, not mutually exclusive www.vanityfair.com/story/jd-van...

Ever since, Vance has been pilloried as a cynical political opportunist. “I don’t think JD Vance believes in anything,” says Stuart Stevens, who ran Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign. “I think he would be a Trotskyite if that would advance him.” But what does Vance’s mentor Chua think of his 180-degree transformation? “I have a very different view of JD,” she says. “I do not think he changed at all. I think he’s exactly the same guy.”

Good, bleak stuff from @dbernstein.bsky.social goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/the-game-i...

Once upon a time, I thought that the growth in legal sports gambling might be stymied by inevitable revelations of rigging. Those revelations have come, in sufficient volume to strongly suggest that the practice is extensive. (When you realize how inept the known participants had to be to get caught, you have to believe that many more competent cheaters are escaping notice.) I should have known better, I suppose, than to think that would affect anything. It is the American way: if you know the horse races are fixed, you hope to get in on the inside info.

Something that jumps out at me in the Natalie Harp reporting is the extent to which many Trump aides see themselves as In On The Joke and unnerved by Harp because she seems to be totally earnest www.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/u... www.cnn.com/2026/08/18/p...
