Content
By Brian Beutler, Rick Perlstein| Off Message@ Sincerest apologies to anyone who missed my earlier, equally sincere apologies. When I published last week’s mailbag, I somehow clicked on (or Substack somehow defaulted me to) the setting that closes comments, so for almost an hour after the piece ran, comments were locked. Bad way to introduce a new feature that depends on comments! Fortunately (?) I’ll be neurotic to a fault going forward about making sure the correct box is checked, and hopefully that’ll allow more of you to ask questions.
By Rick Perlstein| The American Prospect Verified Unlike many news organizations, the Prospect has remained staunchly committed to keeping our journalism free and accessible to all. We believe that independent journalism is crucial for a functioning democracy—but quality reporting comes at a cost. From Trump’s threat to the free press to Musk’s influence on our democracy, there is too much at stake in 2025 to stop now.
By Rick Perlstein| The American Prospect Verified In December of 2019, as House Democrats were drawing up articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, I was again introduced to the viewers of Fareed Zakaria GPS on CNN: “This is a historic moment. So how do historians look at it? I’ll talk to Doris Kearns Goodwin, Rick Perlstein, and David Rubenstein …”One of these things is not like the other. Prospect readers know David Rubenstein is not a historian, but the billionaire founder of the Carlyle Group, a private equity firm.
