After a week of maniacally running The Dispatch in Steve’s absence—firing employees at will, publishing screeds against pickled herring, etc.—Jonah Goldberg takes up his usual post to ruminate about Pam Bondi, Trump’s speech on the Iran war, his old grievances on Cuba and the Times, the recent Meta case, receipts on John Rawls from last week’s Ruminant, Hannah Arendt on truth in politics, Plato and the divine, and the future of the podcast. Plus, stick around for Jonah’s spicy take on birthright citizenship.
