Jamie, thanks for joining me on the podcast. Thanks for having me, Sam. So i if memory serves, I I wrote you a uh A fairly plaintive email not that long ago. just more or less crying out to the universe uh who is going to write an article that reveals uh just how awful the DSA is and how um

this emerging suicide pact of uh embracture from the Democratic Party is just completely dysfunctional and yet it it seems to be uh In the making. And you have written that article uh over at the Atlantic where you now are. It used to be at the New York Times. I I th I think we want to talk about how you have made that well how and why you made this transition. But over the Atlantic people can read your article, which uh is currently titled The DSA Is a Parasite. The left wing faction is hijacking the Democratic Party.
