Our Best Stuff From the Week We Passed the 100-Day Mark

1 week ago | thedispatch.com | Rachael Larimore

Hello and happy Saturday! On Wednesday, we marked the 100th day since my beloved Ohio State Buckeyes won the College Football Playoff championship, beating Notre Dame 34-23. For some people, however, that was not the biggest news to come out of January 20, 2025.
Our Best Stuff From a Bad Week for Pete Hegseth

2 weeks ago | thedispatch.com | Rachael Larimore

Hello and happy Saturday. It’s been a big week in the Ohio bureau. We had “senior night” for our son’s high school baseball team on Monday, and he turned in a (nearly) complete game one-hitter. I managed not to cry when the coach came out with one out left in the last inning and sent the five seniors off together. Last night, our oldest son shared some very happy news: He popped the question to his girlfriend, and she said yes! All of which is to say: We had a much better week than Pete Hegseth.

Our Best Stuff From a Week of Market Volatility

1 month ago | thedispatch.com | Rachael Larimore

Hello and happy Saturday. To give you a peek behind the curtain, things got a little dicey around here Wednesday. Scott Lincicome had written a concise history of President Donald Trump’s longstanding affection for tariffs for his Capitolism newsletter. Given that Trump’s sweeping global tariffs had just been implemented that morning, Scott described them in the present tense.
Our Best Stuff From the Week the Trade War Started

Hello and happy Saturday. I hope you’re enjoying better weather than we’re having in the Ohio bureau and that you’ve avoided checking the status of your retirement accounts. Back in February, Jonah Goldberg wrote that he was grateful for the stock mark because, while President Donald Trump could bully lawmakers and business leaders and journalists, “the markets are the exception.” The markets have weighed in on Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, and the reviews are … not good.
Our Best Stuff From the Week We All Entered the Group Chat

1 month ago | thedispatch.com | Rachael Larimore |Jonah Goldberg |David Drucker |Michael Warren

Hello and happy Saturday. We spend a fair amount of time here at The Dispatch thinking about headlines. After all, everything we publish needs one. You want to inform the readers, but also invite them to keep reading. Some pieces benefit from playing it straight, others provide the opportunity for wordplay.
A Confessing Church for America’s Weimar Moment

1 month ago | thedispatch.com | Michael Reneau |Paul Miller |Rachael Larimore |Jonah Goldberg

Religion Plus: A century of Flannery O’Connor. By and Published March 23, 2025 Happy Sunday. One of the recurring themes around The Dispatch is that in any debate (politics, culture, religion, economics), the most extreme voices are often wrong. Perhaps they’re wrong honestly, but often because they’re being duplicitous. And throwing our lot in with a particular faction solely out of fear of the other side usually ends badly.

Our Best Stuff on Funding Cuts in Higher Education

1 month ago | thedispatch.com | Rachael Larimore |Kevin Williamson |David Drucker |Peter Gattuso

Hello and happy Saturday. The Ohio bureau was closed on Thursday and Friday this week so that I could indulge in a little March Madness. Wings were eaten, brackets were busted, and I’d never been more grateful for the feature on YouTubeTV that lets you watch four games at once. But my playing hooky doesn’t mean the news stopped.
Our Best Stuff From the Week of Trump’s Address to Congress

2 months ago | thedispatch.com | Rachael Larimore |John Gustavsson |Michael Warren |Charlotte Lawson

Hello and happy Saturday. The Ohio bureau marked an anniversary of sorts this winter, and it has me reflecting. Back in 2005, the publication I was working for changed owners. The new bosses didn’t need an office in the Seattle area, and gave those of us who worked there the option to work from home. I asked if they cared where “home” was. They didn’t.
