Word Salad

About the Substack

The only place where you can read someone's political opinions on the internet. I used to write speeches and jokes for Obama, and now I write books and other things. Suggestions welcome, pet photos more so.

Free Subscription Benefits

  • I'm not putting protecting democracy behind a paywall. But if you can support this project, I'd be grateful.

Paid Subcription Benefits

  • You'll never have to pay to read about protecting democracy.
  • But if you're able to help me hire a full-time researcher and pay our contributors fairly
  • I'd certainly appreciate it. - David
