Ready for an October surprise that won’t send you spiraling?
For a limited time, get 30 percent off Bulwark+ for the next year. The 2026 midterm elections are only a few weeks away. If the last decade of Trump’s GOP has taught us anything, we can be sure that it’s going to be messy. There will be lies. There will be outrage. There will be plenty of people telling you what you want to hear—or saying whatever will make you angriest.
But a Bulwark+ membership supports a different kind of discourse, borne of independent journalism that isn’t beholden to billionaires or MAGA freaks.
We answer to you.
At The Bulwark, we tell you the truth. We say what we actually think. And we try to have a little fun along the way, too.
With a Bulwark+ subscription, you’ll get behind the paywall access to members-only newsletters and ad-free shows that keep you grounded even when the world feels upside down—including Sarah Longwell’s new Focus Group newsletter, Catherine Rampell’s Receipts, JVL’s Triad, and our members-only Secret Pod.
The truth is that politics is exhausting and infuriating, but it’s also critical to understanding where our country is headed. That doesn’t mean you have to comb through the bullshit by yourself. Join a community that cares about democracy—and isn’t afraid to call out the Bad Guys trying to tear it down.
We can’t promise a quiet October. But we can offer a better way through it. Together.
Join Bulwark+ before October 18 and you’ll be invited into the room for Bulwark LIVE: Charlotte featuring Sarah, Tim, Sam, and JVL. We’re live streaming this event featuring special guest and everyone’s favorites mayor, Pete Buttigieg. Only Bulwark+ members will be able to tune in live from the comfort of their living rooms or watch on-demand, when you want. The members-only live chat will be open during the livestream so you can interact with Bulwark+ community online. Let’s be together for evening of politics among friends!
