PoliticsCultureMedia Criticism

Political writer, blogger, and founder of The Weekly Dish newsletter on Substack, widely credited as one of the pioneers of political blogging in the early 2000s. Sullivan served as editor of The New Republic from 1991 to 1996 and later wrote The Daily Dish, one of the most-read political blogs of the pre-social-media era. A British-American Catholic and self-described conservative who supported both Barack Obama and same-sex marriage, Sullivan is known for heterodox, intellectually independent takes that defy easy partisan categorization. His Substack covers American politics, culture, philosophy, and current events with a long essayistic tradition.
