Listen, there’s no better, more important, or riveting book than The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson, to read it is to understand America, I re-read it every year
Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

Ben Shapiro: “When the president said deport all the illegal immigrants, I never thought that he meant that literally”

Chopping up a journalist is what he means by “things happen”
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

This is bad writing on the level of maybe a 13 year old
It needs to be emphasized that this paragraph is about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Get bent with this
Bill Clinton’s endorsement of former governor Andrew Cuomo, coupled with Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer’s refusal to support Zohran Mamdani, the successful Muslim democratic socialist in the New York City mayoral race, reveals everything we need to know about today’s Democratic Party.

Once again, the media loves Trump and wants him to succeed
It is interesting to me how the media seems far less interested in Trump's Murder Memo than you'd expect. Only a few reporters seem to be even trying to get a hold of it, and very few commentators are talking about it. Contrast that with Bush's torture memo, which was a national obsession. Weird.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!
