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.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Biden fought tooth and nail to get literally *trillions* of dollars of improvements to infrastructure for all 50 states, was kicked in the teeth and derided by the GOP for it.
Then, those same GOP members put their names all over the construction signs that went up.
This is how they pay it back.

This is functionally a robbery of New York City and New York State taxpayers, who contribute billions more to the federal government annually than we get back.

NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.
