SO MANY people read drafts of chapters & even the whole manuscript for me. Thanks especially @gauthamrao.bsky.social, whose reader comments transformed many parts of the book. And to @jgienapp.bsky.social & @jdmortenson.bsky.social who read more drafts than they surely bargained for. 3/

I could not have done it without my editor, @simpsonvos.bsky.social, who believed in this book from its earliest days & who managed many anxious phone calls in the homestretch. Thanks, too, to the incredible team at @uncpress.bsky.social especially the best in the biz, @sonyabonczek.bsky.social! 2/

The Political Supreme Court

Today’s Supreme Court justices bristle at the label “politicians in robes,” insisting that they operate above the fray of partisan politics. But for th...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Trump's support of Ramaswamy's ad is spiritual, not political.

My favorite match and will never be surpassed. The funniest part was bringing on Sadio at 5-0 in the second half. Have some of that

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

Musk does this, republicans are openly bribing people b/c Burgher & the boys were (wink wink) worried about corruption & John Roberts' crew are (wink wink) free speech absolutists. Anticorruption veneer enabling corrupt practices. And why do unelected judges get to determine democratic processes?

BREAKING: MIAMI (AP) - Federal judge orders Trump to sit for a deposition in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC by Dec. 11.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.
