I recommend this interview with @jamellebouie.net discussing historian Matthew Pinsker's new book Boss Lincoln, about Lincoln as a savvy, hard-nosed partisan politician. Apparently @aoc.bsky.social is reading it too! All the cool kids study 19th-century US politics. 🗃 c-ville.com/jamelle-boui...

Some historians are wary of discussing their work in light of modern events, comparing subjects to current political players. Not Matthew Pinsker of Dickinson College, the author of both a major new book, Boss Lincoln: The Partisan Life of Abraham Lincoln, and the Substack What Would Lincoln Do?. “I’m not running away from it, that’s for sure,” Pinsker said from Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

House renames press gallery after Frederick Douglass in bipartisan recognition of Black history

The press gallery overlooking the U.S. House chamber has been renamed after the prominent abolitionist Frederick Douglass.
