Happy pub day to @axiosalex. This book is filled with wild anecdotes and insights. A fast thrilling read on how we got (back) here.
I spent two years reporting “Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power,” and today it’s finally on shelves. I’m excited for people to read it a.co/d/8W4erOG
Putting the substance of these nominations to the side, the 4-6pm daily newsdrop really catapults you right back to 2016-20 in the most unpleasant way. What's wrong with a 9am/10am announcement.
Why do we have elections in winter? Would be nice to go for a sunny warm walk after a long stretch of doomscrolling
Signs the American commentariat has learned nothing: - thinking he's moderated and then being shocked by coo-coo nominations - thinking he's joking about that third term
Pete Hegseth 5 days ago: "I'm straight up just saying we should not have women in combat roles."
One of the best stories I've read this year, months later still talk about it all the time
Earlier this year I wrote about Germany's disturbing relationship with Jews for @thebafflermag. In light of the "Antisemitismus Resolution" passed last week, it seems I can now be labeled an antisemite by the country that murdered most of my family. thebaffler.com/latest/how-ger…
The Russian Duma today banned "child-free propaganda," instituting fines and, for foreigners, fines and deportation. A MAGA wet dream.
Wrote for @discourse_blog about the Dem insiders inventing a fake super-woke campaign to get mad at rather than admitting that Harris ran the center-right campaign of their dreams and got crushed discourseblog.com/p/what-electio…
My TikTok is all blue bracelets, Twitter is all Joe Rogan — I truly hope everyone (including myself) logs off all weekend. Time to toucheth some grass.
Men gaming this election result to get even MORE attention in a world built by and for them — almost impressive
First in what I expect will be a many-part series of talking to Dems about what happened. Here's John Fetterman on why he went on Rogan and Dems have a problem w men semafor.com/article/11/08/…
The world is changing in quick and disorienting ways, Republicans won bc they promised a return to past and Democrats lost bc they provided no vision for the future. If one more man says Kamala should've worked harder to win over Joe Rogan I will stab myself in the eyes.
