Today's the day: The pub date of my new (first) novel! Killing Baby Hitler. Two scientists from 2141 go back in time to 1889 Austria to do in history's greatest monster, and, well, hijinx ensue. @kurtandersen.bsky.social sez "fabulous in every sense." Order it here!: orbooks.com/catalog/kill...
From @perrybaconjr.bsky.social:
"The political party that’s supposed to stop fascism in America is so disorganized and divided that it struggled to secure victory in a state where a clear majority of voters are left-leaning." trib.al/6SGBV6M
From @gregsargent.bsky.social:
"Spanberger’s overwhelming victory, the shrinking of MAGA clout in Virginia, and the rearguard resistance to enforcing her gun control law in deep red areas—amounting to a MAGA nullification movement of sorts—neatly capture all these deep tensions." trib.al/GLg2D8H
From @perrybaconjr.bsky.social:
"60 Minutes as we know it is gone, that it should no longer be accorded respect or credibility as in the past. Weiss has taken it over. 60 Minutes’ values now aren’t those of traditional journalists, but those of Weiss and the Ellison family." trib.al/dr2fkcO

It all can be traced back to that week in April 2017, when The New York Times decided it had to be broad-minded in the wake of the election of the most narrow-minded man to occupy the White House since Andrew Johnson—or maybe ever. trib.al/P537EHi
Maine voters need to be reminded, to the tune of about $40 million worth of TV commercials, of Collins’s support for putting Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court. trib.al/FPFfQR1
The firing of Scott Pelley will reverberate in American journalism history as a symbolic execution of the single most groundbreaking and successful news program in the annals of U.S. broadcast television. trib.al/E4syodM
She was placed at CBS by Ellison to crush the left and advance Donald Trump’s agenda, so it’s no surprise that that is precisely what she’s doing. And no matter her level of incompetence, she’ll stay there as long as she’s doing that. trib.al/Oaf5YJ4
With two-thirds of the country now disapproving of Trump, I’d say there are many millions of real Americans in the anti-Trump camp. About 25 percent of American adults self-identify as part of the MAGA movement. That’s a small minority. trib.al/AqzIZ25
From the editor of The New Republic, a side-splitting, super-smart story of an odyssey from the future to the past aimed at forestalling global calamity in a single stroke.
Governor Spanberger signed an assault weapons ban. Some county prosecutors in pro-Trump areas say they won’t enforce it. Is a new MAGA nullification movement brewing?
I don’t know what to believe about Graham Platner’s past. But I know this. He hasn’t spent the last 40 years transferring trillions of dollars from working people to the very rich.

She was at The Wall Street Journal and should have spent her career there. But the Times decided she was … interesting. Why do liberals do this?
