old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Thoughts?

Virtually every question today at the WH Press briefing was about the Hunter pardon, as if that is the thing the American people care about most right now. The DC press is so disconnected from the American public and serves them poorly more often than not.

The other day I was pitching our Gilded Age course to undergrads: “Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a nation where the wealthy had insane power and ordinary people were reoeatedly crushed by them until they lashed out in anger?”

You are going to be hearing a lot about this book.

Anyone who puts their faith in getting just 4 GOP Senators to put the best interests of the country ahead of the chance to avoid conflict with Trump & MAGA has never seen video of Josh Hawley running for his life in the Capitol or Lindsey being hunted like prey in the DC airport.

When you spent billions and destroyed your brand to recreate 1930's Germany and got 1780's France instead.
