"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

Acting on advice from a right-wing influencer, Trump fired the head of NSA. He’s eliminated programs monitoring foreign influence and disinformation. Fired those securing voting systems & degraded efforts to stop foreign intrusions. Making our elections less secure. And more vulnerable to Russia.
