Maybe McCarthy is a fan of George Westinghouse? (Westinghouse’s AC electric current — as opposed to Edison’s DC current — was used to invent and employ the electric chair. Highly recommend Graham Moore’s historical fiction The Last Days of Night about this feud!) https://t.co/bKkM3ZnOGf

@AlexAnuzita @kathleen_belew Sorry, Bring the War Home

Two good books on historical and contemporary political and hybrid warfare between the U.S. and Russia: The Folly and the Glory: America, Russia, and Political Warfare 1945-2020 by @Folly_and_Glory and The Shadow War by @jimsciutto (the chapter on space war is 😱😱😱)

The authors, @Jacob_S_Hacker and Paul Pierson, elaborate on their (vindicated) observations in the above article in their 2020 book, "Let Them Eat Tweets" -- which I highly recommend! It's a great explanation of the forces contributing to the party's vicious downward spiral https://t.co/twsmwrL04t

Re George Santos: I highly recommend the book “The Sociopath Next Door”…the author estimates that about 4% of the population meet the criteria for sociopathy. Her advice is to stay away from them and they usually self destruct or end up in jail https://t.co/M9AXrJW82w

This article is worth the read. He’s from my hometown of Hampton, VA — went to Robert E. Lee elementary (which has since been renamed). Makes me want to reread Confederates in the Attic (which is a great book) https://t.co/KonE9RmdWc

It’s a *fantastic* book, @kathleen_belew, and is really a must-read for out current moment. Have been meaning to do a short book report thread on Bring the War Home and on @chick_in_kiev’s Culture Warlords https://t.co/514Fa5L3dP

I get the need to charge conservatively in order to secure a conviction, but the facts outlined in this indictment do seem to fit the “levy war” part of the Treason Clause in the Constitution, based on @carltonfwlarson’s book, “Treason: A Citizen’s Guide to the Law” (a must-read) https://t.co/rTiy9HPFAn

Out of stock

I have often thought about this parallel after reading @EthanKytle and @BlainRoberts1’ “Denmark Vesey’s Garden: Slavery and Memory in the Cradle of the Confederacy” (pictured/cited below) — a must-read in light of current debates over both CRT and statues, etc. https://t.co/395eafVIKw
