Our Revolution

Bernie Sanders
David WeigelDavid Weigel

The WI chapter of Bernie-founded Our Revolution endorsed @NelsonforWI, who was a 2020 DNC delegate for Sanders. Bernie backs @TheOtherMandela, who Nelson has called "entirely confused" for moderating some of his positions this year. https://t.co/SPxx73M674

Book Cover for: The Shadow Over Innsmouth, H. P. Lovecraft

The Shadow Over Innsmouth

H. P. Lovecraft
David WeigelDavid Weigel

Years ago I heard a Christmas parody song about "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" called "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fish-Men." If I hear absolutely any Christmas song, the Lovecraft song jumps back into my head. To be clear: This is good, I like it.

Book Cover for: The Sacred Fount: Novel, Henry James

The Sacred Fount: Novel

Henry James
David WeigelDavid Weigel

"Worst thing collected in the Library of America" would be a really unpopular prompt. I strongly disliked "The Breast" but that first Henry James novel he disowned is probably worse.

The Fighting Soul: On the Road with Bernie Sanders

Ari Rabin-Havt
David WeigelDavid Weigel

"The Fighting Soul" by @AriRabinHavt is great - tons of detail about how the Bernie 2020 campaign worked, about what the media misses about campaigns, and about Sanders himself. Really smooth read, too https://t.co/VHKb2JsBJC

Mayor: The Best Job in Politics

Michael A. Nutter
David WeigelDavid Weigel

Reporting from Philly for a few days, haven't seen anything as tense in person as the "lightning round" of questions (former Mayor) Michael Nutter asked (candidate) Helen Gym. "Thank you for telling me my husband's job." "That's between the two of you." https://t.co/AYUofGU5BH

Twilight of the Gods: A Journey to the End of Classic Rock

Steven Hyden
David WeigelDavid Weigel

@Steven_Hyden Oh, then I own TWO of your books! (I loved "Twilight of the Gods," and really felt the digression about people at shows who buy complicated drinks when people are standing in line behind them.)

Two Sides of the Same Coin: Collected Short Prose Vol.1

John O'Loughlin
David WeigelDavid Weigel

This was part of an answer about the opposition she’s faced from the FOP and CTU. FOP members shouldn’t re-elect president John Catanzara, she says, who’s so offensive he can’t be effective. The two unions are “two sides of the same coin.”
