I'm reading the startling new book Sandy Hook: An American Tragedy and the Battle for Truth by @NYTLiz. It starts painfully but sensitively, then spins into the infuriating conspiracy theories that continue to haunt the parents of 20 innocent children. https://t.co/GIBxnDuDCd

@franklinleonard @Oprah It's no bio pic, but Frederick Douglass has an amazing and probably controversial supporting role in the John Brown series, "The Good Lord Bird."

Tom Murphy
Jonathan WeismanJonathan Weisman

The statement from chairs of the moderate Democratic Blue Dog Coalition calling for a results-oriented divided government has 1 big problem. Of the 4, Tom O’Halleran (AZ-01), Ed Case (HI-01), Stephanie Murphy (FL-07), and Kurt Schrader (OR-05), only Case survived the election.

Frank Bruni

"This isn’t the sad story of a man who lost his sight; it is the generous narrative of a student who sought wisdom when trials appeared in his life." A stellar review of @FrankBruni's new book "The Beauty of Dusk." Can't wait! https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/28/books/review/the-beauty-of-dusk-frank-bruni.html?smid=tw-share

In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin

Erik Larson
Jonathan WeismanJonathan Weisman

I’m late to Erik Larson’s In the Garden of Beasts but every time you read about Germany in the 1930s, you’re struck by how a diet of hate leads inevitably to violence, state-sanctioned or not. It is license from on high. #ColoradoSprings
