PUTIN's regime & its violent crackdown on dissent couldn't happen "without the cooperation of Western enablers," including "spin doctors like GLENN SIMPSON, politicians like DANA ROHRABACHER," BILL BROWDER alleges in FREEZING ORDER, which is out today. https://t.co/QEJ1CFN1SF https://t.co/QDT9exDvI5

Bibi developed a "disdain for the liberal-leaning, Democrat-voting American Jews he was encountering," per @AnshelPfeffer. But he favored U.S. capitalism over Israel's centralized & collectivist economy. He read Ayn Rand & lectured his Israeli friends on the evils of socialism. https://t.co/PNkcMQQZxE

There’s been a lot of punditry about @ZelenskyyUa, but very little of that comes from people who actually know him well. @IuliiaMendel is one of those people, & she is out with a new book detailing her work for him, & her life after Russia’s invasion.

Musk references @DHSgov's shuttered Disinformation Governance Board, saying: "There was this whole move to create a disinformation ministry, which is insane … George Orwell is turning in his grave … 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual."

*Joe Biden’s quote about Ivy League power & exclusivity is from Richard Ben Cramer's "What It Takes," which paints such a vivid portrait of Biden & how he thinks/talks. When I listen to Biden today — 30 years after it was published — it still evokes passages from the book for me

PAUL MANAFORT also uses his first radio interview to throw shade at his old TRUMP campaign rival COREY LEWANDOWSKI. MANAFORT says Trump tapped him because “I had a lot of experience — more than anyone else on the campaign, frankly.”

Germany is praised for its culture of remembrance & contrition. But an honest acknowledgment of the wartime activities of some of its richest families remains an afterthought, writes @davidthejong, author of “Nazi Billionaires: The Dark History of Germany’s Wealthiest Dynasties” https://t.co/kHgfyUlAPg
