John: Loving Jesus and Keeping His Word
Paul Y. Lee
I voted for Summer Lee and John Fetterman. I am rooting hard for Paul Prescod, Elizabeth Fiedler, and Rick Krajewski on the other side of PA, along with Robert LeVertis Bell and Tyler Lamon in KY and Phil Carter in NC.

The Vanished Birds
Simon Jimenez
THE VANISHED BIRDS by Simon Jimenez A beautiful, epic, character-driven science fiction novel that stretches across a thousand years and multiple galaxies. It reminded me of HYPERION at times. https://t.co/v2h6gCE2MJ

Testimony
Peter Lazare
I just finished reading TESTIMONY by @sarahlazare and Peter Lazare. It's a fun thriller about regulatory capture, public-private partnerships, and the national security apparatus in the wake of 9/11. We need more novels like this (and energy democracy).
