Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda
Jean Guerrero
No one understands #CaliforniaRecall > @jeanguerre who wrote the book on Stephen Miller ("Hatemonger"), mentored by GOP frontrunner Larry Elder. Her @latimes columns have been the most prescient guide in the recall's last months. My @Salon interview: 1/17 https://www.salon.com/2021/09/13/california-recall-jean-guerrero-interview/

Watergate: A New History
Garrett M. Graff
@MattGrossmann @NiskanenCenter @eh_miller It didn't start with the Birchers, though. Conspiracism was central to anti-New Deal politics in the 30s & got new blood with folks like Nixon after WWII. McCarthy cribbed Nixon's homework & Garrett Graff's new “Watergate: A New History,” centers Nixon's conspiracist mindset.

100%: The Story Of A Patriot
Upton Sinclair
I have 100% the opposite view: "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." You really think I.F. Stone wasn't a journalist? Frederick Douglas wasn't a journalist? Ida B. Wells wasn't a journalist? Ida Tarbell wasn't a journalist? Upton Sinclair? https://t.co/aEwnCB2C8b
