“Circular Financing” is one of those terms that feels like you’ll hear Brad Pitt say in an Adam McKay style movie in like 8 years.

Imagine being Rahm Emanuel and destroying your CHICAGO TUFF GUY image forever on Meet the Press by saying “I’m a former ballet dancer - I’m pretty flexible” right before declaring your intent to run in 2028. I mean really imagine it.

Today was kind of weird. I gave an interview to the Boston Globe for an upcoming story and said something I probably shouldn't have. So I made Champagne Chicken (sparkling wine-based mushroom pan sauce) over Bucatini in hopes of forgetting all of it. 🍾

Trump realized he can claim the national security exemption in federal laws & regulations to get anything he wants. He is hellbent on destroying DC as we once knew it. 77M Americans voted to militarily occupy their own capitol city in perpetuity. I will never forgive them.

I learned this week that the New York Times was founded 175 years ago. There is a useful set of pieces floating around on this for journalism history buffs. But what struck me is that means the Times was founded 25 years *after* the black press which will celebrate its 200th birthday in a few months

So many people at CBS lost their jobs because of Bari Weiss, and more people will lose their jobs, and some of them will leave journalism permanently. I think about that a lot.

Two things it’s hard to convey if you weren’t alive back then: the extremity of hysteria, nationalism and Islamophobia the attack prompted, and how efforts to capture this can inadvertently obscure how Islamophobic things already were.

This piece was fascinating, getting at a point I'd never considered: bin-Laden's entire concept about what 9/11 would do to America was just... wrong. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Bin Laden was equally clear about how he thought terrorism would yield his desired result. In a March 1997 CNN interview with Peter Bergen, he spoke of transferring “the battle into the United States.” In a May 2000 speech, he told supporters that the war would henceforth be waged “against the United States, in the United States.” Americans, he observed to ABC’s John Miller in 1998, cannot tolerate pain, and will react to attacks not by fighting back and blaming al‑Qaeda, but instead by asking “what their government has done that forced us to defend ourselves.” In a November 2001 interview, he hinted at a theory of political change in America: Its citizens should “take the same stand that they did previously,” when they protested the Vietnam War and the presidents who waged it.

Nelly Lahoud, a professor at the Army War College and the author of the definitive book on the Abbottabad documents, told me this political pipe dream was bin Laden’s whole plan: “to replicate the anti–Vietnam War movement of the United States, to get the American public to put pressure on the U.S. government to withdraw its forces from the Middle East.” The documents reveal a man and an organization blindsided by the American reaction to the September 11 attacks. Bin Laden and his associates “didn’t think that the United States would respond by waging war,” Lahoud said. He did not contemplate or plan for the long-term occupation of Afghanistan, nor did he expect the methodical killing of his operatives in a campaign that lasted years.
