Propulsive storytelling featuring chapters alternating between the perspectives and voices of two protagonists. Chekhov’s gun appears early yet when it goes off, it’s a surprise that made me audibly gasp. Highly recommend. #Booksky 💙📚

When the world is upside down, books help me make sense of it all. In 2024, I re-read The Handmaid’s Tale. In 2025, I re-read 1984. In 2026, it’s Fahrenheit 451. I wish they didn’t hold up so well. #Booksky 💙📚

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

The most un-put-down-able memoir I’ve read this year. If you’re resisting because you’re not into running, get over it. An extraordinary read from @nicholas and a phenomenal Chrismukah gift for the book lover in your life. #Booksky 💙📚

Most business biographies fall into one of two camps: 📚 Great stories with no lessons — or lessons with no soul. Dirtbag Billionaire is the rare book that delivers both. I blazed through this and can’t recommend it more highly. #Booksky 💙📚

Wandered into Garden District Bookshop on a recent trip to New Orleans and picked up The Neon Rain by James Lee Burke — first in his Dave Robicheaux series. Hard-boiled, poetic, swampy noir. Raymond Chandler on po’boys and chicory coffee. Ripped through it. #Booksky 💙📚

What starts as a war reporting satire evolves into a riveting character study of a spiraling young correspondent. Incredibly tough needle to thread setting this in Gaza pre-10/7 but deftly handled. Blazed through it. Hard to believe this is a debut novel. #booksky 💙📚

Judge Boasberg was a prosecutor when I was a public defender. We battled. Hard. He is a paragon of integrity. This attack, to use a technical legal term, is just so deeply fucked.

Trump's SEC has dropped a major lawsuit against Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange. This comes just weeks after the Trump family's crypto venture (World Liberty Financial) helped broker a $2B deal between Binance and a UAE state-backed firm. It's all out in the open.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

DHS agents just denied me entry to the immigration court on Varick St.

I identified myself as a member of the press and said I was there to observe.

They still didn't let me in, saying I had "no business" there.

Trump cut staffing at the VA, and now Dallas vets are waiting months for care. Surgeries are being delayed. Vets are being left without mental health care. I’ve called for an investigation—because if you claim to support veterans, act like it.

This “deep state” is in fact the last vestige of a democracy committed to equal rights and the common good in what had become a corrupt oligarchic sham of it. The “unelected bureaucrats” were the only ones listening to and responding to the people. All dismantled in the name of “democracy.”

The abusive weaponization of the Trump Justice Department is getting to be so extreme it would be a farce if it weren't so dangerous to our system of government. And remember, it's not my assertion -- this is what Trump himself vowed to do if returned to power.
