1. I’ve spent the past several years trying to solve a riddle: Why has America ceased to be a land of opportunity for so many of its people? The answer, I’ve come to believe, is that we’re STUCK: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/700580/s…

Last year, 45% of international travelers arriving in the U.S. visited more than one state. Choking off access to the prime gateway airports may not hurt sanctuary jurisdictions nearly as much as those secondary destinations.

SCOOP: Markwayne Mullin met with airline and travel executives at DHS last week and told them he's serious about plan to pressure sanctuary cities by cutting CBP passenger & cargo screening at intl airports after World Cup. Execs have warned economic impact would be "devastating"

@YAppelbaum I can give you a full synopsis and background. There are lots of factors at play, but if you wait another 3-5 years, trip time should improve versus today. I suspect the 2hr30 time you refer to was only for a nonstop, which doesn't operate now for a variety of reasons.

Every now and then, riding between DC and NY, I recall that in 1969, there were three Metroliners each day making this run in 2 hours 30 minutes—and that the fastest Acelas today take 2 hours 45 minutes.

“An article in The Atlantic in March, citing anonymous associates of Mr. Ahmadinejad, said that the former president had been freed from government confinement after the strike at his house, which the article described as “in effect a jailbreak operation.””
Mark Mazzetti@MarkMazzettiNYT

NEW: The regime change plan at the beginning of the Iran War called for installing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's former hard line president known for accelerating the nuclear program and denying the Holocaust, as the country's new. leader.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/us/…

@SamuelBiagetti I think — I hope! — this is generally true of dissertations. But having subjected a large number of excerpts from university press books or adaptations from refereed journals to magazine-style factchecking, I am sorry to say that confidence does not extend forward.

New: What the Pentagon Didn't Say About a Deadly Crash The military claimed the skies were “friendly" when a KC-135 tanker went down over Iraq. But initial intelligence reports suggested otherwise. W/ @missyryanWP and @nancyayoussef

Exclusive: The Pentagon said a crash that killed six U.S. service members did not involve hostile fire and happened in “friendly airspace”—but initial intelligence reports painted a more complicated picture, Atlantic staff writers report. theatlantic.com/national-secur…

Fascinating to see prohibition—the signature policy of Progressive Era reformers—now glossed as "reactionary." The arc of history is long, but it seems to be bending in Robert H. Wiebe's direction.

Beyond the ragebait of the manosphere lies a group of thinkers who want to turn back the clock on feminism. Far from being a fringe belief system, masculinism has become the single most important force uniting the American right. My latest for @TheAtlantic
