For the July issue of Harper’s, I tried to work through my feelings about the United States at this particular moment by surveying the America 250/Freedom 250 industrial complex and otherwise driving around the Keystone State: harpers.org/archive/2026/0…

While you were complaining about the supposed decline and death of reading, I, I, was buying William T. Vollman's new 3,000 page novel for $140.

Instead of a wall, the Trump admin plans to spend $2.6 billion on a vehicle barrier across the Lower Canyons of the Rio Grande in West Texas. The only problem? It's impossible for vehicles to drive across 100-to-300 foot cliffs and a mud-choked river. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

of course, we all want to protect Italian-Americans, under assault today as they have been every day since they came to this country in chains. But it seems relevant that Mamdani’s political idol is Fiorello LaGuardia!
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️@christopherrufo

Mamdani has always had a seething hatred for Italians. Here's a post from the George Floyd era calling to take down a statue of Columbus. The hatred of Italians is the hatred of beauty, culture, exploration, and genius—which is unbearable for many DSA dirtbags.

@RotorDriven a few years ago, the Texas power grid collapsed and my 82-year-old father was stuck alone in his 20° house, subsequently saying it was the most miserable five days of his life and that he thought he was going to die

@cd_hooks 11 years ago, as if they haven't made improvements in the meantime, which they have. Big improvements.

So Mamdani's *tweet*--a tweet providing the same guidance the Trump admin provides--has now become "speeches." As if our mayor is barnstorming the city, speaking for hours about thermostats. Amazing how much rightwing discourse is just them making shit up.
Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry@pegobry_en

@AliceFromQueens @tonyapc42 Is Greg Abbott giving speeches about how people should turn on their AC? No because he doesn’t hate his constituents & want them to live in penury. Some rec on some website somewhere that nobody knows about is obviously different. As ever,

NEW @KnowYrEnemyPod! Get Wills-Pilled, we're talking about Garry Wills's incredible 1992 book, LINCOLN AT GETTYSBURG: THE WORDS THAT REMADE AMERICA. @SamAdlerBell and I had a blast talking about the "Platonic Wills book"—link below!
