A slightly revised cover (which I love) and a new endorsement for my next book. All of this is making for a very happy holiday season.... “Conspirator in Chief is a fascinating deep dive into the history of conspiracy theories promulgated by US presidents. In the internet age, we are used to thinking of conspiracy theories as a distinctly modern problem. Knott shows how they have been weaponized by presidents going back to Andrew Jackson, and along the way illuminates just how Donald Trump’s online firehose of conspiracies and misinformation serve his political aims. Excellent reading for US history buffs and those who want to understand our current conspirator-in-chief alike.”—Cailin O’Connor, coauthor of "The Misinformation Age: How False Beliefs Spread"

It is hard not to observe, with a sense of quiet regret, the gradual decline of an office that once at least claimed a measure of dignity. The presidents in the photograph were by no means flawless, yet they generally bore themselves with restraint, aware of the weight of their position. What we see today is not a sudden fall but the culmination of a long decline stretching back decades (Clinton, etc.). Even so, the present president has driven the office to a low few could have foreseen.

"Carry on, patriots." The blatant politicization of the U.S. military will have bad, bad effects in the future. Our norms, our mores, our way of life -- people'll miss all that when it's gone. But they can't know it now, I fear.
Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump

BREAKING: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lifted the suspension of Army pilots who flew two Apache helicopters that hovered outside Kid Rock’s home during a training mission, saying there will be no investigation. “Thank you Kid Rock…pilots suspension LIFTED. No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots,” Hegseth wrote on Twitter Some straight-up banana republic stuff.

No chance they prevail in court, but before we ever get there, watch for DOJ to pay a settlement. All part of the false narrative to rewrite the history of the 2020 election.

Members of the Jan. 6 mob are suing the federal government for tens of millions of dollars in damages. The lawsuit is claiming that the “indiscriminate” use of force by police officers repelling the attack caused them physical and emotional injuries. politico.com/news/2026/03/3…

Our president's persistent preference for Putin over our beleaguered ally in Ukraine remains inexplicable, a strategic and moral catastrophe. politico.eu/article/russia…
