Joliver! If HBO gets bought out and they sell your show, have you considered starting your own media company? Would love to see your writers and fact checkers more often!

Feels like a good time to plug this book. Gets more relevant every year we inch towards the decades in this story.

I used to be afraid that we were falling into a dictatorship. But after catching a few clips of Hegseth’s unbelievably cringey speech in front of the generals, it’s obvious who we’re dealing with…

Severance has no cohesive plot to speak of. They started with a good premise, then focused on the mystery of it. By the end of the show, I don't think they answered any of the questions they posited. Entertaining, for sure.

The birthday parade will cost an estimated $45 million.

That's over one-fifth of the 2025 NEH budget, which covered >900 grants in all 50 states to support public libraries, local museums, community history projects, literacy initiatives, research grants & more. Until he rescinded the funds.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.
