Snooped around on the internet and just saw a book called, "Blitzed," by Norman Ohler. Just placed online library hold.
So relevant to today ... thanks for that reminder.

Author Says Hitler Was 'Blitzed' On Cocaine And Opiates During The War
Author Norman Ohler says that Adolf Hitler's drug abuse increased "significantly" from the fall of 1941 until winter of 1944: "Hitler needed those highs to substitute [for] his natural charisma."

OPINION | Trump's televised manic episode may have set new world records for lunatic, mendacious vapidity, writes @djrothkopf.bsky.social.
It’s Time to Kick Trump, 79, Out of the White House—and Into a Padded Cell
The president’s latest speech to the nation had all the demented energy of one of Hitler’s Nuremberg rallies, without the nuance and decency.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Food shortages, tents filled with sewage, and medical neglect are the grim norm at ICE's Fort Bliss detention center.

Every new facility that ICE rushes to open is destined to be plagued by the same inhumane conditions unless Congress takes action.

This is extraordinary, heartbreaking, and a red alert warning sign for our democracy.

These people are about to be federal judges, and they refuse to answer whether the U.S. Capitol was attacked on January 6.

They say they can't comment because it's "a political controversy".
Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Was the U.S. Capitol attacked on January 6, 2021?

Trump nominee: *dodges*

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Ursula von der Leyen:

Ukraine needs €137 billion in 2026–2027, and the EU must cover 2/3.

We know the urgency of funding Ukraine’s fight. But Russia does not have just Ukraine in its sights.
