The Fault Lines in Our Constitution should be read by every single adult who lives in America. And then we need to meet in small book clubs to discuss it. With cookies. And soothing beverages. This book is EVERYTHING. @msnbc.com @velshimsnbc.bsky.social @velshi.com
3rd editions rarely get reviewed. But Booklist gave #FAULTLINESINTHECONSTITUTION a star! "The Levinsons prove once again that an examination of the Constitution is always timely and relevant." @PeachtreePub #Constitution #ConstitutionalCrisis #kidlit www.booklistonline.com/products/980...

My beef with Hakeem Jeffries is he acts like he’s still in the state senate and not leading what should be the shadow government for an international super power

For writers needing to be reminded why you do what you do, or any person needing a powerful connection after this destabilizing week, I urge you to read this incredibly moving essay by @annasplat.bsky.social.
I was in New York when the crash happened this week, and I started writing this on the way back home, crossing over the 14th St. bridge in a cab.
