For the past 6 months, all writers (like me) have been receiving AI-written solicitations to join fake book clubs or collaborate with fake book-influencers. Now it's escalated to AI-written fake emails from other novelists. This morning I woke to fake emails from Emily Henry and Marilynne Robinson.

Good-night, America. Trump and Mike Johnson did not go to bed hungry. Tens of millions of Americans did…on Trump and Mike Johnson’s watch. Also? Still no release of the Epstein files. Let’s sleep on why.

Deepest thanks to Holy Trinity Armenian Church in Cambridge, MA. Was so honored to speak there last night about the #ArmenianGenocide, ethnic cleansing, and my work. Great crowd, great questions, and great Armenian food!

Covfefe. Release the Epstein Files. (Also, about Trump’s rant below? The redistricting is constitutional. Also? Sounds like a very, very old man’s toddler meltdown.) #EpsteinTrumpFiles

Jesse didn’t understand why the Vermont Book Shop wasn’t open at 7:15 this morning. She stared wistfully at the door for 60 seconds before I convinced her we should continue our walk.
