So so gorgeous. Ever since I learned of the Tompkins rewilding of lands they purchased and there conversion into National Parks, I’ve been wanting to go to Patagonia. Hopefully one day.

Opposition to (and hatred of) Obama manifested itself in birtherism, Tea Party protests, and many white American antipathy toward Obamacare (but not the ACA.) His election and re-election sent Republicans in overdrive, looking for their next Willie Horton, more Roger Ailes clones. And I’ll say

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Wondering how Epstein built such an expansive and well-connected network. Who were the first to fall for his charm and lies — before he’d begun to amass wealth? He obviously was adept at deception. Was he helped by the KGB master? Who else?

This is a terrible shame. SIGAR was the greatest Inspector General in the history of IGs. Pulled no punches, released so much information on corruption, mismanagement, and secrecy we never would have gotten about the Afghanistan War otherwise
The oversight website for Afghanistan reconstruction is missing, with no indication about when it will be available again.
