Today is the anniversary of the British evacuating New York City after the end of the Revolutionary War. Here's how I learned about it: the piece that introduced me to the terrific work of @bencarp.bsky.social
Evacuation Day: Marking the End of the Revolutionary War
We know how to honor the image of soldiers charging forward, but we often forget to cheer the backs of troops as they peaceably depart.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.
Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

More than inspiration, writing a book requires discipline.
There are days I feel highly driven, only to get nowhere. Similarly, there are mornings I feel off, yet end up making massive leaps.
If you want progress, don’t trust your feelings.

This is a good time to watch John Oliver’s devastating vivisection of RFK Jr back in 2024. After showing in detail what a charlatan and plain old A-hole he is, Oliver says RFK Jr’s becoming HHS secretary would be “a f***ing nightmare.”

The Epstein Files bill has a lot of protections in it to prevent Bondi from doing what we all suspect she's going to do: hold back or redact because of an open investigation or national security concerns. If she improperly withholds, she'll be sued, and SCOTUS will eventually decide.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The House of Representatives will vote on releasing the Epstein files today.
It will pass, then it needs to get through the Senate and Trump.
Trump claims he has nothing to hide, yet he could’ve directed the DOJ to release the files at any time.
He doesn’t need a vote from Congress.
