oh my god
Bannon got Stephen Miller to write the immigration EO. Miller, a fifty-five-year-old trapped in a thirty-two-year-old’s body, was a former Jeff Sessions staffer brought on to the Trump campaign for his political experience. Except, other than being a dedicated farright conservative, it was unclear what particular abilities accompanied Miller’s political views. He was supposed to be a speechwriter, but if so, he seemed restricted to bullet points and unable to construct sentences. He was supposed to be a policy adviser but knew little about policy. He was supposed to be the house intellectual but was purposely unread. He was supposed to be a communications specialist, but he antagonized almost everyone.

I know this book was published in 2018 but even then this was objectively not true
FIVE SONS Musk and his ex-wife Justine are the parents of five sons; they have a set of twins and a set of triplets. Musk and Justine share custody of the boys. Musk spends most weekends with his children. They watch movies, make model rockets, and play video games. He hopes that humans will live on Mars during his sons' lifetime.

The Cheney stuff is very good but also this little detail about the OLC's legal justification for the SOUTHCOM strikes floored me.
In Gaiser’s sophistry, because the fishermen are unarmed, U.S. personnel are in no danger, so there is no war that fits the terms of the 1973 War Powers Resolution; it thus follows, in this backward-spooling reasoning, that there are simply no authorities that Congress—the body authorized by the Constitution to declare war—can exercise.
