Looks like 15-18 inches here in Lewes DE. Damn.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to gain access to Michigan’ unredacted statewide voter registration list. Another BIG victory for our clients and voters. Another stunning defeat for Pam Bondi. www.democracydocket.com/cases/michig...

Honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. 🇺🇸 #SomberMemorialDay

At the Gaithersburg Book Festival - amazing authors, wonderful turnout. Let’s talk about FDR!

1) Awaking the Spirit of America: FDR's War of Words with Charles Lindbergh and the Battle to Save Democracy by @paulsparrowfdr.bsky.social 2) The Good Shepherd or Bladerunner (both on Netflix) #HATM

It’s stunning to me that the New York Times did not put the story on the bloodbath at the NIH, CDC, and FDA on its front page this morning.

I'd like to thank Paul Sparrow, John McManus, and Mitch Yockelson for these episodes on leadership and relationship dynamics including FDR and MacArthur, Churchill and Eisenhower, and discussion of the American Experience in World War II. @paulsparrowfdr.bsky.social @johncmcmanus.bsky.social

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

This is the SEMINAL POLITICAL PODCAST of 2025. Podcasts like this are EXACTLY how young men will consume and understand politics. Dem strategists should study every single second of it and recognize this is their new reality for reaching young men. Guaranteed. youtu.be/W17FWAOC8oc?...

Nor am I!

Harry Litman: If she had any self-respect, Pam Bondi would withdraw her nomination. Not only is this the worst affront to the DOJ in its history, it contradicts her testimony and her expressed revulsion for pardoning people who are violent to enforcement while making her look impotent.

Wow — there are now more than 29 MILLION users on Bluesky! Spread the word!! 💙🦋 bsky-users.theo.io

Tell these public servants, these Democrats, for there to be successful midterm election victories, they must get on the road & media with a message, Economic Policies for ALL Americans. Pragmatic Messaging is a proven method for winning elections, illustrated historically by FDR in the New Deal.

#EmbarrassmentInChief 🤮

What a coincidence!

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

What is needed are “alternative fact” checkers

They said “Don’t worry, it doesn’t really snow in Delaware, especially not like the Hudson Valley” 11 inches at least. Snowy start to 2025

Good morning, Bluesky family. It’s foggy here on Long Island right now, but still hauntingly beautiful.

Welcome, new arrivals! I served at CIA and the State Dept, followed by non-profit & private sector leadership roles. I offer info/insight on nat’l security, intelligence, and the presidency & how it all intersects with history and culture. Celebrating books, all things Arctic, space, and dogs.

What's up, BlueSky!? We're here! We have a massive following on Twitter, but looking to build up the same here on BlueSky! We love books, reading, authors, and more! #booksky #readingsky #authorsky

@jillwatts.bsky.social who wrote "The Black Cabinet" and @harveyjkaye.bsky.social are two who come to mind

www.msn.com/en-us/politi... Hard to believe the Supreme Court is not one of the most corrupt and unethical branches of our government.

I'm very excited to be featured on tonights episode of History Camp historycamp.org/event/paul-s... at 8 PM hope you can listen in.

I am thankful for the beauty natures provides us. Take a moment to breathe and experience gratitude.

Looking for that perfect gift for someone interested in intelligence and national security? I have many recommendations. Among them, this: my book on the President’s Daily Brief, with stories from those who prepared, delivered, and received it across the decades: www.amazon.com/Presidents-B...

Your point about how Germany was using lots of Americans in order to keep the US out of the war reminds me of the story I did about American architecture Philip Johnson who was a fascist, a Nazi supporter, had an extensive FBI file…and we just forgot about it jwp.news/015

Who would you cast as FDR and Lindy? Personally I’d go for Mark Rylance and Alexander Skarsgård

It is your problem, my friends, your problem no less than it is mine. Together we cannot fail. 50/50

[Going back to the well... because it seems relevant 🤦‍♂️] March 12, 1933 1st Fireside Chat My friends, I want to talk for a few minutes with the people of the United States about banking—to talk with the comparatively few who understand the mechanics of banking... 1/x

100% gonna be getting your book. Also I loved LOVED the FDR library. I reckon actually there could be a good TV show about the run up to America getting involved in WWII. Season 1 ending with the invasion of Poland, Season 2 ending with Pearl Harbor, Season 3 being a coda

Loved this conversation, give it a listen

I am happy to share the talk I gave at the FDR Library's reading festival on the Black Cabinet during the Roosevelt years and Mary McLeod Bethune. Grateful to the @paulsparrowfdr.bsky.social, BookTV, and the Library for the opportunity. www.c-span.org/video/?52896...

America's Pre-Existing Condition: Corporate Greed & Cruelty This week illuminates the festering sickness of corporate greed that has corrupted our health care, political, & media institutions that exist to profit the powerful at the expense of the majority. thelefthook.substack.com/p/americas-p...

📖 alert! As I wrote in mine, Taibbi literally cut emails in half in the Twitter Files. Cut quotes to change meaning. Got shit wrong in sworn Congressional testimony; still used to justify subpoenas & lawsuits. Didn’t issue corrections on mistakes. Unethical POS. Regime media for a political machine.

To my new friends here, I hope you will join me at the National Archives tomorrow at 6pm for a conversation with Archivist Dr. Colleen Shogan, about FDR, Charles Lindbergh and presidential libraries. Please share widely, I need help promoting this event. Thanks! www.archives.gov/calendar/eve...

My thesis concert at UCSC was titled "Requiem for Black Mountain College."

NEW: Bluesky has seen massive growth in the weeks following the US election. There are 24 million users on the social media platform. With great engagement comes great responsibility, which means Bluesky CEO @jay.bsky.team has a lot to do. She sat down with WIRED to talk about it.

Jimmy Carter pardoned his brother Billy Carter who took over $200,000 from Libya as its foreign agent. George H.W. Bush pardoned his son Neil Bush for his role in the S&L scandals of the 1980s. Nobody thinks those pardons defined either presidency. Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden won't either.

Until President Franklin D. Roosevelt, most presidents delivered their State of the Union addresses in December to end the year. A few fun samples.

Northern Norway now hosts an amphibious warfare center, providing allies a dedicated facility for amphibious training in the Arctic. Way to go, Norway! www.thebarentsobserver.com/security/nor...

I have covered both Musk and Alex a lot, and only one of them is a useful idiot for Putin and also a heinous person. The other is a patriot who did his job with distinction and is a very good man. Guess which is which: thehill.com/policy/techn...

A great article from the WWII Memorial. Worth reading. www.wwiimemorialfriends.org/blog/thanksg...

Here to stay now that @markhamillofficial.bsky.social follows me
