Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

This is such an unusual and strangely revelatory read: The forgotten visionary Robert Walser, the art of walking, and our daily dance between posturing and sincerity "The introduction to this volume, by none other than Susan Sontag, is itself a deeply enjoyable masterwork of prose."

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

This winter-into-spring section will especially resonate today! Wishing you a super special day!
