A new study is reviving hope that a twice-daily pill can slow down Alzheimer's in people whose genes put them at high risk for the disease. n.pr/3Ll96HX

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

My memory of Claudia Cardinale is indeed a blessing. Saw her in a rerelease showing of Once Upon A Time In The West in a big-screen theater in D.C. at the age of 12. Have not been right since.

If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

My book "On Freedom," the case for the value of freedom and a proposal for a better future, with a new foreword accounting for where we are today, will be out in paperback October 28th. timothysnyder.org/on-freedom

The latest Postcards From Home, @darrow-m.bsky.social's unpublished book capturing two decades of D.C. life on film. The book never materialized, but Darrow’s revisiting the project with new eyes.

Iconic image.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

I'm not sure what I thought "FBI gets sub to the chest" was going to mean, but I guess I didn't think it was going to mean "FBI gets sub to the chest."

The way John Brown caught hold of this man's whole soul

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are.

I know Tim Cook is just trying to protect his company but saying the president is a “well endowed and quite generous lover” seems a bit too far

is "Thomas Chatterton Williams is the Andrew Sullivan of Ross Douthats" anything

I’ve gotten some negative feedback about the language I used about Columbia. Although I accept people choosing their own tone, I decline to accept tone critiques from people who wish to follow decorum obediently into a ditch. Columbia’s leadership is contemptible Vichy scum.

It's not like Trump has any obvious connection with Epstein anyway.

Some people see the graveyard half full, but he sees it as half empty

Happy birthday Bill! Thanks for so many great comics. Here's a tribute piece of mine from a while back, and check out Davis' gorgeous comic below.

Competition is fierce to be the dumbest Trump Cabinet secretary. RFK Jr. is no rocket scientist, Hegseth is a featherweight, and Bondi spouts sycophantic nonsense all the time. Yet the climate-denying, puppy-killing former South Dakota governor just may be the biggest fool. https://trib.al/Xgg1Ebp

Aggressive stagflation is forecasted for the remainder of 2025. 🔗https://trib.al/bepcSLQ Inflation is expected to rise to 3 percent, GDP growth to fall by 1.4 percent, and unemployment to rise by 4.5 percent.

i'm reading this charles sumner speech from february 1866 and my dude is cooking

I want to follow one of these people around all day. "We're in a constitutional crisis and you're *showering*? OK." "The Supreme Court just eviscerated trans rights but you're going to eat today? MUST BE NICE." "Trump is bombing Iran but you're going to read a bedtime story to your kid?"

Anyone still quibbling that this isn't fascism?

Adding to the Trump/Musk body count, as predicted. Glad Bezos had a nice wedding, though.

She killed herself after finding out about this, and after the funeral - organized by the Kennedy family after RFK sued her brother for control of her remains - he had her body dug up and moved from the family cemetery plot in secret in the middle of the night. She is the mother of 4 of his children

It’s probably not great to wake up this pissed off. Then I think of how pissed off Justice Jackson must be.

“Coming to America and receiving a visa or green card is a privilege. Our laws and values must be respected,” the office of Citizenship and Immigration Services wrote on social media. It's unclear what “values” an immigrant needs to stay in the country. https://trib.al/UTvLvMa

WATCH: “What about the rich? Do they get shot? It’s like they’re making Wall Streeters walk out onto the ice in the East River… class warfare… eat the rich.” @cnbc.com hosts Joe Kernen & jim cramer hilariously struggle to process Zohran’s win — made inevitable by the greed they exalt.

CNBC feels like Businessman Cosplay for middle aged failures

ZOHRAN AND BERNIE WERE IN THE CLOSET MAKING SOCIALISM AND I SAW ONE OF THE SOCIALISMS AND THE SOCIALISM PUSHED ME INTO THE EAST RIVER WHICH WAS ICED OVER SOMEHOW

Never forget that as Russia struck Ukrainians on their way to Church killing 34 & bombed a playground last weekend, @SteveWitkoff has been whitewashing Russia’s genocide, acting as an influence agent of Russia, and trying to line up business deals. Hope he and everyone supporting Russia rot in hell

After 40 years of photographing D.C., @darrow-m.bsky.social is digging into the archives. These photos span 1986—when he started as an intern—to the early 2000s, all before he went digital. Here’s the first Postcards from Home.

Might be time to stop sucking our teeth and checking our 401k and do something.

a lot of people think you need a lot of money to buy clothes. now you're right. ok. my bad.

How the FedSoc judges on SCOTUS want you think habeas corpus works:

Sincerely I mean this, Nero never did anything this stupid

Well, JPMorgan’s chief economist Bruce Kasman certainly sounds cheery.

In the "personal news" department, this morning I let my colleagues know that I'm leaving The Washington Post. I'm retiring from my longtime journalistic home but not from journalism, and I'll keep you posted as I decide what my next chapter will be.
