Big congrats to my friend and fellow retired NWC professor @stephenknott.bsky.social on his new book, "Conspirator in Chief." Of course, he launched it in an Irish bar :) www.amazon.com/Conspirator-...

‘Out Cold.’ This week’s New Yorker cover.

This should be happening every time this serial fabricator interacts with the media.

Finally ... #UnTrumpAmerica #KennedyCenter 🫶

A small but important victory.

The brightest young man in these United States....

More overnight delusions from the Narcissist-in-Chief.

A gift for JFK on his 109th birthday.

Using the FBI to intimidate election officials in Wisconsin. Authoritarianism 101.

Part of our visit to the capital of Estonia involved a trip to the former site of a KGB prison/torture chamber/ execution site. Estonians today appreciate the rule of law more than many Americans.

The clown show continues…

If you think the moon landing was fake and the ‘deep state’ stole the 2020 election from Trump, then this book is not for you.

We just love these posts from our authors! :) Pick up your copy of Stephen Knott's new book Conspirator in Chief: The Long Tradition of Conspiracy Theories in the American Presidency here: kansaspress.ku.edu/9780700641284/

I have to say this never gets old. Always a great feeling. @univpressofkansas.bsky.social

Happy Mother’s Day. A note to President Kennedy from his secretary Evelyn Lincoln.

For this holiday weekend, here’s the mother of all #ScholarSunday threads, my epic 275th of public scholarly writing, podcast episodes, new & forthcoming books from the past week. Add more below, share as widely as possible, & enjoy, all! 🗃️ + blackwhiteandread.com/scholarsunda...

It looks like someone TP’d the Golden Don.

“Steve Knott has both a magisterial knowledge of the US presidency and a deep loyalty to truly American ideals. Both of these virtues shine from every page of this book, which should be read by anyone who cares about trust and decency

Ginni Thomas would like a word. Chief Justice John Roberts says public wrongly views the justices as ‘political actors’ www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

It’s demoralizing to have Trump presiding over the nation’s 250th birthday.

Evan Axelbank is a television reporter in Tampa, FL, who also hosts a terrific podcast on American history. His knowledge of the presidency is first-rate -- I truly believe this conversation is worth a listen, especially at this time in our nation's history. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2...

The latest from the most depraved crew ever to occupy the White House.

Made a reservation for dinner tonight. I'll have to be sure to bring my ID.

A post from early this morning. The ongoing degradation of the presidency and the entire political order continues apace.

Say it ain’t so.

Celebrating the nation’s 250th by pissing on everything that revolution stood for….

Right on cue after the dustup with Jimmy Kimmel. Authoritarianism 101. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/28/b...

Making America Nap Again

A very thoughtful review of my "Conspirator in Chief" in Law & Liberty It truly means a lot to have someone review your work this carefully. lawliberty.org/book-review/...

We are the laughingstock of the world.

Light Belatedly Dawns on the NYT.

The effort to ‘Make America Great Again’ is going swimmingly.

Presidents have a choice: they can opt to divide the nation by raising the specter of various “un-American” conspiracies -- or they can reject conspiracy mongering and appeal to "the better angels of our nature."

Happy Easter from the President of the United States.

Trump trying to complete the work of Andrew Johnson and reverse the intent of the Civil War amendments.

He’s not well (cont’d).
