I read Gessen’s book this week for a project I am working on. The most striking part was the epilogue, where she, in 2014, saw where all this was headed. Putin’s culture wars would reach right into the White House and Congress. And now may be seen as more than a quaint quirk of US behavior. It was McCarthy, Buchanan, Robertson, Trump, Clarence Thomas, Fox, Qanon and a thousand points of hate.
And a war at home.

Can we talk about the absent Garland Justice Department? Seems they're working closely with the NY AG to do nothing.
You have so much material to work with these days, Steve. Thanks for using it so well.
