Exciting news: GOD, GUNS, and SEDITION is out today in paperback!
My @cfr_org and @columbiaUP book, co-authored with the great @hoffman_bruce, tells the story of far-right terrorism in America and beyond—a topic that sadly remains as relevant as ever. amazon.com/God-Guns-Sedition…
“Whatever it is that drives the Trump administration’s animosity toward Ukraine, that hostility represents a grotesque moral failing. It isn’t just strategically incomprehensible; it betrays America’s values and traditions.” @NoahCRothman nationalreview.com/corner/th…
Grateful to Peter Beck and Court Watch for covering my recent co-authored Journal of Strategic Competition piece on agroterrorism with an excellent contribution of their own. courtwatch.news/p/the-rabbit…
ICYMI: here’s my recent @irregwarfare JOSC article on agroterrorism, co-authored with Ella Busch.
“Agroterrorism is attractive largely due to its plausible deniability, particularly for state actors.” strategiccompetition.org/ind…

This is golf gentrification like I’ve never seen. Hains Point has been a quintessential muni course for the people, for decades. A duffers course. Hardpan but affordable. Accessible. Communal. Local. Urban. DC has so few affordable golf options. Washington didn’t ask for this.
New: Trump says that East Potomac Golf Course will close on Nov 15 for the redesign by Tom Fazio.
“Restoration work will begin on the Fazio Design on November 15th, when the old Course will be closed to play. The new Course will be opened in approximately 15 months.”
This comes as there is a heated legal dispute right now about whether the government can redesign the course.

Your Sunday long-read -- Court Watch looks at a newly-released academic report that’s raising alarms about the resilience of the country’s food supply and how law enforcement have been building a series of criminal cases to counter a ‘black swan’ event.

"They were so afraid, the looks on their faces, it was really hard to see. I was just trying to calm them down. Some kids were praying, some kids were consoling other kids, but they were doing it quietly because they know you don't make any noise."

"A teenager in suburban Chicago was arrested before carrying out what was planned to be a mass shooting at a Hindu temple [...] Investigators also found items with Nazi symbols, including swastikas, and a gas can labeled with an anti-Indian slur." nytimes.com/2026/10/15/us/hi…

Excited to say that my new book, American Pogroms: How Forgotten Massacres Shape America, is now out.
"A teenager in suburban Chicago was arrested before carrying out what was planned to be a mass shooting at a Hindu temple [...] Investigators also found items with Nazi symbols, including swastikas, and a gas can labeled with an anti-Indian slur." nytimes.com/2026/10/15/us/hi…
The lede requires a correction: it sounds like the gunman actually opened fire. The plot was not thwarted before it began; it was an active far-right terrorist attack that failed.
"The man that he fired at was 'certainly saved by his God today.'" nytimes.com/2026/10/15/us/hi…
A stunning story and very close shave: "Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi, a Democrat who represents Chicago’s northwest suburbs, said in a phone interview that he and his family had been at the Aurora temple at the time when Mr. Paporakis was there." nytimes.com/2026/10/15/us/hi…

BREAKING: Federal authorities are investigating letters with "suspicious substances" that have been mailed to congressional and election offices nationwide. apnews.com/article/fbi-posta…
"Scandinavia's exposure to the TCC phenomenon considerably predates the label, and the Nordic contribution to the canon is arguably disproportionate to the region's size."

With #Starlink's reliability in #Ukraine in the news again, I cannot recommend this brilliant October 2023 @IrregWarfare article by @WesJBryant any more highly.

"A group of as many as five men were 'cheering and appearing to encourage the activity inside' a frat house bathroom, and the group tried to block two of the woman’s friends from entering... The 21yo woman was 'not fully conscious' when she was found." blockclubchicago.org/2026/10…
"Agroterrorism constitutes a type of 'black swan' event: highly unlikely, but with sufficiently catastrophic effects to merit serious consideration and the undertaking of proactive measures." strategiccompetition.org/ind…

Seems like every week now there is a serious TCC attack somewhere in the world. Yesterday, France became the latest victim. The most global violent extremist movement — with maybe the highest operational tempo — since the Islamic State at its height. 🇫🇷 lemonde.fr/societe/article/2…

My latest, with Ella Busch for @irregwarfare’s Journal of Strategic Competition, explores past cases of agroterrorism, the vulnerabilities of American agriculture, and the potential weaponization of the agricultural sector by terrorists of several stripes. strategiccompetition.org/ind…

Professor @DrCMillington of @ManMetUni was exceedingly kind to host me on the @NewBooksNetwork podcast series to discuss my co-authored @ColumbiaUP book, God, Guns, and Sedition. An interesting conversation, with several lessons for the 2026 midterms. open.spotify.com/episode/59F…
"She forwarded copies of the threats to him, hoping that seeing the threats against her family would be enough to tone down the attacks. She got a five-word reply from the president: 'Your fault, you deserve it.'" @NYTnickc nytimes.com/2026/10/11/us/po…
