I wonder if Annie Jacobsen was a consultant for this film. Her Nuclear War: A Scenario was truly incredible and frightening. @AnnieJacobsen @barryeisler 'A House of Dynamite' review: Kathryn Bigelow directs a nuclear thriller npr.org/2025/10/10/nx-s1-556…

Every moment pops in the nuclear thriller 'A House of Dynamite'

A single nuclear warhead, of unknown origin, is heading toward the U.S. mainland in Kathryn Bigelow's new Netflix film. It's an unnerving scenario — but it's also thrilling to watch.

I’ve been a fan of @barryeisler books since John Rain came on the scene in Rain Fall. This book is one of his best. Meticulously researched and reads like an investigative journalism story not a fictional novel. Outbloodystanding!

Happy birthday, Franz Kafka, although I expect he would have found a way to make the day less than happy, bless his soul.

Let's stop calling it "health care" spending That would imply it is improving health Or keeping it from worsening Neither of which is happening, statistics confirm Any ideas on a better name? "Medical spending" is at least neutral

And I'm not Truman's biggest fan. Never trust someone with a single letter as their middle name.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

MAGA is furious because they're being judged by the content of their character, and not by the color of their skin.

Trump Never Has Been a Sincere Advocate of Realism and Restraint

Expectations for a restrained foreign policy by a Trump administration were naïve. We now have strong evidence. Even before President Donald Trump ordered B-2 bombers to attack Iran’s nuclear sites

The U.S. has launched nearly 400 military interventions in the last 249 years. HALF of these interventions happened between 1950-2019. This is what we're talking about when we say Washington is addicted to war.

🧵 It’s the 100th day of Trump 2.0, so here are 100 times Trump and those close to him have attacked press freedom and transparency. That doesn’t mean they’re only averaging one per day – we had to make cuts. There will probably be more attacks while we’re posting this.

It's doomed because all Israeli leaders know how to do is kill people. And that is even more the case under Netanyahu. Why the Israel-Gaza ceasefire may be doomed | Watch full video at san.com/cc/why-the-israel-ga…

Why the Israel-Gaza ceasefire may be doomed

The Israel-Hamas ceasefire in Gaza went into effect on Jan. 19. There are still plenty of questions about how it will play out.

Joe Biden pardoned his whole family, Liz Cheney and Anthony Fauci, but he did not pardon Julian Assange. Will President Trump right this wrong? #PardonAssange
