Don't read @NicholasLemann's "Returning" as a Jewish book, @mattizcoop writes, but as an American one: how, in a free country, we choose to wear our identities, and how the majority culture pushes back. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/0…

What do we need in the age of Trump? A liberalism without elitism. Robert Coles showed the way, as I write in @monthly washingtonmonthly.com/2026/0…

AI ads are cheap, viral, and easy to make, writes @billscher. They also just cost a Republican TV personality the LA mayor's race. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/0…

Don't discount the possibility that Trump's craziest policies are the result of actually believing their most batshit conspiracy theories, especially the ludicrous notion that Democrats only win elections because undocumented people vote (they don't).

A threat to pull customs officers from sanctuary cities could snarl World Cup travel. Why would they do it? Maybe because MAGA actually believes undocumented immigrants are stealing elections, writes @DavidOAtkins. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/0…

In 1875, a jury took 10 minutes to declare Mary Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's widow, insane. A new book from @loisromano revisits a stunning American injustice. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/0…

He spent the '80s and '90s covering 60 Minutes for Newsweek and sat with founder Don Hewitt as he screened pieces. Now, @jonathanalter fears the precious institution is dead. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/0…
