The art of the American Revolution does not confirm the age-old and stale myths of 1776 but opens us up to a more radical, more egalitarian past. Rachel Hunter Himes in @booksandthearts.

Two high-profile Grahams faced voters in US Senate primaries this week: Graham Platner and Lindsey Graham. One did much better than the other.

Donald Trump is "pissed." Why? The manifest failure of even today’s invertebrate Republican Party to carry out every self-glorifying iota of his bidding.

In October 2020, I uploaded my résumé to the store’s website. A couple of weeks later, I was hired as a cashier and supervisor in a department called the Front End.

Brad Lander has put his body on the line for immigrants, fought for tenants and workers, and challenged corporate power. That's the kind of representative NY-10 deserves—not Dan Goldman.

"Closing the store on time was a way to push back against bosses who treated us like widgets and paid us pennies. My colleagues and I worked days, nights, or a combination of them."

Platner's race against Susan Collins will get major coverage this year. But, perhaps, some attention might also be spared for the South Carolina race involving another Graham: Lindsey Graham.

There’s simply no good explanation for why one person who runs multiple companies at the same time and cannot focus on any single one of them with his full attention should be rewarded this way.

Graham v Graham: In South Carolina, Lindsey Graham won with 56.8 percent of the vote—a victory, but an unspectacular one for such an ostensibly powerful figure. Meanwhile, in Maine, Graham Platner carried 72 percent of the Democratic primary vote.

The Trump administration is addicted to violence. It’s the only possible explanation, writes @ElieNYC, for why Trump’s border thug has taken to threatening to New York with an ICE invasion during the world cup. This and more in his latest newsletter.
