    I was asked at a town hall tonight about my family's history. My mom was a Polish Jew who survived the Holocaust & rebuilt her shattered life in the United States. My dad’s family fled religious persecution & arrived on the Mayflower. This story is only possible in America.

  2. From the reader-email inbox, from someone whose identity and back story I know. (He explicitly contrasts the commitment-to-principle of his brother, now buried in Arlington National Cemetery, with the craven willingness-to-abandon-principle of the Senate GOP.)

  4. 2/2 For the record, here is actual transcript of Trump-voting Iowa-farmer interview yesterday on NPR. Fascinating part to me is *the* insistent center of reportorial interest: Why Dems cannot “figure out how to get voters like John back.”

  5. 2/2 Speaking of which, no wonder we were road weary! Just prowling through the phone-location records of years when and I were reporting for our book. Somehow omits SDak and some others, but still. Now turning off location tracker.

  6. A KS/MO confession: Two years ago, at book event in Kansas City, I talked about some events “in the vicinity” — namely, Wichita and Dodge City KS. Sigh. But it was real time brain freeze, a la Obama’s “all 57 states,” rather than official “audience of millions” tweet. Still...

  8. “Trump voters support Trump”: it never gets old. NPR report just now, interviewing older farmer in Iowa, said Democrats lost him “in the 80s” and party on wrong track “since the 60s.” “What can the Democrats do to win voters like him back…” Etc C’mon.

  9. Not if they don’t control the House, and have a 2/3 majority in the Senate. (That would mean GOP pickup of ~20 seats in the House, and 14 seats in the Senate, in this fall’s election.)

  12. More and more, I realize that our time in China, between 2006 and 2011, was a lost age of innocence, the unappreciated-at-the-time Golden Age of Hu Jintao.

    Hi Ben, Wondering when you would speak up: "Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) managed to be even more timorous" ..."Lamar speaks for lots and lots of us and refusing to elaborate." I remember you as a young PhD student, principled & outspoken. What has happened here? Your history teacher

  15. This is, once more, worth reading. About topics beyond aviation and aerospace safety, but illuminating about the Boeing situation. I see some parts of the story differently, but this is well-informed and well-argued, and worth the time.

  16. Senior US senator from Tennessee, a Republican, in 1973: “What did the president know, and when did he know it?" Senior US senator from Tennessee, a Republican, in 2020: “Yeah, whatever, no need for more evidence. “

    Mitch wants us to be mad at Lamar. Instead, be mad at McSally, Tillis, Ernst, and Gardner, who are from purple states and bet their reelection on standing with Trump And be mad at Collins, who only supported witnesses after Mitch gave her a hall pass Be mad and beat them in 2020

  18. 2/2 Senators are different from the rest of us. They’re older, they’re richer, they’re better known, they have more freedom of individual action. And one who is retiring, at age 79, with neither electoral challenges nor economic fears ahead of him, makes this choice.

  19. “No need for more evidence.” Words by which a two-term governor, three-term senator, former US Secretary of Education, has chosen to be remembered.
