Trump's $250 million inaugural haul, which shattered all records for an inauguration, was a flood of corporate money. He got $5 million from a large poultry company. He took in many millions from crypto, oil, pharma and big tech. All the details here: wsj.com/politics/policy/trum…
A Pentagon Nomination Fight Reveals the New Rules of Trump’s Washington - @GregJaffe nytimes.com/2025/03/17/us/po…
Highly recommend people read about this chapter in American history…
Thrilled to be able to share, "Tragedy in Rock Springs," in this week's issue of @newyorker. It's an account of one of the most horrific episodes of racial terror in our nation's history and the effort today to unearth the fully story of what happened. newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

This is an image of Chinese miners returning to Rock Springs after the massacre. I've tried to imagine their fear and the kind of courage it would take to persist as they sought belonging in this country.

Some of Trump's charismatic Christian advisors have been rapturously posting this video of a charismatic worship session at Mar a Lago.
Watch the video, & look at the people who are not into it. I'd venture that half the crowd has a bemused posture.

Where would you get that impression?
Wallnau worked hand-in-glove with AFPI to get Trump elected. Paula White-Cain maintains her perch as gatekeeper to Trump for religious leaders.
If anything, I'd argue they are more entwined with the MAGA leadership now than before.

This excellent long-form piece in @TheAtlantic by @mccrummens shows just how outdated the conventional wisdom about the "religious right" is.
The ascendant Christian supremacist movt surrounding Trump is ready to conquer as much cultural territory as possible in the next 4 yrs.
A radical Christian movement plans to tear down the secular state, @mccrummens reports: “Although the secular establishment has struggled to take all of this seriously, Trump has harnessed this apocalyptic energy to win the presidency twice.” theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…

One way to become an American: For a Peruvian kid and his fellow recruits from Iraq, Iran, Ghana and the Dominican Republic, becoming a citizen meant first becoming a soldier.... excellent via @GregJaffe @missy_ryan
The story of Sebastian Villaorduna (a new citizen and soldier) and his undocumented mother Daysi is a story about what it means to be and become an American. @missy_ryan and me.

Like @mccrummens, I also have watched many hours of “FlashPoint.” (Story here: nbcnews.com/news/us-news/fla…)
The question on my mind this morning: What’s the cost of convincing viewers that the election is a spiritual war against Satan, and that Trump was chosen by God?
