Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Donald Trump's approval rating collapses with rural Americans Rural voters have long been a cornerstone of Trump's base, and any slippage in their support could have major implications for future Republican success.

I didn't hunt down terrorists around the world so that Mike Lawler could have seniors dragged out of town halls like criminals.

Europe’s choice is clear.

To put science at the heart of its economy.

To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration.

And to welcome talent from all over the world.

I’m glad to present the first elements of our Choose Europe Initiative.

Ethereum down 57% from its all-time high, but it’s still worth more than Toyota Ethereum's price is significantly below its all-time high, but its market capitalization remains substantial. Ethereum's valuation exceeds that of major global companies like Toyota and Disney. If Ethereum were a company, it would rank among the top fifty largest in the world. Experts attribute Ethereum's valuation to speculative interest and its role in new financial technologies. While Ethereum is infrastructure rather than a business, its value is tied to usage and its future potential. The transition to proof-of-stake enhanced Ethereum's appeal as a deflationary asset. Recent data indicates that Ethereum is currently experiencing inflation, depending on network activity. Ethereum's market capitalization is also larger than Greece's GDP. Analysts see this as a signal of legitimacy and a reflection of Ethereum's future role in digital infrastructure. Ethereum's ongoing development, with innovations like native rollups, further enhances its capabilities.

Obviously, Jeffrey Goldberg has the texts that Hegseth claims that he doesn’t have. The Senate or House Armed Services Chairs can easily and quickly verify who is lying about this. If Hegseth blatant lied about this on camera tonight, how in the world can he continue in this job?
