Just incredibly honored to report from London that @hoffman_bruce and I were awarded the 2024 Neave Book Prize by @TrustAirey and @PoolReinsurance. Our book was dedicated to all those who suffer from hate and extremism. Needless to say, this award is for them too.

A fascinating wrinkle in a post-J6 plot: "Mr. Kelley’s lawyers sought to have his assassination case thrown out as well, arguing that the crimes he was charged with had emerged from the investigation on Jan. 6 and thus were covered by Mr. Trump’s pardon."

On January 6, “he told other rioters who were attacking law enforcement officers, ‘Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!’”. Now, he’s “responsible for the department’s official effort to exact revenge against those who had tried to hold the rioters accountable.”

"It's a killing field.". "Our form of communication is gunfire.". "The loss of human life means nothing.". A brave and utterly damning report on killings at food distribution sites in #Gaza, from @nirhasson, @yanivkub, and @bar_peleg in @haaretzcom.

ICYMI, I recently reviewed Prophet Song and its American cousin It Can’t Happen Here for @ILLSP_GWU. Unfortunately, "those who would pick up either of these books in search of hope and optimism at a troubling moment will be dismayed."

I also recommended @paullynchwriter's magisterial Prophet Song, a haunting story about the entrenchment of far-right totalitarian government in Ireland, and one family’s refusal and then desperation to flee. Winner of the 2023 Booker Prize.

I’m so deeply honored to contribute to the @WarOnTheRocks 2025 Summer Fiction Reading List… and of course, I recommend @peterwsinger and @august_cole's stellar Ghost Fleet, easily the best book I have read in the IR field. Truly a must read.

I'm thinking tonight of the survivors of the October 2018 Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history. Their bravery built @EradicateHate_. For their sacrifice to be dismissed as a "grift" is shameful.

"However, while competing with adversaries and near-peer rivals is a regular part of statecraft, American policymakers and government officials have struggled to recognize that great-power competition and counterterrorism are not mutually exclusive.". Yep.
