Come for the inside view of DOGE's attack on US soft power and foreign policy expertise, stay for the discussion of "The Abandonment of the West"! My interview with the great Michael Kimmage, historian extraordinaire, up now: https://t.co/pj3M4IoiNn

Kimmage discusses idea of the West — as a geopolitical and cultural concept rather than a geographic place.

Interesting to speculate about who Trump would designate to refuse the Nobel Prize on his behalf, a la Marlon Brando at the 1973 Academy Awards
President Trump's Operation Warp Speed was a historic medical achievement that saved millions of lives. I penned an op-ed with @SenJohnBarrasso explaining why President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for this accomplishment. https://t.co/KTlbKoo1PA

I'm adding a link to Steve Teles' paper on the varieties of Abundance, which wasn't out yet when I put the transcript up on my Substack. Love the graphics! https://t.co/dSOrcSXOxy
NEW PAPER: The emerging “Abundance movement” isn’t left, right, or center—it’s a cross-cutting idea. Here are six different camps emerging across the political spectrum. 👇

So glad to have had this podcast interview with Sam Tanenhaus about his enthralling, epic, and finally-published William F. Buckley Jr. biography! The conversation is long too but worth it, imo. I began as Sam's research assistant on this 25+ years ago... https://t.co/DfYgxHtNUX

Sam Tanenhaus talks about Buckley’s historical significance and the unknowable questions of what Buckley might have thought of Donald Trump.

In classic moderate fashion, I’m already getting caught in the crossfire between those who think Harvard deserves three cheers and those who’d give it one or none https://t.co/TzA0pimaDZ

I know a number of Europeans who would strongly endorse the view that none of Catturd’s followers should travel to Europe
Not one person in the USA should travel to Europe. They’re more Fascist and communist than North Korea and China combined. We should declare them all enemies of the United States because they’re the enemies of freedom, and free speech and they’re run by Fascist dictators who

Harvard is now in the administration's crosshairs, as the antisemitism task force is reviewing $255 million in contracts and $8.7 billion in multiyear grants. I interviewed former Harvard president Neil Rudenstine about the history of how we got here: https://t.co/9ldaAKPT9T
