Zbig: a bracing life of Carter’s abrasive national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Polish-born rival of Kissinger, is the subject of a highly readable biography by Edward Luce

"Luce’s "Zbig" is a bracing tome, deeply & meticulously researched, a highly readable reminder of how US and global politics looked and felt during and after the cold war. Brzezinski is portrayed vividly, warts and all." Great early review in @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

Trump harping on making Canada the 51st state, is also insulting to the residents of D.C. a city w/o representation (but where the pop. is higher than that of Wyoming).

The 51st state is right there. Ah but Canada, Trump & Miller think, will help forestall the demographic changes they fear.

Bring It On, Donald: The January 6 Committee Stands on Truth Donald Trump’s latest threat to “jail” members of the January 6 Committee is nothing more than the desperate howl of a man who knows history will regard him with shame.
