Yes, this made sense as the right next book.

Some exciting news. So excited to write about JQA with Basic Books, with JQDA by my side, naturally.

My ❤️🐶.

Last week, I had the privilege of visiting the Truman Presidential Library. I gave a talk on The Cabinet and spoke the next morning for teachers about the foundations of the republic in Washington and Adams’s administrations. Teachers+books+the material culture of oval offices= a winning trip.

If you are looking to better understand how the past shapes our current moment, @americanstudier.bsky.social compiles an amazing list every week. Highly recommend!

And thank you Ben for including Imperfect Union!

So looking forward to talking about my research on genealogy in early America at Mount Vernon’s GW library Tuesday night! Free, fun, and the weather looks to be Virginia gorgeous. www.mountvernon.org/plan-your-vi...

Yesterday, I filmed an interview on the Revolution in an 18th-century kitchen. As one does. So much good stuff coming out next year!

Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).

It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.

It has written majority opinions in only 3.

Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

Sunday morning with my ❤️🐶. Best part of every weekend.

He has refused his Assent to Laws…

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world…

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury…

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences…

The Nation the Army Built America had to work to construct its identity.

“The anniversary of Washington taking command is a reminder that the Army’s effort to forge a lasting American bond was just the beginning of a long and difficult process. Their goal is our goal, and it’s still worth fighting for,” @lmchervinsky.bsky.social writes:

The 250th anniversary of July 1775 is more important than the one next year. Here’s why I think so 👇🏻. Thanks so much to @theatlantic.com for sharing my work on why the Continental Army was the first step toward national identity formation.

I love it 9 months out of the year, but I question my life choices from June-August.

Oh yes! It was GLORIOUS

Virginia is going to have a heat index of 110 this week and will require a swimsuit to deal with the humidity. I'll take rain any day.

I had the loveliest couple of days in Oregon wine country. It was so nice to be offline for a short break, but the Virginia weather forecast welcoming me back is 😱.

ICYMI, for this month's Imperfect Union, I wrote about a critical Washington precedent that shaped how most presidents have approached military parades. Check your inboxes or subscribe today. imperfectunion.substack.com/p/the-histor...

Thank you friend!

Love this description, @lmchervinsky.bsky.social: "Washington’s tours had two purposes. First, he wanted to see the diversity of American life. In 1789, just as today, there were limitless ways to be an American."

United States Institute of Peace USIP was established by Congress in 1984 as an independent institution devoted to the nonviolent prevention and mitigation of deadly conflict abroad.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/
