🚨🚨🚨A Very Special Note from JVL🚨🚨🚨 I’ve got a secret. And it’s not a podcast. πŸ˜‰

My book "How to Eat an Elephant" hits shelves Sept. 8 but it's available for pre-order starting today.

At its core, this book is about communications, persuasion, voters, and how to save America from the toxic forces Trump has unleashed on our politics.

Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

What If the Mullahs Are Smarter Than Trump? True victory through air power has never been tried!

US war planners believed they could prevent Iran from militarily closing the Strait of Hormuz.

But Iran understood that the insurance industry could close it for them. And this reality seems to have caught US leadership totally flat-footed. www.thebulwark.com/p/what-if-th...

It sure looks like the US regime is playing checkers while the Iranian regime plays chess. For instance:

Strongest signal yet from Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D) that he'll give clemency to Tina Peters as President Trump has demanded. Polis notes a fmr Dem State Senator recently got probation on charges that drew prison time for Peters, who unrepentantly defied the judge at sentencing

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

Behind the MAHA Veil It's not about transparency or choice. It's not even about "natural health." It's about making everyone else take their quack cures.

Anti-woke, anti-trans, and MAHA all have one thing in common. They’re trying to hide their real project from you. www.thebulwark.com/p/behind-the...

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports
