1. We launched @TheAtlIdeas just under a year ago, to create a home for perspectives, arguments, and essays. Working alongside @julietlapidos and @danteramos, I’ve seen the results exceed my wildest expectations.
2. Now, we’re expanding—adding three senior editors to our team. If you’re excited about the work we’re doing here, and want to help us expand the array of voices we’re bringing to the public conversation, think about joining us: theatlantic.com/press-releases…
3. Details on the openings are here: atlanticmedia.theresumator.com/apply/jobs/det…?

1. This @amandamull call to revive the culture of, well, calling is really great: theatlantic.com/health/archive…
@amandamull 2. It made me remember that early phone monopolies resisted using the serious, expensive device for mere “sociability” or for “frivolous” calls. It was ordinary consumers who turned the phone into a prime instrument of sociability.
@amandamull 3. Multiparty lines—which brought the new technology to the working classes on an economical basis—gave this a whole new dimension, allowing “rubbering” from nosy neighbors. “You got better programs on it than you ever did on the radio,” one farmer reminisced.

If anyone needs some beach reading:
2. "I have heretofore expressed the opinion that we should purchase Iceland and Greenland, but especially the latter. The reasons are political and commercial…."
3. "By this great purchase [of Alaska] we have flanked British America on the Arctic and Pacific … pressed between Alaska on the north and California, Oregon, and Washington Territory on the south, with even British Columbia now being rapidly Americanized."

1. Last month, @jdmortenson wrote in The Atlantic about his scholarship on “executive power,” looking to the 18th century bookcase to show the phrase didn’t mean what most scholars have thought: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
@jdmortenson 2. If you had any lingering doubts about that argument, today he dropped the hammer—using founding-era records to document that the Framers meant what he said they meant: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
3. Does this sound like an abstract academic debate? The stakes here couldn’t be higher—whether a president retains quasi-monarchical authority over national security and foreign affairs, or whether he can exercise only those powers that Congress delegates.

@realDonaldTrump @foxandfriends No. You just changed your talking point (green text). The job-growth trend (blue line), not so much.

Your administration was born on 3rd base & you want to con us into thinking you hit a triple. Americans aren't falling for it. #NoFool
@realDonaldTrump @foxandfriends Job growth has basically just continued on the inherited trend. But slowed a little.
@realDonaldTrump @foxandfriends Same story with the unemployment rate. It's low & that's wonderful.

It's low thanks to progress so steady over so many years. Check out the trend over the last 12 years. Inherited progress has slowed.

Hmmmm. FBI agent Joseph Pientka....gee where have I heard that name before?

OH THAT'S RIGHT.

I wrote an entire column about him back on January 23!

"Why FBI Special Agent Joseph Pientka Is The DOJ's Invisible Man"

theepochtimes.com/why-fbi-specia…
Mike Gaeta = Professor Joseph Mifsud's FBI handler in Rome.

Where Mifsud's been hiding out for 2 years ever since his name went public.
Despite some people like CNN's .@AshaRangappa_ desperately clinging to the hoax narrative that Maltese Mifsud is some kinda Russian agent, he was actually working for the FBI when he sought to entrap Trump campaign adviser .@GeorgePapa19.

CNN should fire her and hire me. 😏

1) This is @johntory, yesterday.

Can we talk about the “incredibly challenging budget year given the $80 million shortfall in land transfer tax revenue”?
2) Every year, the City Council budget deliberations begin with a presentation by the City Manager.

For the last half-decade, that presentation has included a warning related to the need for sustainable revenue sources, and over-reliance on land transfer tax revenue growth.
3) I couldn’t find the video, but in 2014 Joe Pennachetti spoke frankly to Council about the need for higher-than-inflation property tax increases.

Manafort’s boss Deripaska maintains majority in his company after @stevenmnuchin1 @realDonaldTrump lifted sanctions on his companies.
Said this a year ago while following the story on the Russian side.
Republicans working to help Putin while hurting govt workers

Russian media last year said they were working on making Mnuchin theirs and they sure did. From a year ago! This is what Russians do

Home
no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied

WHY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA'S NARRATIVE ON MICHAEL FLYNN IS COMICALLY ABSURD.

1) It was under a year ago that @GenFlynn called up the then-Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak to discuss the sanctions the Obama admin. had imposed the previous day.
2) As a private citizen soon to be then President-Elect Donald Trump's top national security advisor, Flynn was making this call on an unsecured line.
3) A 33 year veteran of the international & military spy wars, Flynn well knew every phone call Kislyak receives is carefully monitored, recorded and transcripted by the US intelligence community.
