Guantánamo Bay: Beyond the Prison-- really enjoyed this profile of the base by @carolrosenberg. I lived on Gitmo for two years as a child- my father was an enlisted Navy air traffic controller. Many of the amenities detailed here came after our tour... nytimes.com/2021/11/26/us/…
But one thing @carolrosenberg reminds me of is that I first ate great Filipino food on the base- lumpia and adobo. And we had giant iguanas and land crabs in the back yard. The enlisted housing was also over run with the cats described here- we brought one back stateside.
Back then, we practiced evacuations. Sometimes we'd board boats in the middle of the night, sometimes cargo planes. We had to be ready of the Cubans or Russians tried to overrun the base, I suppose. They'd cut the lights on the base and I remember the stars were like lanterns.

Incredible letter from two dozen Arizona lawmakers to DOJ and FBI pointing to evidence "Arizona Representatives Mark Finchem, Anthony Kern, Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs encouraged, facilitated, participated and possibly helped plan this anti-democratic insurrection on January 6"

For @politico, @freedlander profiles Dustin Stockton and Jen Lawrence, who produced the Save America rally at the Ellipse on January 6.

"They no doubt spoke to me for this story, in large part, because they thought they could vindicate themselves." politico.com/news/magazine/…
This points to a possible battle between the organizers- those that planned what would happen at the Ellipse, and the President and a fringier contingent that intended to take the crowd to the Capitol. Note: this is their story and they are sticking to it, but we'll see:
Also of note- Stockton says the White House had told him the rally at the Ellipse might go on through the day. This part seems fishy- @freedlander is notably skeptical throughout the piece.
