The Resist! Historians, as you might call them, would not be possible if not for the American center-left’s increasingly romantic view of expertise. It (and the Democratic Party) have over the past 30 years come to be dominated by the most well-educated: Roughly 60 percent of people with graduate degrees lean blue. The nation’s best students are now collected in one political corner utterly unwilling to question the teacher’s competence. She is, after all, the teacher.

Just two days ago, Ms. Pirro appeared defiant, promising to appeal Judge Boasberg’s ruling quashing the subpoenas. At a news conference, she assailed the decision, saying it was unacceptable that “a judge can stand at the door of a grand jury and tell a prosecutor you’re not allowed to go in.”

Wikipedia screenshot: The Loveday Richard Neville, Earl of Salisbury, depicted on a contemporary manuscript Richard Neville, Earl of Salisbury; York's closest political ally and head of the powerful northern Neville family. The pact was announced on 25 March, or Lady Day (the Feast of the Annunciation of the Virgin). Henry—"thanking God for their having reaching accord"—joined his wife and nobles on a celebratory procession[88] from Westminster to London.[71] Leading the parade were Somerset and Salisbury—36 years older than the duke—followed by Exeter with Warwick, then "the King alone, wearing his crown and royal robes"[89] between them all. Finally came York and Queen Margaret. All parties held hands: a later chronicle described how "one of the one faction, and another of the other sect, and behind the King, the Duke of Yorke led the Queene with great familiaritie to all mens sighte".[90]

Form and Syntax: Disrupted punctuation and fragmented lines reflect modernist tendencies, aligning with early 20th-century experimentation. The run-on lines and collapsing syntax mirror the incoherence of jingoistic platitudes.

Email from Parker Olson: Hi Andrew, Just caught your interview on Sean Kelly on Movies Podcast - great job on that! Quick thing: are you planning to do more podcast appearances soon? I ask because what you shared would resonate with so many other audiences. The challenge is most people don't realize how much time it takes to find the right shows, craft personalized pitches, and handle the follow ups. That's exactly what PodPitch solves. We're like having a personal booking agent, but at a fraction of the cost. Our users typically land 6-10 interviews per month without spending hours on outreach. If you're interested in scaling your podcast presence, I'd love to show you how it works. Takes about a quick 10 minutes.
