Finished: The Rising Tide, by Jeff Shaara 📚. A historical novel covering WWII’s Mediterranean Front roughly from the tank battles of North Africa to the Allied invasion of Italy. It mixes the prime movers (Rommel, Eisenhower, and so on) with a couple of regular soldiers. As far as I can tell the historical content is accurate, though much of the dialog is clearly imagined. Does a good job of showing the political side of the upper echelons of the military.

Judge: Trump Administration ‘Unquestionably’ Violated Court Order on Deportations
And they’ll no doubt violate his order of remedies too. The Constitutional crisis is here, and there may not be any way to stop it.
Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn’t warning the public like it was months ago
So the way to make America healthy again is just to claim that there are no diseases. Seems legit.
Trump administration accepts Qatari 747 to serve as Air Force One
Even loud objections from (some) Republican members of Congress isn’t enough to rein in this administration’s blatant corruption.
Prediction: this jet will never fly as Air Force One. It’s going to cost more and take longer to retrofit for security and defense than the Trump people are claiming.
Nice 20-mile hike today. www.alltrails.com/explore/m…
Photos will follow but right now I’m exhausted.
