In this week's newsletter, I discuss how Democrats' attacks on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are more about defending the status quo than defending party unity; I have some short notes on (a) how the film Vice is reviving troubling language regarding the Iraq War (b) how liberals and leftists should resist the cult of the presidency (c) the dark Netflix movie Cam; and some reading tips on everything from Trump's burger buffet to why his antics on the wall could cost him 2020.
