WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is preparing banks to collect citizenship data Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the Trump administration expects banks to comply in collecting citizenship information from customers.

Undocumented immigrants contribute $97 billion yearly in federal, state, and local taxes. They paid $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes, $6.4 billion in Medicare taxes, and $1.8 billion in unemployment insurance taxes in 2022.

Bessent is galactically stupid.

"This novel squeezed by brain out, twisted it in knots, and gently laid it back in my head. Modernized Dorian Gray? HELL. YES." - Alyssa S. INCARNATE now available on @netgalley.bsky.social

Reviewers & bookstagrammers, INCARNATE is now available on Netgalley! Listen to Alyssa s: "This novel squeezed by brain out, twisted it in knots, and gently laid it back in my head. Modernized Dorian Gray? HELL. YES." www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

a photo of a bookshelf showing the spines of multiple Hailey Piper books in alphabetical order. Two are centered, Teenage Girls Can Be Demons and This Movie Doesn't End the Way We Want. The caption reads: For once, two of my Titan Books are next to each other on the shelf. I guess it helps when their titles start with the same letter. A smaller caption reads: ignore the dust.

I put the ARC for THIS MOVIE DOESN'T END THE WAY WE WANT back on the shelf having finished a final final pass (in publishing, you must read your own book about 100 times)

My cursed film horror novel releases in exactly 5 months, on September 15th, when it can get on your shelf too 📽️

Hassett is not an asset.

My thoughts on the Swalwell stuff.

Notice how Democrats always hold their own accountable and Republicans just yell fake news, no matter how vile the evidence is?

The annual fundraising drive for Locus Magazine ends tomorrow (4/14).

Publication *and* review of short fiction is more important than ever. Please lend them your support if you can (and signal boost please)!

2026 Locus Awards Top Ten Finalists Congratulations to all of the Locus Awards top ten finalists! These results are from the February 1 to April 1 voting by readers on an open public ballot. The Locus Awards winners will be announced…

Well I am very surprised. WHY I LOVE HORROR is a finalist for a Locus Award. For this book to be embraced by the Horror community made me so happy, but to see it crossing into the larger "speculative" space is beyond what I thought possible.

Congratulations!

Charlotte Clymer: In the past week, Donald Trump has threatened nuclear war against Iran, called for the genocide of 93 million Iranians, publicly attacked the Pope, and compared himself to Jesus Christ. Recall July of 2024 when every pundit and reporter in American media were urging President Biden to step down due to concerns over his cognitive health. Where are those voices now? Where are the demands for Trump to be removed? Where is the flood of op-eds and cable news panels and social media posts calling for the 25th Amendment to be triggered? Why are you all so silent on this?
