Some of you have been asking what book(s) to start with, here's a post to cover 4 primary answers depending on what you like -- there are lots more than just these, and all but one of these are multi-book series. If you're into traditional thrillers, then Perimeter and Multiverse are likely good book 1 choices, though if you ask me, I'd suggest starting with Perimeter because they're related series. Darwin's Cipher is a medical thriller and Primordial Threat is a heavy on the science and mildly futuristic Science Fiction Thriller. Below are the basic descriptions: 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫: (geni.us/Gn1TlOA) Levi Yoder is a man who solves problems—Mafia problems. But when he’s diagnosed with terminal cancer, there’s nothing left to fix. He prepares to die… until the impossible happens—he learns that he's in complete remission. Before he can make sense of his second chance, Levi is thrust into a deadly game of international espionage. The CIA claims the Russian mob is gunning for him, but the truth is even more dangerous—someone wants him dead because of something his late wife did. As Levi navigates a web of deceit, organized crime, and shadowy intelligence forces, he faces an enemy he might not be able to outmaneuver. Can he uncover the truth before he and his family become collateral damage? 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞: (geni.us/3zby0R) 𝐌𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄 – 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞 What if your greatest scientific breakthrough became humanity’s biggest threat? Michael Salomon, a brilliant particle physicist, has just unlocked the secrets of tachyons—faster-than-light particles that could rewrite the laws of reality. But before he can even share his discovery, his research is seized by the government, and a stranger—one who knows his future—warns him that his work has already shattered time itself. A waking nightmare grips him: visions of a child he hasn’t lost—yet. A government that now hunts him. A student who remembers things they haven’t done—yet. Michael’s experiment didn’t just open a door; it shattered the walls between past, present, and future. Now, he must race against time—before the version of himself that already went too far dooms them all. From a 𝐔𝐒𝐀 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 best-selling author, 𝘔𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦 is a high-stakes sci-fi thriller that bends time, twists reality, and asks the ultimate question: 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞? 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐰𝐢𝐧'𝐬 𝐂𝐢𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫: (geni.us/94LpxLR) A revolutionary discovery. A lethal new threat. A race against time to save humanity. In Darwin’s Cipher, brilliant cancer researcher Juan Gutierrez uncovers a hidden genetic algorithm that can predict the path of a species’ evolution over millennia. His breakthrough offers a tantalizing hope for overcoming human vulnerability to disease—but shadowy forces have their own sinister plans for this genetic super-tool. When an FBI analyst investigating bizarre, unsolved cases is called out to a ranch with a single surviving calf surrounded by dead cattle, the DNA evidence points to something far beyond the ordinary. Meanwhile, a newborn child with an impossible genome sets off alarms at the NIH—and the race to contain a nightmarish outbreak begins. From hidden labs to high-security bio-containment units, Darwin’s Cipher hurtles you into a nerve-shredding chase where science, conspiracy, and evolution collide—with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about our genetic destiny. 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭: (geni.us/ye6Y) The year is 2066, and the world is oblivious to the threat it faces. The fate of humanity lies on the shoulders of Burt Radcliffe, the new head of NASA's Near Earth Object program.

𝘞𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦.” Hegseth said. The current pay process dates back to 2009 and has produced a growing backlog of disputes, 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐬, and delayed benefits for service members who’ve already earned every dollar. Hegseth called the status quo “unacceptable” and said it ends now. “𝘞𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬.

It’s a small line item next to a carrier strike group, but for a sergeant waiting on a paycheck, it’s everything. This is the kind of fix that doesn’t make headlines — until the troops who’ve been shorted for years finally stop getting shorted. 𝐏𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭.

Trump didn't push back on that framing — he just started listing receipts instead. “𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 … 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬? 160,000 𝘫𝘰𝘣𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬.

His answer doubled as a report card on five months of pressure. No American soldier lost in that stretch, he said, with the Gulf under U.S. control and a Venezuela operation already in the win column. Then came the real headline. “𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘱𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 301 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘦.

She wasn't talking about one justice over one ruling. She was talking about the 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐭𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 — because it keeps ruling in ways she doesn't like. Minutes later, incoming House Minority Leader 𝐉𝐢𝐦 𝐉𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐧 previewed what's actually coming: “𝘐𝘵'𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘥 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴.

Congress has spent two centuries legislating on war powers, nuclear arsenals, and trillion-dollar budgets without members narrating their own biology on C-SPAN. Jacobs wants that to change, and she's proud to be the one who started it. 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲. Source: @RealAmVoice nitter.gq/RealAmVoice/status/212…

No serious injuries have been confirmed, and the full extent of the damage to either aircraft is still being assessed. It’s the kind of incident that normally draws a shrug — two jets brushing wingtips on a crowded taxiway — except it’s landing on an aviation system already stretched thin. Miami International has spent the past several days absorbing diverted traffic from the nationwide FAA ground stop, and every added ground mishap means more airplanes stuck exactly where they shouldn’t be.

Here's why nearly half the country isn't buying it. Conservative Sen. 𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘰 𝘉𝘰𝘭𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘰 — son of former president Jair Bolsonaro — led after the first round, a result the article calls a surprise reversal in the runoff. On election day, Supreme Court Justice 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐙𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧 ordered polling stations to stay open two extra hours. The order was published at 5:01 p.m. — 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 — and voting-machine security locks meant they couldn't be reopened anyway. Zanin's history matters here: he previously served as 𝘓𝘶𝘭𝘢'𝘴 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺 in the corruption case that got Lula convicted before his conviction was later annulled and he returned to power. Flavio, who left for Miami after a separate corruption probe stripped his passport, isn't backing down. “𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘦'𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥.” he told Glenn Greenwald.

But I think it’s important to understand why people believe what they believe, and most Americans have never heard the Russian case for Putin explained by someone who lived through what came before him. The creator was born in 1992 in Russia’s Rostov region, on the Ukrainian border, and describes those years plainly: “𝘕𝘰 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥, 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘥∗𝘦𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘧 𝘐’𝘮 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴.” That isn’t an exaggeration of the era. After the Soviet collapse, hyperinflation wiped out people’s savings, insiders grabbed the country’s oil and metals for a fraction of their value, and in 1998 the government defaulted.

Then came Putin, and with him, an oil boom. In 2000, 42.3 million Russians, 29% of the country, lived below the official poverty line. By 2007 it was 18.7 million. From 1999 to 2008, Russia’s economy nearly doubled. 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. The creator puts the loyalty this way: “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴. 𝘉𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘗𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘯.” Where the video goes wrong is in the sales pitch. It claims Russia doesn’t have school s∗ootings. It does. A gunman k!lled nine people at a school in Kazan in 2021, six were k!lled at Perm State University that fall, and 18 were k!lled at a school in Izhevsk in 2022. It claims Russia has no immigration problem, yet the gunmen charged in the 2024 Crocus City Hall massacre, which k!lled more than 140 people near Moscow, were from Tajikistan. And the boom years came with a bill: rigged elections, critics jailed or dead, Alexei Navalny’s death in an Arctic prison, and a war in Ukraine that Western governments estimate has cost Russia hundreds of thousands of casualties.

𝐌𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐒: 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐄 𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐓 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐎𝐑 𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐒 — 𝐈𝐓’𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐘 𝐀 𝐅𝐄𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐅𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐘 Conservative legal strategist Mike Davis says the Trump administration doesn't need new legislation to go after sanctuary politicians and the businesses that hire illegal labor — the law already exists. “𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘧𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘺.” Davis said, citing the same federal harboring statute, 8 U.S.C. 1324, he's pushed prosecutors to use for over a year. He didn't stop at businesses: “𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘴.” Davis also argued Treasury already has the authority to cut off banking access entirely for illegal aliens and the sanctuary officials who shield them. This isn't just talk on a podcast. Attorney General 𝐏𝐚𝐦 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢 has already warned sanctuary cities and states they could face criminal charges for shielding illegal aliens, and the Justice Department has opened reviews of local compliance with the administration's immigration crackdown.

𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐏: 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐓 $𝟑 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐒 𝐖𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐃𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐒 President Trump isn’t blaming himself for last week’s historic market plunge — he’s pointing straight at the midterm results. “𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 $3 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺.” He’s not exaggerating the number. The S&P 500 shed an estimated $𝟐.𝟗 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 on Nov. 5, the single largest one-day wipeout on record, and the Nasdaq lost a record $2.5 trillion of its own as tech stocks cratered (Dow Jones Market Data). The Financial Times put the combined figure even higher, at $3.2 trillion. Trump’s framing cuts through the hedge-fund spin about “𝘈𝘐 𝘣𝘶𝘣𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴” that financial media reached for instead: investors spooked by a Democrat Congress that’s already promising to shut down data centers and strangle the industries powering the boom. “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥 $3 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘯.” He paired it with a reminder of what his administration actually delivered before the vote: 𝐧𝐨 𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐮𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐧, a regime that “𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨” in response, and oil prices still 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐛𝐚𝐦𝐚. Midterm losses are historically routine for a sitting president’s party — Trump even said so himself. A $3 trillion one-day gut-punch to Main Street retirement accounts is not.
