As we begin another week on [indictment]( watch, Kelly Rissman [finds]( Donald Trump attacking the justice system and celebrating the Jan. 6 rioters during his weekend rally in Waco, which coincided with the [30th anniversary]( of the siege. (As John Erick Dowdle, who co-developed new Showtime series Waco: The Aftermath, recently told Vanity Fair: “Without Waco, the January 6 insurrection would not have happened, full stop.”) Now, delving even deeper into the American right, in [an excerpt]( from The Undertow, Jeff Sharlet visits with the doomsaying diners at Lauren Boebert’s (now-shuttered) Shooter’s Grill. “Things are going down the hole. Fast,” says one. Plus, Caleb Ecarma [explores]( how the “open borders” myth pushed in right-wing media might be helping fuel the migration crisis. Thanks for reading.
