Fauci’s private writings surface before tense Senate clash with Rand Paul

Sen. Rand Paul subpoenaed Dr. Anthony Fauci for a combative upcoming Senate hearing and released Fauci’s 2019–2022 diaries. The 1,100+ pages show Fauci’s rising celebrity, his media strategy, and concerns about the Covid-19 response, including tensions with Trump and Biden administrations. The diary release came as Paul has pushed controversial claims about gain‑of‑function research and Fauci’s conduct, with Paul suggesting perjury charges could be possible if Fauci lies during the hearing; Biden had preemptively pardoned Fauci for past remarks, and observers expect the hearing to yield limited new disclosures.

RFK Jr.: A Lifetime of Reckless Judgment and Public Health Risk

RFK Jr.: A Lifetime of Reckless Judgment and Public Health Risk

A Bulwark review of Isabel Vincent's RFK Jr.: The Fall and Rise argues Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a uniquely self-centered figure, tracing his path from prankish youth and drug use to a lifelong quest for a distinct identity, then detailing his pivot to anti-vaccine activism and controversial leadership at HHS under Trump. Vincent leverages Kennedy’s diaries (1999–2001) to show a man hungry for more and prone to dishonesty, whose public-health stances have contributed to the measles resurgence and faced pushback from scientists and courts; the piece closes pessimistic that his fortunes will rebound, even as he launches a podcast to push greater transparency in government.

Utah momfluencer Ruby Franke and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, were sentenced to up to 30 years in prison for child abuse. Franke's handwritten diaries, released by the Washington County attorney’s office, detail disturbing abuses including starvation, grueling labor, and attempted drowning of her children, motivated by religious extremism. Franke referred to her children as "spawns of Satan" and used extreme punishments, such as shaving their heads and denying them beds, to break their ties with the devil. The diaries also reveal Hildebrandt's involvement in the abuse. Franke and Hildebrandt's actions were deemed necessary to cast out evil spirits from the children's bodies.

Thanksgiving in Maine: A Forgotten Feast from a Century Ago

A researcher in Maine has examined diaries written by Maine women from the 1870s to the 1940s to gain insight into how Mainers celebrated Thanksgiving over 100 years ago. The diaries reveal that there were various ways of celebrating the holiday during that time period, with some women having parties and feeling happy, while others felt sad or didn't go anywhere. The diaries also provide a glimpse into the Thanksgiving menus of the past, with chicken often being served instead of turkey, and pie being a beloved staple of New England Thanksgiving cuisine. The researcher finds these small details fascinating, as they offer a glimpse into both historic events and everyday life.
