NBN Book of the Day - Gavriel D. Rosenfeld and Janet Ward, “Fascism in America: Past and Present” (Cambridge UP, 2023)
Has fascism arrived in America?
In Fascism in America: Past and Present (Cambridge UP, 2023), Gavriel D. Rosenfeld and Janet Ward have gathered experts to survey the history of fascism in the United States. Although the US established a staunch anti-fascist reputation by defeating the Axis powers in World War II, the unsettling truth is that fascist ideas have long been present within American society. Since the election of Donald Trump as President in 2016, scholars have debated whether Trumpism should be seen as an outgrowth of American conservatism or of a darker – and potentially fascist – tradition. Fascism in America contributes to this debate by examining the activities of interwar right-wing groups like the Silver Shirts, the KKK, and the America First movement, as well as the post-war rise of Black antifascism and white vigilantism, the representation of American Nazis in popular culture, and policy options for combating right-wing extremism.
Gavriel David Rosenfeld is President of the Center for Jewish History in New York City and Professor of History at Fairfield University. His areas of academic specialization include the history of Nazi Germany, memory studies, and counterfactual history.

Everything Everywhere Daily - A Brief History of Nothing
One of the most difficult concepts for early thinkers to get their heads around was the idea of nothing.
Everywhere we go, all our lives, there is something. There is air and matter that surrounds us everywhere because if there weren’t, we wouldn’t be here.
Eventually, scientists and philosophers became comfortable with the idea of nothing and were able to study it. What they found was that nothing was actually something.
Learn more about vacuums and how the concept of it was accepted and then eventually created and put to use on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

What A Day - Biden Exits The Race, Kamala Harris Races To Replace Him
President Joe Biden announced Sunday he is ending his re-election bid and is throwing his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic Party’s nominee in November. It’s the latest bombshell shakeup to this year’s presidential race. Biden said in a statement, “I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.” In her own statement, Harris said she intends to “earn and win the nomination.” Within hours, a number of big-name Democrats endorsed Harris, though party leadership remained notably quiet on her candidacy as of late Sunday. California Democratic Congresswoman Barbara Lee talks about why she thinks it’s time for the party to unite around Harris, while Axios National Political Correspondent Alex Thompson explains what’s next for Harris to successfully campaign.

The Best One Yet - 🫏“Kamala-nomics” — The VP’s biz plan. Sabrina Carpenter’s ice cream strategy. Mercedes & Goldman’s electric cars.
President Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed his VP Kamala Harris… so we jumped into “Kamala-nomics.”
Taylor Swift dropped 34 different versions of her latest album… it’s a growth hack inspired by ice cream.
Starbucks, Mercedes, and Goldman Sachs just partnered up… for electric car charging stations.
Plus, the newest hotel perk… is robot massages (and one startup is selling all of ‘em).

Short Wave - The Brain Makes A Lot Of Waste. Here’s How It Cleans Itself Up
Scientists have long studied the relationship between sleep and the brain, and why poor sleep is linked to neurological diseases like Alzheimer's. NPR science correspondent Jon Hamilton talks to host Regina G. Barber about the brain's washing system and the particular sound researchers have found that seems to turn it on in mice.

The Daily Signal - Security Expert: Trump Was ‘a Gust of Wind Away’ From Being Assassinated
Security expert Brian Cavanaugh says former President Donald Trump was “a gust of wind away” from being assassinated on July 13th.
“To have a round pierce your ear, which is attached to your head, we're talking less than two millimeters away,” says Cavanaugh, a senior vice president at American Global Strategies.
For a bullet to come so close to taking the former president’s life, Cavanaugh said it causes one to think Trump was saved through “divine intervention.”
Cavanaugh formerly served as executive director for Strategic Planning and Integration for the Department of Homeland Security’s Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office. During a conversation with “The Daily Signal Podcast” at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last week, Cavanaugh assessed the security failures of the Secret Service following the attemp on the former president’s life during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, 33 miles north of Pittsburgh.
The building that the shooter targeted Trump from was about 150 yards away from the stage where Trump was speaking, according to Cavanaugh, who called it “absolutely baffling” that the building was not part of the Secret Service’s inner security perimeter.
Kimberly Cheatle, director of the Secret Service, will testify before the House Oversight Committee on Monday, amid calls for her resignation following the attempt on Trump’s life.
On today’s episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast,” Cavanaugh details what is known about the security breakdown at the rally and whether blame does fall on the head of the Secret Service for Trump’s near assassination.
