Oh dear! My Zoom mtg ended abruptly— I wanted to express my gratitude to Thomas and Lydia for all the podcasts they create and for supporting the book club. And I wanted to thank Matt in particular for the book club concept. Our TLMJ community (Thomas, Lydia, Matt, Janessa) is growing and I really appreciate hearing from other members of this tribe!

2026-09-08 14:00 Once there's suggestions thread I'll mention these there as well, but: it could be interesting to follow Murray's neutral/textbook-style book with a critical take like No Democracy Lasts Forever: How the Constitution Threatens the United States by Erwin Chemerinsky. And for immigration-related fare there's Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here by Jonathan Blitzer, which is 544 pages but looks great. (I haven't read either of these but have been meaning to...)

The Blitzer book has been on my list for so long, but it is just too close to what I already see and do all day and I just don't know if I can read a heartwrenching journalistic account of what my (and your) clients are already telling me about all of the time

Fair, that's why I haven't gotten to it yet as well.
