The Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis

Michael Lewis wrote a chilling book called The Fifth Risk about the first Trump Administration’s utter indifference to good government—it begins with Jared Kushner throwing out months of transition prep work because he hated Chris Christie—and that was the Golden Age of Pericles compared to this mess.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
