No I think the answer (and it's happened to Christopher Walken, Giancarlo Esposito and many others) is over time they get hired to do a caricature of their best roles. That's how you go from Pacino's brief Godfather yelling "In my house?!" to the parody of it in Heat.

I completely agree that the details of his plans were standard Republican fare. But he was also repeatedly saying things in public like promising to raise his own taxes or giving everyone better health care coverage to confuse the issue for less engaged voters. Or just, y'know, morons like Dowd.

Trump was promising to replace Obamacare with a cheaper plan on day one, and repeatedly said he was open to raising taxes on the wealthy.

Even if it was completely innocent - if Trump puts up a judge with a large nazi tattoo, do we want to be able to take the moral high ground and say that's unacceptable or not? Look no further than the GOP texts: If we don't draw a line at nazi tattoos RIGHT FUCKING NOW we will regret it very soon.

The only thing Republicans didn't like about Byrd was that he stopped supporting them after opposing the VRA and became a Democrat. If he was a Trump appointee exposed as a KKK member today then JD Vance would go out and yell at you for caring about minutiae.

When I say the MAGA movement is post-truth, this is the sort of thing I mean. Push blatant lies in advance of an event, see overwhelming evidence that the lies were false, know that others saw it too, but plow ahead with the same lies, opposed to the notion that living in factual reality matters.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Hamas has released all 20 remaining living hostages.

The Israeli military says it has taken custody of them and will transport them onward to Israel. Follow AP's live updates.
