I'm also on a new app called SHOUT. Users shout corrections about obvious errors at the television until their wives tell them that they're trying to sleep.

I’ve been opposed to ICE, but this has changed my mind. They are finally getting the dangerous clarinetists off the streets. No longer do Americans have to fear walking down the street and being assaulted by the opening measures of “Rhapsody in Blue.”

Measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world. It causes blindness, deafness and death. It causes immune amnesia, making victims susceptible to diseases they've had or were immunized against.

Children are suffering because of RFK's MAHA!

Fair point. When I send invoices for freelance pieces, I'm often asked to include whether I prefer to be paid through direct deposit, a paper check, or cold hard cash in a Cava bag at a pre-arranged drop site.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Did Tom Homan give the $50,000 back?

VANCE: He did not take a bribe. It's a ridiculous smear

STEPHANOPOULOS: You didn't answer the question

VANCE: Did he accept $50,000? I'm sure that in the course of Homan's life, he's been paid more than $50k for services.

(So, no, he didn't)

The cruelest thing about the Trump/Kennedy pseudoscience press conference today is that there are now women who believe they caused their child’s autism.

To those women: you didn’t.

Not the biggest issue, but still important: regardless of whether he's doing it on purpose or his brain is mush, there should be a steep political price, with the media questioning his fitness every day, for the President showing he doesn't know the meaning of "asylum."

(Same goes for "tariff.")

The thing about unchecked power is it often makes grave mistakes. One of the reason Putin decided on the folly of war with Ukraine was the lack of those willing to tell him he was making a grave error. I fear @realDonaldTrump will stumble into a war, costing troop’s their lives.

What is the result of increased ICE presence? People afraid to call the police for things like domestic violence.

Donald Trump is making the country less safe.

And again, why are these agents kitted out like they are going into Mogadishu?

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.
