Are we still doing diner journalism? Because today at a greasy spoon in Stateline, Nevada, a 65 year old birder named Maryanne told me that she likes that “Mamdonnelly” fellow and thinks that Donald Trump is a pedophile.

Just ran face-first into Bobby kissing a rosary in The Atlantic, the introductory photo of another lengthy meditation on this man. Can we not be done? Post-felching, can we not, for five minutes, stop attending to him?

This deeply disturbing op-ed by David Brooks suggesting that Epstein's abuse of hundreds of teen-aged girls is some kind of elitist Democratic sidetrack born of Q-Anon conspiracy-think makes my blood boil.

@nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com where are your breaking news banners announcing that the President of the United States has called for the execution of members of Congress?

I love this guy so much.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Trump can't stop naming our new bands. Yesterday he came up with Quiet Piggy, today he gifted us The Wokesters.
Trump on AI: "You can't go through 50 states. You have to get one approval. 50 is a disaster. Because you'll have one woke state and you'll have to do all woke. You'll be back in the woke business. We don't have woke anymore in this country. It's virtually illegal. You'll have a couple of wokesters"

It’s so unsurprising that MAGA thinks the biggest take down is accusing someone of not hating a Jew.
Pro-Trump accounts are spreading a fake, altered picture of Marjorie Taylor Greene with Alex Soros.
The original image is of Alex Soros with Maria Ressa.

The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

hi, yes, nope
I’m not a parent but I’d like to hear a parent respond to this distinction when it comes to their 8yo being a bridge too far but their 15yo being, you know, basically fine.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."
