Amon the many important points in this by @jamellebouie.net : the sheer bizarreness of combining a constitutional theory in which the president, personally, has untrammelled authority with an administration in which the president personally barely participates.

You think you're SCARING me by saying the Epstein Files may have compromising photos of Bill Clinton? 😅😂🤣 Bring it on! If he committed crimes – or ANYONE did, from ANY party – lock 'em up. Can you say the same about Trump?

One argument I used to make to my students about why it was important to learn history (and historical thinking) is that someone was always going to be trying to tell you things were natural or had always been this way and that you needed to be able to see that as an exercise of power.

Sir you are the provider of bad news for Republicans
Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

Y'all, I just wrote an answer to a question about the sensationalized news headlines circulating about the Chernobyl containment structure.
The bottom line is that there's a hole in the structure, which is not good, but it's not the end of containment, which some reports make it sound like.

The way this is being reported is extremely irresponsible.
There is a hole in the containment structure, about 10 feet across. No other damage is reported. That hole can allow some of the dusty radioactive material to escape.
That is what "can no longer do its job of containment" means.
