Isn’t it really about consensus? Wouldn’t that make it about a culture? I haven’t heard anyone talk about being empirically sound in the east.

Trump talking about his hopes for life after death is pathetic. I am trying to imagine what it will be like when he finally finds peace.

a remarkable thing abt Bari Weiss is how often the prominent people who say nice things abt her confess they know and like her personally.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back
