It's hard to imagine any prior CIA director issuing such a blatantly partisan statement. Particularly at a time like this.
It's so far off the charts of how a national security official should behave that I initially thought it must be fake. But per NPR, apparently not:

Four out of five doctors recommend drinking only in moderation.
The other one thinks they're just limp-dicked killjoys, and recommends an occasional binge-'til-you're-blind bender as part of a responsible health regimen.

Most people know that binge drinking, especially when it’s frequent, is dangerous for health. But is it still risky if you drink rarely, or not at all, for most of the year? We asked experts.
Is It OK to Binge Drink Occasionally?

3. Ticketmaster's gouging is one thing hated equally across the entire political spectrum. Can't GOP & Dems unite to force America's most-hated company to behave a little less awfully?
(They could. They choose not to.)

Well, men have been ignored throughout most of human history...
The cover of Vanity Fair’s 32nd Hollywood issue is all about men, featuring stars like Jeremy Allen White, ASAP Rocky and Glen Powell. It is the first edition of the magazine that is entirely under the direction of its new editor Mark Guiducci. Why men, now?

Is there going to be an app we can use when we have a gunshot wound and need to determine which emergency room is cheaper tonight?
Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."

The GOP's (near) unanimous vote had nothing to do with discovery of a spine:
🔷They fought release of the #EpsteinFiles tooth and nail. Once ALL Dems + 4 crossovers had sufficient votes, the other ~200 GOP in the House (and all 53 in the Senate) were too scared to vote in favor of hiding pedophilia.
