We hereby retire the “record scratch-Freeze frame-You may be wondering how I got here” meme.

It’s over. It will never be topped by this image.

Has Trump ever been like this around anyone? Like not just politician, or world leader, but even family member…like literally anyone?

It’s bizarre, but we will take it!

My left cred maybe not looking so hot on this post but if some photo ops are what it takes to avoid more intense NYC ICE raids then so be it

I fear that many more of us will find ourselves asking the same question unless we can end this nightmare soon.

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.

Got it.

THIS IS BIG

For non-academics who might not understand why:
1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house
2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.

60 Attorneys on the Year of Chaos Inside Trump’s Justice Department (Gift Article) Sixty former staffers describe an environment of suspicion and intimidation within the nation’s most powerful law enforcement agency.

“They described being asked to drop cases for political reasons, to find evidence for flimsy investigations and to take positions in court they thought had no legitimate basis.”

This is a wild and distressing read

My daughter is 15, a child with a baby face whom I won’t even put in an Uber by herself. Just utterly disgusting from the same people who have spent years demonizing trans people as predators for daring even to exist. What are we even doing right now?

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Folks, the reporting is that Trump is making PERSONAL CALLS to Mace, MTG and others about the discharge petition. Would you be doing this if you had nothing to hide? Let's please all be serious here.

This is the biggest political scandal in modern presidential history. No question about it.

A sitting president covering-up his deep relationship with a convicted pedophile—who claims he actively participated in his crimes.
