NYTimes is the journalistic equivalent of somebody robbing you then helping you look for your shit.

Nancy Mace is one of those people who is deeply miserable yet not as miserable as she deserves.

Donald Trump was clocked by a New Jersey gaming inspector on the floor of his casino with Epstein, the 19-year-old Trump was very publicly dating, and two other girls of indeterminate age. Trump bragged about barging into the changing rooms of 14-year-old girls, and the girls confirm he did it.

Once again my son got more candy on two blocks in Brooklyn than I would get in an entire night of trick or treating in the suburb where I grew up – and he did it all while my wife and I went out for drinks with friends around the corner. Dense, walkable neighborhoods for the win!

While out on our Halloween evening ICE patrol, we noticed that Red Vault, an adult fashion/fetish/toy store, had a mannequin with an orange whistle around its neck in the store's front window. They also had a sign declaring ICE was not welcome and were giving away free whistles. I love this city.

One fact I didn't know until just now is that Michael Bloomberg's net worth increased from $55.5 billion in 2019 to $106 billion in 2025. Doubled.

A Democratic Party which wants to be taken seriously again must use its power (if they regain it) to continue the atonement work. No more insurrectionists in the judiciary, or in the legislative branchβ€”ever. The power of the executive *must* be significantly curtailed.

Biden’s longevity in politics meant that when he finally became president in 2020, he had a chance to undo some of the damage caused by legislation he’d championed as a senator. Loan forgiveness, walking a picket line with union members, etc should perhaps be seen as atonement.

Biden helped write the crime bill responsible for a significant increase in mass incarceration. He voted for the authorization for the use of military force that enabled Bush 43 to invade Iraq.

Perhaps the elites hated Biden because he was their manβ€”until he wasn’t. They didn’t call him the senator from MBNA without cause. His legislation as a senator is why you stopped being able to discharge student loans in bankruptcy.

Far too few unfortunately included Biden himself. Whether he passed the baton to his VP with 2 years left instead of 100 days, or a primary chose his successor, perhaps we aren’t in the place we currently find ourselves.

As a case in point, Karl Rove had George W. Bush buy some land in Texas, called it a ranch, and clothed him in blue jeans so he could run for POTUS as a cowboy archetypeβ€”and people fell for it.
