Newsweek Bomb cover (Oct. 7, 1991) and letters to the editor a couple of issues later.

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell Flays CNN’s Jake Tapper Over Trump Texts — Suggests They’re Not Really From Trump Lawrence O’Donnell went off on CNN and Jake Tapper over an interview with Trump that O'Donnell suggested could very well have been faked by the White House.

I was hoping for a fashion spread...

YouTube video by MSNBC Lawrence: Trump reveals he’s considering pardoning convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell

Hilarious that @brianstelter.bsky.social would promote Jake Tapper's ridiculous "exclusive" text "interview" of President Donald J. Trump from Sunday. Last night @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com explained why such an interview is a sham.

The new CBS!

Missed the BREAKDOWN (1997) anniversary in May. Here's Janet Maslin's great review. @janetmaslin.bsky.social

DRUGSTORE COWBOY filmed in war-torn Portland, Oregon opened on this day in 1989.

Here’s last night’s story about presidential libraries, how they help shape history, the troubling ways they can be used, and – of course – some tasteful conjecture about one president’s undercarriage. youtu.be/dB1-lg-xZWc

10/06/77 WHITE HOUSE DIARY entry as published in a 2010 book by Jimmy Carter. Per a Carter archivist to me earlier in the year: The full diary is *not* yet available to researchers, despite Carter's pledge in 2010 to make the full record available in "the near future."

11/28/77 entry from WHITE HOUSE DIARY (2010) by Jimmy Carter and his Presidential Daily Diary for the same day. BTW, He does *not* mention a drill in his WH Diary (the published book version, anyway) for 10/6/77. Per a Carter archivist to me: The full diary is not yet available to researchers.

Bari Weiss's letter to CBS News employees (via the New York Times).
