So they close the curtain on the declaration when they’re criming?
Like “you’re not gonna wanta see this”

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down
TRUMP: Uh huh
MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade?
TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

And dealing with abuses directly led to excellent laws like the Presidential Records Act
But not calling people out led to sen Hawley saying on camera that (basically) Trump can do whatever he wants with the files bc the act “has him covered”
This is why we have to remain vigilant

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

this is like that scene in office space where the consultants end up loving peter

How nice !
Thank you

Yeah
Mike’s great

Alas it remains an enigma

I liked it

I’m unaware but not surprised

The staff that then went on to VEEP could curse in a way that was breathtakingly beautifully original
I remember going to dinner w Tony Roche in London with my kids and he didn’t want to curse in front of them but you could see him so frustrated he continually verged on spontaneously combusting

I remember our standards & practices guy on the DREW CAREY show very proudly shared with us we could now say “butt weasel” on the show
But it really didn’t work in the context of the line & we were all kind of mystified why he brought it up until Ryan posited that Neal just pitched curse words a lot

I’m in

Considering that the other side policies are the real obscenity i think it’s meeting the cultural moment
We’re showing it’s not Queensberry rules anymore
If I’ve learned anything from those incessant diner interviews it’s that his crew admires his brusque candor and direct style
Take it from them

Also she looks genuinely pleased with herself that she cursed

“The judge has left the building”

His bow tie is 🔥

people are reading "catch-and-kill" in the journalistic sense but she was probably just finding raccoons for him to eat

Seriously, as a kid doc, I hate that Cassidy sold out the medical community, public health as well a the Hippocratic and/or Geneva Oath to carry water for Trump. His vote gave Kennedy the power to discredit the CDC for generations to come. Screw this guy.

Thank you

"Well, yes, Mamdani and I have our differences. He's a socialist, they say he's a socialist, and I guess he says so too. A democratic socialist, but a socialist. Meanwhile, I'm busy seizing the means of production, forcing a cultural revolution, cracking down on the intelligentsia ...."

Oh!
I’m a big fan of @anneapplebaum.bsky.social !
Her books are great

Okay, I’ll circle back
