I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

as the hosts hint that they would like to be invited to watch the movie at the white house, one asks "is there a movie theater in the white house?"

no, dumbass, there is not. It was in the east wing.

I cannot comment on Trump’s Rob Reiner post because I didn’t read it. And when reporters read it aloud to me, I couldn’t hear it because I was plugging my ears.

In their humor newsletter today, @newyorker.com re-shared this thing I wrote 8 years ago, so I am re-sharing it here too. I think it holds up well.

Join The Onion Don’t just read the news. Feel it. Be among the first to feel the news.

Okay gang, The Onion is 80 sign-ups away from our 60,000th print subscriber.

So! We're giving our 60,000th subscriber a mystery box by our archivist as a nice lil thank you.

Sign up now. I'd give it an hour.

I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.

What are those seminal truths that supply essential context to the daily news report? Here’s my list:

That the United States has become an authoritarian state, with armed soldiers on city streets; immigrant neighbors abducted and disappeared by masked agents; the state seizing stakes of companies; political opponents targeted with criminal probes; educational institutions extorted into obedience; media organizations paying tribute to the ruler. This is reality.
That Trump is personally deranged and debilitated. That he operates almost entirely in a bubble world of lies and fantasies. That he makes things up, is misled by his staff, and often doesn’t know what they are doing.
That white Christian nationalism and virulent racism are primary drivers in this administration.
That misinformation and lies are not coincidental to the Trump agenda, they are essential to it.
That Trump is engaged in a massively corrupt scheme to enrich himself, his family, and his oligarch friends.
That Trump is leading what is effectively a criminal enterprise – openly violating the law at almost every turn.
That the Trump administration is systemically diminishing hard-fought civil and human rights for women, for immigrants, for brown people, and for trans people.
That the Republican Party of the past no longer exists. It is no longer serious or credible.
That the nation’s historic checks and balances, through the separation of powers, have collapsed.
That the federal government – especially the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security – has been so weaponized against Trump’s political opponents that nothing it says can be trusted without evidence.
That Trump’s cruelty and racism have been fully embraced by the MAGA movement and by federal agents terrorizing and abducting immigrants.

Police release new details in shooting death of 4-year-old Oklahoma girl Police report that the father's gun was kept in a holster on a shelf, which he believed was unloaded and too high for the children to reach

The police are describing this as a "tragic accident." It's not. It's negligence and recklessness, and it was 100% avoidable.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong.

I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:
