I find its onscreen presence a little sharp and grating.

Adult Obesity Prevalence Maps 23 states had an adult obesity prevalence at or above 35%. Prevalence varied by several factors.

His state has an obesity rate of 35-40% according to the CDC. So I'm not sure how that would play with his constituents. www.cdc.gov/obesity/data...

Who is No. 1?

I'm not sure how I missed the Great Biden Water Shortage of 2024.

wow the twist ending

A Brief History Of Awful TV Shows About the Supreme Court The concept of “The West Wing for the Supreme Court” might be the only thing more upsetting than the actual Supreme Court.

Neal Katyal says he's working on a TV show that he describes as "The West Wing for the Supreme Court," and my question is, have We As A Society not suffered enough

My theory is that low-information, low-propensity Hispanic voters are now simply behaving like other groups of low-information, low-propensity independents. IOW, they're fickle and they're inclined to swing hard against whomever is in power.

Honest Q for the lawyers on this app: Would a judge have to sign off on such a settlement?

Gary Hart's boat, "Monkey Business," would like a word.

Top ten sitcom of all time. Unlike Three's Company.

The Romantics totally stole that riff for "What I Like About You"

An early-warning system for the political winds Look to these 10 questions Tuesday night to see if the political winds are calm, or if they may blow Republicans out of office next year.

In his Monday column, my colleague Charlie Cook listed a 10-item scorecard of races that would determine how well Democrats did on Tuesday. They went 10/10.

If you'd like to meet him, I hear he's on Grinder

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE TWELFTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND FOR SARASOTA COUNTY, FLORIDA TRUMP MEDIA & TECHNOLOGY CASE NO.: 2023-CA-008180 NC GROUP CORP, Division: Civil Plaintiff, v. GUARDIAN NEWS AND MEDIA, LLC, et al., Defendants. / NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE Plaintiff TRUMP MEDIA & TECHNOLOGY GROUP CORP. (“Plaintiff”), by and through their undersigned counsel and pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.420(a)(1), files this Notice of Voluntary Dismiss Without Prejudice of all claims against all remaining Defendants1 (“Defendants”)

Nearly two years ago, the company that owns Trump's Truth Social sued the Guardian, Forbes, Reuters and more than a dozen other news orgs for defamation, over supposedly misrepresenting their financials.

Yesterday, Trump's company dropped their case altogether

'A genuine sense of personal loss': Remembering 60 years at the Pentagon With his press access now restricted, an Army officer-turned-longtime defense correspondent recalls his brushes with generals, the secrets he kept, and how the building's current leadership compares.

It's a privilege be a colleague of @TomDeFrank, who's covered every president since Nixon—and the DoD even longer than that. Here, he reflects on 60 years in the Pentagon as a soldier and reporter, which effectively ended with Hegseth's new media policy.

Then things really go up a notch when we get into "person, woman, man, camera, TV."

No, this White House renovation is not like the others Trump aides say his ballroom project is part of a continuum of improvements over the decades. But they leave out some key context.

My colleague George Condon goes deep into the history books to debunk the White House's argument that Trump's ballroom construction "echoes the storied history of improvements and additions" to the building.

Sometimes she just says the thing explicitly.

If a president can't be indicted by the DOJ while in office, then surely he cannot demand restitution from that same DOJ while in office. Right? The problem is this wouldn't have to go to a jury as a civil tort case, as long as he's got a DOJ atty who will sign off on a "settlement."

He is literally not paying for it.
