I think everyone should be talking about lot more about how itโ€™s clear the Epstein stuff is a palace coup with JD Vance trying to take over and how Trump had better be careful because theyโ€™re trying to fool him. This message should get to him a lot.

65 years ago today, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird โ€” the Greatest American Novel โ€” was published. I still superimpose Gregory Peck upon Atticus Finch on frequent re-reading.

Folks are sending me the new Running Man trailer with notes that it looks stunningly like our Vanish and Repo Men manhunts from 15 years back. It begged the question, could we revive that genre? And I answered, not in a country where our players could be mistaken for ICE. Or worse, *be* ICE.

One more warning to establishment Democrats based on the Zohran Mamdani win: In a primary, slandering someone as anti-Jewish when they are not is a dangerous and foolish strategy. It doesn't work on us. Learn from this.
