Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.

Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.

Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

On this Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is a lying draft dodger who kicked out 5,000 trans service members who, unlike him, were serving ably and honorably, after hiring a white supremacist, alcoholic TV chatterbox to run our military.

Today was a very stupid day but I have faith tomorrow will be stupider

Former Veep writers are like "no, it's too much--pull it back a notch"

My So-Called Life is up there.

THIS TIME Lucy won't take away the football, not THIS TIME, I'm a very very smart, with-it, caring senator and I'm sure that THIS TIME the promise Lucy made will never ever be broken, oh btw please give to my campaign before you die!

John Fetterman’s memoir comes out on Tuesday, so if the phone calls don’t work you can always tell him how you feel while he’s on book tour.

The uncut version is wonderful. So much backstory that gets omitted in most versions.

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

Yes! Bought The Awful Truth this afternoon. It will not be my last trip there this month, for certain.

“How did you receive the foreigner? And did you receive him and welcome him or not?”

Pope Leo XIV challenges us to reflect on the moral cost of policies that target deeply-root immigrants and families.

jack donaghy: "That information is classified. At least until Dick Cheney dies which is gonna be a long time from now. That man is mostly metal."

How long is the moment? Just wondering.

Headline from The Daily Beast: Trump Gathers MAGA Pals for Tone-Deaf ‘Gatshy’ Theme Party

Fun fact: none of these people have actually read 'The Great Gatsby', in which Fitzgerald ruthlessly skewers a class of obscenely wealthy people who pursue a pointlessly extravagant lifestyle above everything else and whose moral compasses point only to dollar signs.

Such a great episode! Thanks for doing it.

Ron Filipkowski writes: “Remember during oral argument on the presidential immunity case when conservative justices scoffed at and mocked the hypothetical that a president with immunity could just start killing whoever he wanted and there was nothing that could be done if he has immunity?”

You are here.

If the sole purpose of Halloween was so that It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown could exist, that alone would make the whole endeavor worthwhile.

I adore THE UNINVITED. One of my favorite bits of trivia about it was that it received a lot of critical praise for not revealing the ghost. The reason was because they didn't have the budget to do any special effects to actually show the ghost.

I just realized the White House screening room was in the East Wing and now I'm offended on a religious level.

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

This is just to say

I have bulldozed

the East Wing

that you were probably

hoping to pass down

to future generations

Well, fuck you

it was in the way

so inconvenient

and so old

Trump destroying Eleanor Roosevelt‘s legacy (the east wing) feels a little on the nose.

so what's in the news today

I know nothing should surprise me, but I'm stunned by this picture. If you own a designated historic property (not that I do), usually you can't even install a doorbell that isn't period-specific. Or at least you wouldn't. This makes me heartsick.

A warning over a highway near Interstate 5 in Los Angeles that reads “live weapons over freeway”

We just live in a john carpenter movie now.

A radical idea, but just might work.

It is terrific and wonderfully revealing about how Mansfield wanted to break away from her image but was never allowed to; we see Hargitay explore her mother’s depth as we watch. Also, Hargitay has acknowledged how much she was inspired by Sarah Polley’s Stories We Tell and that’s wonderful to hear.

Overheard at the rally yesterday, about a passing car: “I assume that was his index finger he was pointing up.” #nokings
