Hey so β€œunderage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

The situation in the Situation Room being the presidential pedophilia coverup.
And let’s not be silly β€” the Situation Room is not some kind of inviolable holy space.

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

He blamed an entire region for his family’s dysfunction & moral failures. My grandmother was not crude & vulgar and my mother was not an opioid addict or thief. My parents were uneducated but I graduated from law school. Vance threw his forebears under the bus by advancing disgusting stereotypes.

My parents were born in the Cumberland Plateau of Mid-Appalachia and migrated to Cincinnati, where I was born and raised. We too went β€œdown home” to visit grandparents and other extended relatives. I would never call them Hillbillies or exploit them for my own profit.

But he is not an Appalachian transplant. He and his mother were both born and raised in Middletown - not Appalachia. His grandparents migrated to Ohio from Appalachia - he did not.

He and his mother were both born and raised in Middletown, Ohio. His grandparents were born in Eastern Kentucky, but they left there when they were
teenagers. He did not grow up in Appalachia.

Listen, my children, as here is unfurled
The story of the sandwich that was hurled
On the 10th of August in β€˜25;
What a moment to be alive!

As many chose to look down and duck,
One man decided he had to stand up,
And so he wound up, and said β€˜What the f___’
And gave his sandwich a freedom chuck.

A lot of the people you see arguing against food assistance are actually on food assistance. They work at Walmart or a convenience store and think they are deserving, but others are not.

This is projection and the way that the 1% keep poor people pitted against poor people so they don’t look up.

Just wrote an upbeat (!) Morning Shots.

I mean, if not today, when?

We should relish this moment. For a few hours. Because we should realize that these results are going to make the Trump administration even more aggressive about tilting the 2026 playing field, and we need to be ready for that.

Strong win for Spanberger in VA. Let’s take it as a rebuke to the madman in the White House from an aggrieved public that wants change.
