Trump claims he’ll “protect” Social Security, but his economic plans would actually tank Social Security revenue and accelerate insolvency by 3 years, leaving the next President to clean up his mess. —Steve Rattner on Morning Joe

“Free lies with every shake. You just don’t want to see who’s shaking. I asked for an Arnold Palmer. Old man told me I couldn’t handle it.”

Obama and Eminem. Game knows game.

Vin Scully and Fernando Valenzuela

I am envious of the voting stickers in Alaska.

Evan Lovett crafted this solid obit on Fernando Valenzuela as part of his L.A. in a Minute series.

Holocaust survivor Irene Weiss:

“Man can turn into an animal in no time. All he needs is permission. As soon as permission is given from higher-ups, from the government, it accelerates.”

The one, the only, Obama reciting the lyrics to Eminem's Lose Yourself had the crowd amped up
