We’re, like, a week away from finding out that Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crow have a shared checking account.

At this point, I think there are only one of two possibilities:

1. Clarence Thomas is in a deeply corrupt prid quo pro that sees judicial favors exchanged for financial support from billionaire Harlan Crow.

2. Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crow are in a findom relationship.

Yesterday, I gave a speech on our collective need to fight antisemitism. The drastic increase in anti-Jewish hatred in the past few years has been horrifying, and it's on those of us who are not Jewish to stand beside our Jewish siblings. Video below.

"It seems one of the worst things you can do these days is admit when you don’t know something. We’ll forgive a lot of things in this country, but for some reason, admitting when we don’t know something is often taboo."

"It seems one of the worst things you can do these days is admit when you don’t know something. We’ll forgive a lot of things in this country, but for some reason, admitting when we don’t know something is often taboo. Now, that’s quite a problem for me because I have found that the older I get, the more I realize just how much I don’t know."

CNN is fascinating because one week they'll fire a high profile anchor on the basis of being difficult to work with and the next week they'll carve out generous primetime coverage to a disgraced former president who is under criminal indictment separate from his rape trial.

I’m no legal expert, but I imagine that going up against Disney’s legal team is probably like trying to compete against LeBron in a dunk contest.

“Fox News executives have in their possession a dossier of alleged dirt on Tucker Carlson should he attack the network in the wake of his departure, eight sources at and close to the network tell Rolling Stone.”

"This is a sumptuous period piece, complete with all the exquisite set and costume design guaranteed to make your mouth water. Think Downton Abbey with an honest (but not cloying) meditation on misogynoir wrapped up in a murder mystery that runs through a queer women romance."

I'm proudly supporting President Biden for reelection.

He is the clear leader for this moment, and his record over the first two years of his presidency is extraordinary.

I'll be doing everything I can to keep him and Vice President Harris in the White House to finish the job.

Tucker Carlson has now had shows cancelled by CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. The mediocre cable host triple crown.

Tucker Carlson has been released by Fox News. His program is over. There will not be another broadcast.

I take back what I said about Dominion. This outcome is very pleasing.

If you're feeling down this week, take a few moments to remember that Ron DeSantis wakes up every morning these days absolutely seething over rejection by his own party and that a not insignificant percent of the country predominantly knows him for the pudding fingers thing.

"The occasional stab at humor lands well but is immediately washed out by the unrelenting bleakness. How often do you genuinely laugh during your nightmares? Therein partly lies the problem."

Babies cry. It’s what they do.

Sometimes, they cry on planes.

As someone without children, I keep in mind that I only have to hear this on occasion. Parents have to hear it all the time.

Thus, it’s easy for me to put on my headphones and keep my mouth shut.

Try it!

"In 2022, ADL tabulated 3,697 antisemitic incidents throughout the United States. This is a 36% increase from the 2,717 incidents tabulated in 2021 and the highest number on record since ADL began tracking antisemitic incidents in 1979."

Excellent timing that a 21 year-old cis, straight white guy Air National Guardsman who makes videos of himself shooting guns while shouting racist and antisemitic epithets is behind the massive intel documents leak on Discord while Republicans claim, without evidence, that trans folks are bad for military readiness.

“Max” is barely an acceptable name for a dog, and these fools are trying to make it the replacement for HBO.

I refuse.

"The humanity of my community--our right to exist--should not be a topic of debate. I am not sure you have ever been made to witness other people debate your right to exist, but I can assure you it is a terrible feeling. I genuinely hope you never have to listen to another human being argue against your existence."

Missouri House Republicans have voted to DEFUND all public libraries in the state. Why? Because of materials they deem “inappropriate.”
