Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

We neurologists fall in love with our hypotheses: they never die. The latest: Depending on where Lewy pathology is first found, one of 2 #Parkinsons types exists. @ajlees and I explain the newest inconsistency in this “brain-first/body-first” hypothesis.

Is there going to be a credibility hit to every "centrist" and right-wing alternative media pundit who told us that tariffs were just going to be a negotiation tactic?

Trump’s legal arguments for postponing or canceling today’s sentencing by Judge Merchan were so patently ridiculous that the four Justices who signed onto them by dissenting yesterday have erased any residual doubt that they’re willing to swallow whatever crap Trump’s lawyers will throw his way.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
