Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

I love this idea almost more than I can say.
(Though it surely helps to have been well copyedited.)

I have this trick when I get edited: I make a copy of the file, and then—without looking—I hit "accept all."
Then I read it. I just read the thing I wrote, with "yes!" to all edits.
Then I go back to the other file and look at the edits one-by-one. It's game-changing to see it without the red.

Any number of first-rate writers have committed "he thought to himself" in manuscript. (We used to keep a list.) What makes them truly first-rate is not balking when the copy editor CROSSES OUT THE OFFENDING WORDS.

“USDA cuts have made it harder to keep up. The flood will make it even more difficult. Pending SNAP cuts feel like it will be impossible.”
Texas food banks are rationing meals for flood survivors because of Trump’s cuts.
The July 4th flooding has become the first major disaster to expose the grave effects of Trump’s new food and hunger policies.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

My 3 year-old was reading the Times when he turned to me, gravely, and asked: "Daddy, why did the senator ask mean questions to the nice plastic surgery lady?" And when I told him "because that lady pledged to liberate LA from socialists," he started crying.

ICE causing fires from their own tear gas and flash grenades, don’t get it twisted. They’re the ones causing damages to cities.

This action is escalatory and authoritarian. The Trump administration continues to take any opportunity to sow chaos, diminish the rule of law, and undermine our constitutional rights.
“For the federal government to take over the California National Guard... to put down protests is truly chilling,” said Erwin Chemerinsky, one of the nation’s leading constitutional law scholars. “It is using the military domestically to stop dissent.”
The legal issues raised by Trump sending the National Guard to L.A.
President Trump is sending the National Guard to Los Angeles over the objections of Gov. Gavin Newsom by invoking rarely used federal powers.
