On the plus side, given Emperor Trumps' history of using shoddy materials and stiffing the folks who actually build his construction projects, there's a good chance that he'll be killed or incapacitated by his new ballroom!

A long read, but well worth reading. It's why I pay to subscribe to Radley's work.
New from me:
Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong.
This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.

MTG recently started making statements that don't sound completely insane. Possible explanations:
1) A handler has recently shoved their hand up her ass.
2) A new handler has their hand up her ass.
3) She recently escaped her handler.
Thoughts?
