It's also not even that wonky. The Pelosi Trade is all over male-oriented podcasts, even ones that have nothing to do with politics or investing. It's basically presented as a silver bullet, get rich quick scheme.

Is Addison supposed to be cutting across the field or drifting downfield on that play? Seems like an out cut there would've been an easy 30-yard play.

I watched Casino for the first time in a long time over the weekend and it is both better than I remember and perhaps the most viscerally violent movie I've ever seen. I remembered it being violent, but in kind of a normal 1990s way. NOPE.

It's why the Jim Downey bit about "Jeff Epstein, the New York financier?" works so well! It's ludicrous to frame him that way! And yet.

I love that that was clearly the winner in the writers' room, but they knew they needed something broader for the main wood.

This looks incredible! FYI that I tried to RSVP at the tiny.cc link but it's telling me no such link exists.

I think a good frame for all of this is "I don't want a child sex predator as president, regardless of his party or his name." It helps me to decouple this scandal from Trump qua Trump and depersonalize it.

Real rock and a hard place situation for him coming up.

Though that just puts it on Trump's desk to veto, right? There's no way to actually get this into law, correct? (The political stakes aside, of course)

Nine of the 10 countries of origin for deported immigrants are majority/plurality Catholic.

Is it fair to say that a majority of people detained or deported have been Catholic? I haven't seen any stats but that feels conceivable.

Oh noes.

That's the whole she-bang right there!

And frankly Epstein's gmail account was almost certainly hacked by foreign adversaries who would have had this info for a decade now....and used it in whatever way was useful to them,

Wolff isn't even just a neutral observer in these emails -- he's giving Epstein political spin advice! It's shocking!
