I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

This UCLA psychiatrist's expert evaluation of ex-sheriff Alex Villanueva is ... really something.

(The county hired Cohen to do this eval to determine whether Villanueva had really suffered emotional distress as a result of being put on a "Do Not Rehire" list, as he alleged in his lawsuit.)

The Onion got hacked on Twitter today for the first time since the Syrian Electronic Army hacked us in 2013. This time they're selling crypto, which as you all know we love. Crypto is great. I love it. We love it. Twitter is also great. So is Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk, who is normal-shaped.
