Since I'm phasing out Twitter in favor of this much less toxic landscape, I just wanted to say, "Good luck, we're all counting on you." And as long as I'm here, I'll also remind you - or perhaps newly inform you - that I did the interviews for SURELY YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS: THE TRUE STORY OF AIRPLANE!
Speaking of Richard, I haven’t shared this outside of my friend circle before, but today seems like a good day for it.

Earlier this year, Mike O’Malley was at an event & sent a video w/ someone who happened to be reading my AIRPLANE! book. A few minutes later, he sent a follow-up.

What a mensch.

#NowPlaying - Perry Como, 40 GREATEST

i’ve actually had this for a while, but I remembered it again when I re-watched the episode of THE MIDDLE when Brock wants to party with Axl at college and puts on Perry Como. (It’s like I’ve always said: the kids love the Perry Como.)

I anxiously await the reaction from Governor "Waltz."

See, that's how you use quotation marks: you put them around things that are inaccurate.
Trump says he’s ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali refugees in Minnesota “immediately.”

Trump just dropped a video on TruthSocial that A) looks completely AI-created and B) has narration from him which is, if not wholly AI-created, certainly AI-tweaked to make it sound way better than he currently sounds or has sounded in many months.

Friend: "Some of [Olivia Nuzzi's] past work has some quirky appeal to it that I can understand why people liked her, but then she keeps doing all of these things that SHOULD blow up her career, and they just...don't."

Me: "Ah, yes, this is what is known as 'the Trump effect.'"

Since my Facebook feed is filled w/ ads for the new memoir by the Nelson brothers, it seems like a good excuse to re-share the link to my epic 2011 interview with Gunnar Nelson, which was actually a blast. He even answered a question about their hair regimen in the '90s.

Really, bro? That's your big plan? To share this story?

Because you know what Summers did when this story broke? He left his job. So if you want to follow suit...

Stephen Miller knows nothing of this "quiet part" of which you speak.
Wow. Stephen Miller and the White House political operation are now openly, explicitly celebrating the fact that *legally* present immigrants have lost their jobs:

Sure as hell is.
Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

Literally just got back from the store and spent $45 on dinner for two nights. Half of that was for the meat.

I would've preferred to see it far sooner, but it's nice to *finally* see a member of the White House press corps snapping back a correction when a misstatement has been made.
Leavitt: Why aren't you talking about what these members of congress are doing to encourage violence…. They're literally saying to 1.3 million active duty service members not to follow lawful orders

Reporter: Actually they said illegal orders.

Scheduling is in process, but this ought to be a good one: Fishbone frontman Angelo Moore is coming to "Letting Them Talk with Will Harris."

🚨BREAKING: In a burst of posts, Trump endorsed imprisoning, and even executing, Democratic lawmakers he accuses of “seditious behavior.”

Their offense? reminding U.S. troops to defend the Constitution.
