David Frum:

Was just on Australian breakfast TV and compared the Trump VP selection to Henry VIII's marriages: true, the king cut off the head of his previous wife - but you are different and special, he'd never kill you.

Please remember: Creating and spreading conspiracies is a huge part of how Trumpism was created.

Just don't.

Ya know who does best news besides @lawrence? @ResoluteSquare and @MeidasTouch

Kevin Roberts - President, Heritage Foundation
Spencer Chretien - Trump Special Assistant
Stephen Miller - Trump advisor/speechwriter
John McEntee - Trump personal aid

Study: Top newspapers fixate on Biden's age
Over the past five months, five of the top US newspapers have published nearly 10 times as many articles focused just on Biden's age or mental acuity as focused on just Trump’s

George Takei:

If you think a nightmarish, unconstitutional round up of innocent people, merely suspected of being enemies of the state, can’t happen in the U.S., then you’re forgetting that it already has.

I was among them, along with my entire family and community.

Sunday cable news this week will be Bothsidesapalooza.

Atticus Finch (of Georgia):

What values are MAGA passing on to the next generation?

That bullying is good?
That the ends justify the means?
That lying is fine if it helps “your side”?
That people exist to be used?
That religious faith is about lording over others?

Are these the things to teach our kids?

Tom Nichols:

I'm not interested in any more stories about Biden‘s age until there are more stories about Trump’s actual *sanity*

The double standard here is amazing.

@Theholisticpsyc:

Not everyone is ready or willing to do the work to create a healthy relationships. Let the people who reveal this isn’t them peaceful detach. This will welcome those who to do into your life.

Marty Schladen:

I'm a reporter, but I don't have to be neutral about democracy. In fact, all of us in the press have a responsibility to fight in our way for democracy. Especially on D-Day, none of us should be neutral about this if we want to be patriots and truly honor these heroes.

Shameful. Elon lying about Dr. Fauci.

Not a drag queen.

Yesterday on Deadline: White House, George Stephanopoulos said that if he is interviewing someone and they will not accept the 2024 election results he will stop the interview.

That is journalistic integrity.

scary lawyerguy:

Of the many double standards employed by the media, Biden needing every speech to be some combination of Lincoln and Cicero while Trump's public appearances are 90 minutes of word salad, non sequiturs, and dictatorial musings that get no push back, is among the worst.

"The worm that ate part of his brain will not affect his ability to serve as president" is not great campaign messaging.

On CNN:

@mollyesque on Stormy Daniels testifying that she spanked Donald Trump with a magazine: "It really speaks to me, the necessity of print... You can't do that with a phone, with a computer. You need magazines, you need print journalism!"
