- Trump's failure to yet tweet about @MittRomney marching today means Fox News hasn't covered it and everyone in bunker too afraid to tel him. Stay tuned!
- An abrupt resignation won't do. We need a full investigation into why and how Trump's Secretary of Labor protected a pedophilic rapist, and why Trump put him in his cabinet.
- Best Pelosi move: "We're happy to consider the Wall the moment you fulfill your campaign promise of getting Mexico to pay for it."
- Our long national Joe Manchin nightmare may have ended.
- To me the image of Kavanaugh pressing his hand on her mouth to stop her from screaming could stand for the GOP treatment of Ford all week.
- When Kenneth Starr goes on TV to moralize about John McCain’s “very dark stain,” the very least journalists can do is to ask him about his sex-criminal client Jeffrey Epstein, & the sexual assault scandal on his watch @Baylor.
- Kavanaugh’s bragging about coaching girls’ basketball is troubling in retrospect.
- Takes an impressive degree of idiocy for a politician to turn a humanitarian photo op at @MayoClinic into a threat to public health.
- For both commercial & patriotic reasons, Simon & Schuster should get Bolton’s book out now & dare Trump to kill it. S&S publishes Bob Woodward; they know this drill.
- If Kemp wins in Georgia, Hollywood should put its money where its mouth is and pull all production out of the state.
- Two questions: 1. Is there any reporting on why Trump is taking the week off from campaigning aside from a single appearance in Montana? 2. Why is his only appearance in a state that he already has?
