We've all heard that there is no free lunch.

Well, guess what?

There is no free 747 either.

You know the assignment 👍

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

Well, guess what? Yesterday Putin batted his eyelashes at Trump (and Melania) and the first couple were grateful for the love and attention. People need to accept the reality that Trump will always crave Putin's affections and cares not a whit for Ukraine. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Wee Mental Mikey from the estate lost it too. He's gutted.

Although, to be fair, just like trump, he was never actually in the running.

1/7 A rough winter is coming to Ukraine.

Russia will strike harder than ever, with more drones and missiles than in previous years.

Europe has a duty to act now to strengthen Ukraine’s air defenses.

There is no time to waste

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Why are they asking irrelevant Uncle Potato Head?
May as well ask the pub drunk at chucking out time for what it's worth.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

It's difficult at times to hold both "this admin is doing lasting and serious damage to our institutions and the globe" and "this admin is full of the most bafflingly incompetent idiots you've ever seen who fall over themselves like a Vaudeville act constantly."

The duality of man is incredible.
