Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

I swear to god the steadfast commitment people seem to have to not learning even one single thing from Mamdani...
Dear media,
There is no job on earth worth being talked to the way Trump talks to you and each time you don’t stand up for yourself you green light it.
Call him the stupid one and a racist lying demented old dictator. Then just say fuck you, I quit.
Half of America will adopt you for it.

I tell my students that early Christians were often accused of vampirism and cannibalism and when they inevitably react in shocked disbelief I then point out that it was, according to their own beliefs, literally true.
My hot take on politics and history and religion this year is that a religion which is actively about a child sacrifice should consider shutting the fuck up about a narrative of stopping child sacrifices.

This is entirely why they did it in the first place. They've been desperate for something like this to happen.
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.
