I am now a single issue voter: My vote goes to the candidate who promises that an hour after they are inaugurated, they will personally drive the bulldozer (or whatever) that takes the first whack at tearing down that ballroom.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

In the tortured saga of Doctor Dolittle, Samantha Eggar was the rare innocent party--and she was gracious and good-humored enough to give me an interview and even recheck her diaries for it! To remember her, watch her spirited, touching performance in The Collector. RIP. deadline.com/2025/10/sama...

I think two things are true:

1. young republicans were always terrible and racist

2. young republicans become openly hitler-loving groypers is in fact a new and alarming development that is worth paying attention to

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.
