A vessel pops in your eye, an ingrown hair throbs, a scab takes too long to heal or a headache extends days, these innocuous bodily normalcies - they all become suspects.

"People! The man literally used his social media platform to tweet out a demand that his attorney general prosecute his opponents, ones he’s already characterized as 'guilty as hell.' This isn’t 'venting.' It’s criminal."
