Thomas Harley said he likes that Neil Graham explains why they’re doing certain things.
@OwenNewkirk asked why that’s important.
“Because we’re stupid,” Harley said.

A statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands in D.C. is removed as fast as it appeared
The statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands mid-frolic wasn't the first anti-Trump artwork on the National Mall in recent months. But it was the first to be removed, despite having a permit.

This is a huge deal. Trump demanded DOJ charge Comey with something to get revenge. Now they are.

Flyers may or may not be better next season, but they should at least be more interesting
The 2025-26 season will still be a transitional one for the organization, but there are reasons to believe it should be pretty intriguing.

Narratively speaking, the tightest ending to this screenplay is probably the freed J6 protestors storming the White House to demand the release of the Epstein files.
