This prime rib roast is a perfect centerpiece for a joyous holiday meal. The clear, rich fat that runs into the pan below the meat is also the perfect vehicle for Yorkshire pudding. nyti.ms/4qBksHp

Friends, we are witnessing the melt down of our President. We have a front row seat to the wreckage of the clown car. His language today about the Somalis calling them garbage is despicable. #Trumpmeltdown. Hope it goes fast and is complete. He is not in his right mind.

Trump is calling ALL SOMALIS Garbage today. Friends, this isn't going to end well. We are witnessing the meltdown of the emperor with no clothes. This behavior is increasingly racist and despicable. We have a front row seat to the clown car wreckage. Hope it is soon and decisive. #Trumpmeltdown

What Democrats want: a plaque in the U.S. Capitol to honor the January 6 officers.

What Republican senators want: a personal payout of millions of dollars because they were investigated for involvement in January 6.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Dear Humans,

Trump is in a full out panic. He hasn’t posted in 24 hours. It’s time to make him the pedophile formerly known as president. If you could do that God would be so happy.

Love,

God

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university.

University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.
