I am supporting a bill to end lifetime active service on the Supreme Court, set 18-year terms, and create regular, fair appointments. We need to lower partisan warfare, restore trust, and modernize the Court.

Once had a conversation with a photographer who explained that a portrait wasn't supposed to offer dermatological documentation. He would gently blur photos (keeping the eyes and mouth crisp) to present people in the best light.
Just thinking of that as I look at this photo of Leavitt in VF.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

its gonna be so funny if libs visibly jettison Clinton, gates, summers, etc and the left clings to Chomsky tbh. Not beating the allergic to power allegations
Noam Chomsky’s emails to Jeffrey Epstein display none of the fawning chatter found from, say, Larry Summers. And he does not appear to have been co-opted by whatever access Epstein provided.

What the Noam Chomsky–Jeffrey Epstein E-mails Tell Us
Chomsky has often suffered fools, knaves, and criminals too lightly. Epstein was one of them. But that doesn’t mean Chomsky was part of the “Epstein class.”
