I’m not even going to publish a copy of Trumps comments about Reiner and his wife. But occasionally he reminds me that he is simply one of the worst, most degenerate individuals who has ever existed in American public life. Hard to think of any more vicious, vile and sociopathic.

Wow. Papa was a rolling snowball.

WORLD SERIES UPDATES: Kershaw has been secured in bubble wrap and shipped to Cooperstown. Koufax is now warming up for the Dodgers. Yasiel Puig just boarded a Korean Air jet and should arrive at LAX by the bottom of the 22nd. Emergency doses of 5-Hour Energy available at all T.O. Tim Hortons.

They identified the guy who gave $130 million, ostensibly to pay the troops. Timothy Mellon. “A grandson of former Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon, Mr. Mellon was not a prominent Republican donor until Mr. Trump was elected.”

Bring back Gen X’s overwhelming fear of being a sellout. We were right about that.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

After Trump’s FCC chair, demanded ABC take action against against Kimmel for his comments on Kirk, Nexstar, the largest operator of ABC affiliates announced it would pull Kimmel from its stations Then ABC said it was taking Kimmel off the air Nexstar is seeking FCC approval for a $6.2B merger

Okay, there’s something I need to do every August 24th. I need to tell you to not give up on your mental health, yourself, this world, or hope. My brother Rick should be turning 63 today but he died at age 44 due to depression and other mental health problems. He shouldn’t have. (🧵)
