I find a lot of the cultural criticism in the NYTimes disappointing these days, but this is an exception — a comprehensive and thoughtful review that makes me eager to see the work in question. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/a...

The young journalists at the Harvard Crimson weigh in with the most thorough reporting on the Epstein - Larry Summers connection. Trigger warning: read on an empty stomach. This will make you want to vomit. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Did Underage Girls Ruin Politics? Tomorrow in the @nytimes.com

If The Morning Show and the Marx Brothers occupied two circles in a Venn diagram, the part where they overlapped would be A Night at the Opera after TMS’s latest, totally bonkers episode.

The White House just announced that President Trump has issued a pardon to everyone connected with "All's Fair"

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

I refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis. And make health insurance affordable. The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too. I'm voting no.

There is no Dem who thinks that Schumer voting No washes his hands of it. He is the captain of the ship and owns the process and end result. If he can’t run the team, then someone else needs to. Hopefully the other Dem senators understand the mood of the voters. If not, you will.

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means. Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

Caught up with "Blue Moon," which is so smart and funny. In very first scene, Hart's mother could be a double for one of the grande dames in the famous Weegee photo and then Weegee shows up later at the party...

Stephen Miller: “Quick, give me the auto-pen!”

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

When awards season rolls around, the makeup team on Death by Lightning deserves special credit for grooming all those beards and mutton chops.

…and 15 minutes in, Apple TV appears to be down…again. Another AWS outage?

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

If this happens, we need a full accounting of all the flights that administration members take over the weekend.

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

If I were the mayor or governor, I would simply not allow masked, armed men to kidnap preschool teachers in front of their children. If this isn’t a red line for you as a leader, then I don't know what you think your job is. Arrest them. Cut power to their facilities. Send out protection patrols.

I actually thought the headline was written by @nytpitchbot.bsky.social

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

At 7:45 pm, MSNBC is showing a long line of people still waiting patiently to vote in Torrance for Prop 50, which is pretty inspiring and suggests people are paying attention and moved to action.

“So how do we characterize it?” “Inspiring!” “God no, get off your soapbox!” “Incredible?” “No, please leave your value judgments out of this!” “Uh, improbable?” “Yeah, that might work. Underscores our skepticism and sets him up for future take-downs. Run with it…”

A sneak peek at the cover of next week’s issue, which celebrates Zohran Mamdani’s historic win. #NewYorkerCovers https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/451hFM

The current state of Trump’s Republican Party:

Thinking about sending a reporter to Teterboro Airport to watch all the oligarchs fleeing.

NYTimes headline, Jan 2, 2026: Mamdani Fails to Deliver During First Day in Office.

JUST NOW: Massive lines in Huntington Park, California, to vote on Prop 50 — an area heavily targeted by Donald Trump’s ICE raids.

If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE

Note two important things here: Jones defeated an incumbent, AG Jason Miyares. And, this means one less key AG siding with Trump — and another AG and AG's Office that will be litigating against Trump.

In the midst of a government shutdown, as masked ICE agents roam America’s cities with impunity, with lines at food banks across the country growing, and farmers at risk as America bails out Argentina instead… Donald Trump threw a Roaring 20s/Great Gatsby themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago.

Usha Vance Reveals That Her Marriage Has Made Her Consider Converting to Atheism

Headline should have read “How Hollywood Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb”

Trump is holding a Great Gatsby/Roaring 20s-themed party at his private club in Palm Beach tonight as he tries to withhold SNAP and health care subsidies from millions of Americans. (via Kellie Meyer)

Anyone who’s worked in a newsroom knows the feeling. A top editor offers up a crappy story idea during a news meeting, and the mid-level editors put their heads down and whisper quietly to themselves, “Dear Lord, not me. Please not me. Not today, anyway.”

After that Don Johnson of "Miami Vice" on the US military blowing up supposed drug-running boats!

Has Mike Johnson ever considered holding his daily presser an hour later to give him time to read a paper?

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Pulled up to my home in Palm Spring’s today to find two young women removing my Yes on 50 yard sign. They claimed a neighbor didn’t want it on her lawn. Told them it wasn’t on the neighbor’s, took it back and replanted it. Just a very small skirmish in our current political battle…

The time to organize with your neighbors and your community is right now.

Yet another reason for New Yorkers to vote for Zohran Mamdani.

Apparently, AMC’s Talamasca and Amazon’s Lazarus occupy the same universe — at least they both used the same exterior location, the Langley Building, with its distinctive windows, in Manchester, England

Openly Nazi propaganda and aesthetic from the U.S. Department of Labor’s official Facebook page.

“Thank you, Sir Mr President,” he replied as he attached a listening device to the underside of the table…

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment. The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult. It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history. Until then, they're all to blame.

Trump's ballroom is not only an architectural monstrosity, but it's just going to be a big empty shell most of the time. Trump claims it's needed for state dinners, but according to Wiki, Obama had 13 state dinners in 8 years, Biden had 6 during his term, and Trump had just 2 during his first term.

Found on Instagram

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

Seems like a great moment for some magazine to do a big spread of photos of the East Wing throughout its history, driving home exactly what kinds of spaces have been taken from the people.
