    People complain about the writing on this show, but really, the way the Giuliani and Bolton character arcs are coming together, 18 seasons later, is pretty inspired

    !!! John Bolton’s lawyers have consulted with the impeachment inquiry committees about a possible deposition.

    Having spent a lot of recent days in historical archives, I can tell you that the greatest era of world history by far was the period between when people started using typewriters and when they started using fax machines.

    If you are taking up fly fishing as the new yoga, I encourage you to go to Livingston Manor like the lovely people in this story. It's great. You definitely don't need to go to any other streams in the tristate area. Also I am begging you not to.

    “Crippled America” has an appendix that seriously just lists all the airplanes Trump owns.

    In the latest version of his story about visiting Dover Air Force Base as the bodies of soldiers were returned, Trump repeatedly spoke of the size, power and beauty of the airplanes.

    Some of the targets in this video were sent bombs by a Trump superfan last year and the president responded by attacking the press. Saudi Arabia killed a Washington Post columnist and the WH stuck by their side. His backers get the text and subtext perfectly clearly.

    NEW: The video showed the president as a mass shooter executing members of the media and his political opponents in a church. It was played at a pro Trump conference at the Trump resort in Miami last week. w/

    This is not a parody. The world is burning down around this guy, and this is what he tweeted at 830am.

    Vote for good guy tonight on Dancing With The Stars. He has always been there for us!

    Facebook just tipped the scales for 2020, writes @cwartzel. Refusing to penalize or forbid obvious lies in paid advertising — as tv networks long have, if imperfectly — is a bonus to Trump.

    I wrote about how Facebook has redefined what it means to be a good candidate — and provided a distinct natural advantage to those who distort the truth and seek to divide.

    I had no idea! Folks, this is important — whenever you see a political reporter refer to a national poll, remind them that the Electoral College exists. They have NEVER heard this before.

    Makes sense if you ignore the fact that elections are decided by the Electoral College.

    Scoop: Rudy Giuliani was also planning to head to Vienna tonight--one day after Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman were trying to do the same with one-way tickets.

    A more provocative version of this story would have involved training a machine to write the Borowitz Report

    This seems like a bad question. Surely if a machine could learn to write for any magazine, it would be one with an obsessive house style and homogenous story structure

    I love that multiple people in my timeline saw this, thought "sure, Greenpeace unfurling a banner about Turkey/Syria, that checks out," and retweeted/liked it

    What’s so remarkable about this terrific profile is how little PewDiePie’s participation adds to our understanding - there’s simply no there there

    For this week’s , I profiled PewDiePie, the biggest, most polarizing YouTuber in the world.
