Throwing your kids under the bus is a historic new low even for a member of the United States Senate.

Is the best use of our time right now to comb through 10 year old media interviews by people who are now retired and point out how cringe-worthy they are? I am skeptical this is the way to fix a systemically misogynistic media culture.

Where does this madness end. Can parents opt students out of American history too?

Always a great time to re-watch this classic moment. But today especially, RIP Larry King
Larry King pioneered the live-interview environment we now take for granted — where you weren’t exactly sure the whole chat wouldn’t simply combust. That’s why the fumble with @JerrySeinfeld remains timeless. 🔥 “Larry King Live” (11/01/07)

If Trump is not convicted and barred from seeking federal office again, really hard to see how he won't be the nominee in 2024.

A sign of things to come that there is barely any coverage of primaries being held across the country today
We need to do this here. During this emergency, we shouldn’t allow foreclosures, residential evictions, or commercial evictions of businesses unable to make rent. We’re all in this together & we need to come together to create a strong safety net & lots of leeway for people.

At some point aren't primaries going to get cancelled, we have more than a dozen left..Bernie or Biden still needs to 1,000+ delegates. What if people can't vote for either of them? Or younger voters come out but older voters stay home... #coronavirus

Kavanaugh is delivering the scathing attack of #MeToo that Charlie Rose, Les Moonves, Kevin Spacey, Matt Lauer, all would have loved to give, but didn't because they were fired. Kavanaugh is giving it now and may get one of the biggest jobs in the country. #KavanaughHearings

Being an "advocate for women" in your profession does not mean you can't be a sexual predator. Louis CK executive produced and promoted lots of female comics. Harvey Weinstein promoted lots of female-led and directed films. #Kavanaugh
