Of all the historical figures you've researched for your books, who would you invite to a dinner party?
It's a very strange question when you think about it. I mean, obviously I would choose Shakespeare, and probably Isaac Newton.
But the thing is, you wouldn't be learning anything - you'd be spending the whole dinner explaining to them why they're not dead any more! I mean, they would just be saying, "What the fuck, what's going on?" and it wouldn't be like a congenial dinner party with everybody drinking and relaxed.
And then, you know, who's going to tell them that when the dinner is over, they have to be dead again - that they have to go back to their graves? I don't want to be associated with this exercise.

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.

Trump won’t stop posting about the bathroom!
A collage of multiple social media posts from Donald J. Trump’s account showing the same marble-covered bathroom from different angles. Each post features several photos of a luxurious white and gray marble bathroom with gold fixtures, chandeliers, a marble bathtub, ornate framed mirrors, and plush white robes embroidered with the presidential seal.

In one post, Trump’s caption reads:

“The Refurbished Lincoln Bathroom in the White House — Highly polished, Statuary marble!”

The images highlight the marble walls and floors, gold faucets, and ornate decorative details, presented as a major renovation reveal.

The President of the United States exists in a dream world, where he regularly declares things that are not just untrue, but ridiculous. This is patently obvious to the most casual observer … so long...

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary
@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

Months later, when Mr. Trump hosted a party at Mar-a-Lago for young women in a so-called calendar girl competition, Mr. Epstein was the only other guest, according to George Houraney, a Florida-based businessman who arranged the event. Mr. Houraney recalled being surprised that Mr. Epstein was the only other person on the guest list.

“I said, ‘Donald, this is supposed to be a party with V.I.P.s,” Mr. Houraney told The New York Times in 2019. “You’re telling me it’s you and Epstein?’”
Mr. Houraney’s then-girlfriend and business partner, Jill Harth, later accused Mr. Trump of sexual misconduct on the night of the party. In a lawsuit, Ms. Harth said that Mr. Trump took her into a bedroom and forcibly kissed and fondled her, and restrained her from leaving. She also said that a 22-year-old contestant told her that Mr. Trump later that night crawled into her bed uninvited.

ABC News senior correspondent Terry Moran on Stephen Miller.
Terry Moran E @TerryMoran
The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism.
Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy.
But that's not what's interesting about Miller.
It's not brains. It's bile.
Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world-class hater.
You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.
Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his his own glorification. That's his spiritual nourishment.

1. NEWS The Trump administration plans to accept a Boeing 747 plane as a donation from the Qatari royal family, which will be upgraded to serve as Air Force One. The plane will then be donated to Trump’s library when he leaves office, allowing him to continue using it as a private citizen.
