The details of the Tate extradition case are even worse than I expected. Selling sexual content involving a child on WhatsApp. Extreme porn involving a horse and an eel. Human trafficking, isolation, and violence against women and kids. Just awful, weird shit. Lock them away and throw away the key.

Every member of the Trump family and the administration with a relationship to Andrew Tate should be thoroughly investigated, given everything we know about these scumbags. Yes, that includes Barron Trump — his BFF and dating advice buddy.

Apropos of this: if you’ve never read Philip Roth’s “The Plot Against America,” there’s a DC tour guide, Mr Taylor, who for me is one of the most indelible and quietly heroic characters in modern literature.

NYC has a new mayor, Zohran Mamdani. And in the first nine months of his tenure, the city has recorded the fewest shootings, shooting victims, and murders in recorded history through the first nine months of the year. Major crime is down 6.6%, the largest drop in 17 years.

The NY Times uses words like “fierce,” “steely,” “nimble” and “homegrown star of the Trump White House” to describe Karoline Leavitt, who just got a Fox News gig. Not a single mention of her relentless lying to the American public. Reporter Michael M. Grynbaum and his editors suck.
