What a wonderful time to have a senile sociopath as president and a talk show drunk as defense secretary.

A true actor's-actor career. You can watch Duvall in To Kill a Mockingbird and M*A*S*H and Open Range and Sling Blade and Network and Rambling Rose and True Confessions and The Seven Per Cent Solution, and you'll still have the seven performances for which he got Oscar nominations ahead of you.

A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.

The thing about the "Quiet Piggy" thing isn't so much that he's a sexist scumbag. We knew that already. But he would have caught himself in the past. He did with Megyn Kelly with "blood coming out of her... whatever." Classic case of onset dementia. Losing all self-censorship. Disinhibition.

My heart is so heavy … I lost a friend and mentor yesterday and the disability community lost a leader. The incomparable Alice Wong passed away. She inspired me to find my voice. She encouraged me to take up space and embrace my disabled body.

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

One thing we've learned in the last 12 hours: The Sinclair-Nexstar ban on Kimmel, in terms of his reach, means nothing in an era when late-night shows have an afterlife or simultaneous life on streaming. Kimmel's average audience is 1.6M. On YouTube, last night's monologue is already at 8.4M views.

1) I did not realize Kimmel also calls him "Bobby Brainworm" 2) no wonder potus is screeching mad 3) it is difficult to imagine anything more befitting this ridiculous era than a co-creator of "The Man Show" turning out to be American Zelensky 4) in this suit, he cuts the figure JD Vance cannot

If you're upset about Jimmy Kimmel being "canceled," I'm sure you were just as furious when you heard about Joy Reid and Tiffany Cross or Amber Ruffin or Karen Attiah or Jemele Hill Because Kimmel might still have a job if you were

Jimmy Kimmel is not a victim of "cancel culture." But he is the perfect example of what happens when white people are silent in the face of racism.

Trump embarrasses the United States as he tells world leaders at the United Nations “Trump was right about everything.” This was the most ignorant, racist, divisive, unhinged, and self-promoting speech I’ve ever heard from an American president at the United Nations.

My favorite NYC bookstore, Bluestockings, posted on their social media that they are closing after 26 years. Terrible news.
Bluestockings Cooperative will be closing as of today. The current, former worker-owners, and staff part of the sunsetting crew are gutted to be delivering this news. After 26+ years of serving marginalized communities as an independent feminist bookstore, event hub, and all around radical community space, the daily operations are unfortunately no longer sustainable on multiple fronts.

Democrats should become the anti-corruption party. 72% of voters think a member of Congress would likely accept a bribe if offered one. 80% say donors run DC. The solution isn’t left vs right, it’s clean vs corrupt. But first, Democrats must reform themselves and reject big money.
