I never tire of “None for me, thanks, I’m driving” when turning anything down. (Best deployment: an elderly friend offered me some of her lipstick during a funeral. She absolutely lost it.)

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.
Bigoted and stupid. The idea that the United States is at risk of falling under sharia rule is ludicrous on its face. There’s a much greater risk of Christian nationalists changing this nation for the worse. And they’re the ones using the phantom sharia threat to justify their own extreme agenda.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

What is Mr. Trump really costing us? A lot. Not the least of which, our daughters. The consequences of his influence are real, tragic and will endure for generations to come. The end of my family's American story is now part of his legacy, and his alone. annalinda2.substack.com/p/narrative-...
