Audio of the earlier article above. Lance Bass!

Jeff Bridges was also on the call tonight, among many others.

Mark Hamill, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Mayor Pete and many others are on there. I ain't goin' in there, Zoom gives me anxiety.

I hate posting that grifter Yashar, but: Article here.

It's not working. And I don't actually think that Kamala cover was meant to be degrading, but it is definitely tacky and stupid. Fox News' The Five is taking the rise of Harris well - note the one woman who tries to speak sense. You can tell the men are worried.

The "weird" attack on the GOP (which is accurate) is a long time coming, and the freaked-out response by Republicans as well as the uncomfortable institutional reaction in the Beltway shows how incredibly effective it's been - the tiresome Thomas Friedman is clucking his tongue about it in the op-ed pages. Meanwhile: Oh lord. I'm not sure I've ever seen a longtime Fox anchor so disgusted with a Republican.

Meanwhile, Roy Cooper has withdrawn from the veepstakes.

They did it:

He seems copacetic about it in the extended comments. I am so far, far behind but I'll catch up (or jump ahead) sometime! "Death in the Outback" sounds fun.

I am glad Palmieri called her out. Jordan has been clashing with Jarvis and others online for days over her bias and roots.

Honestly though, as pointless as some of her recent stints are they're pretty benign. None of them are nearly as terrible as her original return in the mid-2000s. It's sometimes hard to remember now, but Guza had her holding Port Charles and thousands of lives for ransom over the monkey virus. That was horribly OOC for Holly (who I have no profound fondness for, I like Emma but I was always an Anna/Finola stan) and that same creative team spent years after bumbling around trying to make up for it with goofy comedy con artist hijinks designed to lighten the character up again without really addressing it, and I'm not sure they ever did. That being said, while I've always wanted Robert and Anna back together I know I am in the minority. And if it gets him away from Diane I am all for Robert and Holly reuniting yet again.

I mean I'm happy for Emma, but she's popped in many times in the last 20 and especially 10 years. She's a regular guest and that's great. I don't know why I open these headers expecting them to have finally bit the bullet on VM though, lol. I am surprised to hear she apparently ties into Lucky's return. I'm not sure if her and JJ have ever shared scenes, I don't think so.

Vance's fixations run deeper than I knew:

You know it's bad when Trey Gowdy comes off like a distinguished statesman.

I still don't think he's the right optic but I see @DRW50's point:

Foregoing 'go high' has borne fruit - creeps like Vivek wouldn't be pleading to talk policy otherwise. More WP (non-paywalled): Vance's rocky debut

Meanwhile: Walz at it again: This has worked tbh:
