Like others, I won't be shocked if he is doing some stupid shít like playing Zander appearing as a vision to Gentle Stepdad Franco, urging him to live to be there for Zander's son.

I'm sure it'll be something stupid, but I'm always happy to see Chad.

They can try. It won't. Hotline is not a major media platform these days, and hasn't been in the Beltway mainstream of influence in many years.

As Schumer said this morning, the Democrats can and are already doing both this and the president's agenda at once. And the media coverage is overwhelmingly in favor of the Dems today.

The final word:

Hard to watch, but important:

Another depressing morning for the WH Press Corps, who seem to miss being the center of attention of the last four years (and if you think this seems crestfallen, check out Maggie Haberman's Twitter feed these days):

I remember the horror film he did with Dakota Johnson, Wounds. I think that was as close to what's unfolding now as you get. It's a creepy scandal to say the least.
