Ohhhhhhhh my. Meanwhile:

Once again Trump overplays his hand and telegraphs his moves way ahead of time. Which is good news, IMO. The entire current media conversation is "how do we deal with Trump preemptively declaring a fake victory?" That is not going away in the next 60+ hours or whatever. It's going to be The Issue. And they will be expected to react accordingly, as opposed to brushing it off and letting the GOP work the refs as usual. The media knows the eyes of the nation are on them. It will be part of the narrative and they will have incredible pressure not to cave.

Michael Moore falls for a comedian's viral clip:

Sean Connery was a complicated man of a certain era. I am not going to go down the cancel road with the dude the day he died; I knew about those comments decades ago and I certainly don't like them, but I prefer to believe he evolved and he did a lot of good in his life and career. YMMV. Anyway: Here is a great thread and story. One of Connery's very best performances and most underseen was in Sidney Lumet's The Offence, was made as part of his multi-picture deal with United Artists which he got to make small films he believed in upon agreeing to return for Diamonds are Forever. He also donated his salary from Diamonds to found the Scottish International Educational Trust. The Offence is a dark, brutal experience and you can find it for rental on Amazon; it used to be on Prime for free. I highly recommend it, along with his other, kookier '70s Lumet film, The Anderson Tapes with Christopher Walken. For me, it took the most balls for him to walk away from Bond and do films like those and most especially John Boorman's Zardoz - a singular vision if ever there was one. One more underseen diamond of his: Outland.

We still have a very good shot at the Senate.

No, I don't trust the Lincoln Project as I have enumerated at length. I know exactly who they are and I remember what they did to Kerry, Gore, etc. But yes, this is wonderful and should be done constantly. They have always been very good at going low and hitting hard, and they got inside Trump's head long ago. More importantly, this hits Jared and Ivanka in their most sensitive spot. The Trump scions should be humiliated and hounded out of my city, and out of the society circles they crave approval from. They should never find peace in this country. Never. Look at this gem of a man:
