The great and not-on-Twitter Jonathan Marballi did a crossword with me and I learned we share an affinity for Kondo-style organizing. He also shared a crazy thing that happened to him once, involving a dog. (This is actually Monday's puzzle.) youtu.be/cKHd7RDolM0 #nytxw

Here's how many SCOTUS seats each president got to replace (assuming Barrett's in). LMK if you notice anything odd!

Ah Election Day. Time to kick back, crack a beer, and see if my candidate can win by 4 million votes to overcome the pro-conservative quirks in the system, prevent bad-faith liars from claiming victory, and avoid involving a court of unelected anti-liberal partisans

In the 2004 campagin, right-wing groups ran ads saying war hero John Kerry had shot himself on purpose to get his purple heart. GOP base absolutely believed it. They will believe anything.

2016: FUCK YOUR FEELINGS 2017: YOU LOST GET OVER IT 2018: DRINKING UR LIBERAL TEARS 2019: FOUR MORE YEARS BITCHES 2020: WATER THE TREE OF LIBERTY Jan 6 2021: OVERTURN THIS ELECTION Jan 7 2021: this is a time for unity and healing not finger-pointing

Trump's supporters have poured their energy and violence into battling a nonexistent issue, the easily disproven lie of voter fraud. Which leads to a logical conclusion: they have no real problems, only an arrogant, free-floating sense of entitlement

Among the 10,000 things enraging about this week is this: I haven't heard a single Republican say they were wrong for backing Trump. LMK if I missed one!

I'm looking forward to Shadi Hamid's next column where he sincerely apologizes to people like b-boy bouiebaisse, @lebesant and Israa | ﮼إسراء who warned about Trump and his fascist coup attempt.

The calls for Democrats to unify the country don't make logical sense. Democrats have been out of power. If you want more unity, those who have been stoking or benefiting from the rage of Q & violent groups planning attacks on our government have to be the ones to speak up.

Here's how the GOP game works: By claiming calls for Trump's removal threaten "unity," Republicans are spinning the idea that our problem is *generalized division.* In reality, it's anti-democratic forces waging violent warfare on pro-democratic ones: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

Any Republican who votes against impeachment should be required to say what Trump behavior *would* merit impeachment.

Parents: my buddy @averymonsen wrote a great new kids book "I Am The Longest Dog". Very funny, cute and has a sneaky good message too. I highly recommend!

The future of media is 10,000 personalities branding themselves as critics of 'the media' and 'the narratives' for every 1 reporter who's trying to do necessary journalism for barely a fraction of their income, whose name you don't remember because they didn't make it about them.

Put a note on every check: Every Republican in Congress didn't want you to have this.
