- Hollywood here’s your problem. Deniro says “Fuck Trump.” Bee says Ivanka is “a cunt.” Maher “hopes for a recession to get rid of Trump.” That’s all you got? Do you have any clue as to how this plays right into Trump’s playbook? Keep it up and you’ll help ensure four more years.
- Let me get this straight. Biden is being criticized by the right for using notes. Which I do, and Reagan did, when you want to get it right. Trump didn’t use notes and lied on average 21 x a day. I don’t know, put me down as notes = truth.
- Trump calls the indictments a fishing expedition. Well, when you refuse to disclose your taxes when you run for president, and when you are president, and claim they're being audited indefinitely for years, then, yeah, prosecutors are gonna go fishing. Cause something's fishy.
- Watching @StephenAtHome this week, was struck by how perfectly he is able to thread the needle between comedy and tragedy. He singularly captures the zone
- "Serve a cause greater than yourself," was a mantra of @SenJohnMcCain Thanks to him, for a chapter of my life, I was honored to do just that:
- Two years ago on an Acela from NYC to DC, this fella gets on in Wilmington, asks if he can share my booth, then shares his sack lunch
- So I had my turn in the medical barrel this week with some serious spinal surgery. Which was another reminder to keep my expectations lower than my gratitude. But also made me realize what true heroes our care workers are. Like this guy, Craig Hall, at @RoseMedical
- Just feels like the physics in the race have shifted in the last few days. @KamalaHarris is ballin' and @realDonaldTrump is stallin'🔥 KAMALA to hecklers: “Oh you guys are at the wrong rally — I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.” 👀
00:00 - I’ll say it again. The biggest fraud in American politics is the notion that there is voter fraud.Replying to @NBCNewsTexas AG Ken Paxton's office spent 22,000 hours looking for voter fraud and uncovered just 16 cases of false addresses on registration forms, according to The Houston Chronicle. Nearly 17M voters are registered in Texas.
- I’m not into consultant worship, but @davidplouffe is a Jedi Master. And perfect add to the @KamalaHarris campaign. Because they have 5,000 things they COULD be doing. He will focus on the five things they SHOULD be doing. Plus they’ve brought on hall of famer @jmpalmieri.
- Don’t underestimate the power of joy.
- RIP. Legend doesn't begin to describe him. Most people know the big stuff but few knew about his constant generosity. He let me crash in his apartment for 3 years. I just wish I'd kept that yellow legal pad with the first draft of "Sunday Morning Coming Down"
