    Thank you for your poetry submission to @NewYorker. We get 1,000s of submissions each day from the president and can only read a small fraction. After careful consideration, we felt that, while full of creative punctuation, this did not suit our editorial needs at this time.
    ....And then came a Plague, a great and powerful Plague, and the World was never to be the same again! But America rose from this death and destruction, always remembering its many lost souls, and the lost souls all over the World, and became greater than ever before!

    “I never did this before. I never slept over in Washington” is how a five-year old would describe his experience of being president.

    My wife has never said anything like this and her name is Cassandra.
    My wife has the gift of premonition. Last night she dreamed that Federal squads were in our home seizing guns, knives, “unauthorized foods” and stored water. They said we had been “reported”. Becca awoke crying. What happened to our freedom? She asked. What indeed.

    As the world embraces authoritarian personality cults, one of the greatest strengths of @JoeBiden is that no one is excited about him.

    The right wing rejection of democracy is a feature, not a bug.
    As President Trump refuses to accept the results of the election and continues to employ various legal tactics, @jaketapper asks: "How long is the Republican Party going to continue to defer to unhinged, mendacious desperation led by the gang that couldn't sue straight?"
