Something random made me remember Abu Ghraib last night, and I had a serious meltdown. Remember when we all called George W Bush dumb? That worked so well, really moved the needle. They're rotten all the way down, the whole stack of them. Thank you for tapping into my subconscious -- you are, as ever, brilliant.

Really appreciate your take on the elitism thing. I’ve had 20-some years in NYC but I’m from the Midwest. As much as I wanted to distance myself from Ohio my first years here, I now feel a lil defensive when I hear my lefties talk about “flyover country” and conservatives. I disagree with Trumpers on almost every aspect, but the way we talk about them isn’t helping anyone, & it’s not a good look. I’ll be thinking more about this!

Yeah there’s no reason to tick off all the boxes in the “coastal elite” list!

Seems like Signal Leak would do the trick. But I like Whiskileaks, because humor helps.

I saw Jamelle Bouie refer to the signal scandal as Whiskileaks due to Hesgeth's alcoholism and thought it was pretty good
