I just went looking for the clip

Democrats join legal challenge to Trump’s planned 250-foot arch β€œThis is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” Sen. Angus King of Maine told The Post, citing a law that certain monuments must receive Congress’s approval.

New: Democrats asked a federal court to block Trump's 250-ft arch.

Under law, Congress must approve certain monuments in DC.

β€œThis is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” @SenAngusKing said.

They also mocked the "vanity" project.

β€œThis is not Pyongyang,” @RepHuffman told me.

The Crook-In-Chief robs the US of $1.6 BILLION with his (paid for) pardons alone. That's only so far and he's only getting started.

The Trump regime's assault on the English language keeps making me think of this old Twilight Zone episode.

I need a reporter to ask Mike Johnson what it's like to have no dignity or self-respect.

Or just tell him that Trump called him "the world's best ass kisser" or something like that, and watch as Johnson thanks his boss for the compliment.

Conversation with our pediatrician when we had our first.

"So, is there anything to these people concerned about vaccines?"

(deep breath) "No, it's ..."

"That's all we need to hear. Sorry!"

Let’s see where we are in a week once people have absorbed the move in gasoline prices.

She should be remembered as a vicious fascist who had no qualms about terrorizing, killing, and defaming people while running an agency that should not exist.

That'll be our next step. We do a lot of long trips and my wife was worried about recharging on the road but I think we'll make the leap.

Editing is the important part, yes, and the book will be much stronger when it's done, yes, but the killing-my-darlings part is still not fun.

Me, writing: Haha, fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

Me, editing: Well, this fucking sucks.

My students always sweetly ask this about every break, and the answer I swallow is "actually I'm finally hoping to get some work done."

I knew my family switching to hybrid cars would be a good investment in the long run, but I didn't think the long run would get here so soon.

The New Twilight Zone [S01E02A] Wordplay A salesman at a medical firm finds everyone around him undergoing a linguistic transformation.

There was an episode from the 1980s revival of the Twilight Zone called "Wordplay" that I keep coming back to. Robert Klein plays a salesman who slowly realizes to his horror that words are taking on new meanings for everyone else but him.
