The lead reporter works out of the Denver bureau, but my understanding is she was there to do an interview and get footage to be used on a national show (Bret Baier, who later tweeted out kudos to the crew for sharing their observations.)

At least three Montana newspapers - in its largest cities - have quickly rescinded their endorsements of Gianforte. The Billings Gazette’s piece on it is really, really well-written (and went up within just a few hours of the incident.)

Latest update is he has been cited for misdemeanor assault. Some on Twitter are losing their minds wondering why not felony, asserting the Sheriff (who gave him a relatively small campaign donation) is in the tank for him; but the reality is this was clearly a misdemeanor and he has been swiftly cited for the…

Montana’s special election is tomorrow.

Probably it hasn’t come out because, as with most solo ventures of drunken people at 2 am, no one knows what the fuck he was doing. Strip club? Passed out on bench? Wandering the streets sobbing? Looking at hilarious cat gifs on Twitter? All of these things are more plausible than “going to meet with G-men.”

The really insane thing is, if you actually believe he was the source for the emails and was killed because of it - a ludicrous conspiracy theory for which there is no credible evidence - the reasonable inference from that is not “the Russia thing is a total lie!!! it was an inside job and the Clintons whacked him to…

Accuracy is important in times like these.

It’s quite clear that Donald Trump’s ________ ... is essentially evil. But did you know that it is also an embarrassing exercise in idiocy based on fantastical falsehoods?

That is going to be the next defense - “All you MSM hacks keep saying you don’t believe anything the President says, so why would you believe him when he blatantly admits to high crimes and/or misdemeanors?”

Scott Brooks might be a fine NBA coach,

I mean, you’re right about all of this; but I’m pretty sure if he actually had the gig he would study his ass off, consult with everyone he could think of to figure out the best hires to make, and actually do a pretty good job.

The Zaza play was what knocked him out. The one where he rolled it on his own teammate was earlier. This one was clearly a foul and certainly puts an asterisk on their comeback; but it’s a pretty big stretch to call it dirty. Zaza, a pretty oafy guy, tried to make a clean contest. He didn’t foul up top but he did…

Reached for comment on why this couldn’t have been handled more quickly and decisively, a Cleveland Police Department spokesman had this to say: “Squirrel lives matter. It’s not as if we were dealing with a dangerous unarmed black teenager.”

that’s precisely what makes nights like the one Harden had last night so frustrating to watch

I just sent an email to somethingnice@nytimes.com with the subject line “.” and the body text “.” Because there’s an old saying about saying something nice.

It has been entertaining to watch Albert yo-yo between “The Wizards are the greatest!” and “The Wizards are dead!” takes throughout a postseason in which precisely one game involving the Wizards has been won by the road team (Wizards closing out Atlanta in Game 6.)

I disagree with some of this, but it really doesn’t matter. Point number 6 is the crux of the matter and should be in the front of everyone’s mind every day. The Donald Trump candidacy and presidency has, on a daily basis from the moment the notion of running entered that thing in his head resembling a brain, been a…

How about Rodman? He’s obviously our best DPRK double agent.
