But as I understand it, the others openly vying for her job in the House so far, are all men.

I generally agree with you but do feel the plot got too rushed last season. Spectacle overtook characterization. A few more episodes in the season and they could’ve had a better balance. That said, the spectacle was like nothing ever seen before on TV, so still pretty amazing.

Thanks for covering this.

Spidey and the Thing are the most human, and therefore the best for me.  Doctor Doom was definitely the best villain he co-created (Mageto got more interesting years later, but that was more what Claremont did with him than what Stan and Jack did.)

I wonder if he’s seen as someone Trump dislikes if he can win a primary? That said, I think any Republican in Alabama who is not a child molester will be able to beat Jones, sadly.

Be nice if they got rid of the non-elected House of Lords, too. Our systems no great shakes either, but I’m surprised the monarchy is still around.

I love her but I really wish she had retired during Obama’s first two years like everyone wanted her to do.  Get well soon!

Just checked them out.  They’re fun!  And my guess pretty amazing to see live.

I’ve never checked out the archive before.  Anyone have any recommendations? 

And how will help that help win elections in areas that are non-blue strongholds? A majority of moderate voters want Congress to work together and get stuff done. Dems won in areas that have lots of Republican voters by talking about health care, a fairer tax plan, and fixing a broken Washington, not by saying they’ll

That’s awesome!

Whitaker basically said he would defund the investigation given the chance (he said he would do as much on CNN last year.) Maybe we the people can get a GoFundMe campaign going?

Thanks for the detailed article! With this law and many Puerto Ricans moving to Florida after the Hurricane, does it make Florida more likely to go blue in 2020? The state seems pretty split going by last night, so maybe this will help?

(Sorry in advance for focusing on that rather than the moral victory our fellow

Most American Jews support Israel (not Netanyahu) and don’t support Trump, but the Israeli Film Festival is sponsored by the Adelson Foundation, the charitable organization established by Jewish billionaire Sheldon Adelson, a major giver to Republican candidates ahead of Tuesday’s elections as well as to Trump in

I think Whitaker will initially try to defund the investigation (he said he would do as much on CNN last year.) Maybe we the people can get a GoFund Me going?

He was basically fired, though, right? Trump asked for his resignation.  I suppose he could say no, but then he’d be fired on the spot.  Not sure what the difference is outside of pride (and maybe you get unemployment if you get fired?)

Fun piece. Maddow is a national treasure. Smart, funny, great at giving context. But listen to the podcast instead of watching the show. It skips the many many many commercials (an issue “The Simpsons: pointed out...)

Bravo! Also, if you’re feeling down, here are some inspiring words Tweeted out by an American hero yesterday...

You mean, on principle. Remember the difference, the principal is your pal! (That little trick in third grade worked!)

Meanwhile another member of Congress tweeted these words today...
