Another 10 minutes to go.

A team of NPR reporters and editors reviewed the transcript of trump’s so-called news conference on Thursday and found at least 162 misstatements, exaggerations and outright lies in 64 minutes.
“That’s more than two a minute. It’s a stunning number for anyone – and even more problematic for a person running to lead the free world.”

JD will have a fun time explaining this photo of him in drag while at Yale law school. He will probably blame it on AI.
