@dbernstein in the excellent Substack Good Politics/ Bad Politics has a terrific piece today. The appointment of Jeannine Pirro is a violation of the law. A vacancy after an interim appointment is to be filled by the chief judge of the District Court. And any convictions obtained while she is in this illegitimate post can be vacated

My thoughts on Kamala Harris and the question of being the “change candidate.” Bonus info: what was the last interview Donald Trump did that wasn’t for a conservative media outlet?

A “final argument” against Obama in 2008 has a lot in common with criticism of Harris 16 years later—but also some striking differences. My new one:

ICYMI: My Q&A with @Pierre2Garry, founder and publisher of the @HaitianTimes_ ⤵️
From @marcela_elisa: I spoke with Garry Pierre-Pierre, the founder and publisher of The Haitian Times, about the outlet’s 25-year history, its coverage of the debunked pet-eating claims, and the public’s reaction to Trump’s lies. trib.al/zfXOEnK
