DC police aren’t currently reporting any arrests yet from the Women’s March. Meanwhile in Denver, LOL: Read more

Stassa and I have been interviewing men at the Women’s March, but also took a break to watch some anarchists loudly mock a tiny Bikers For Trump rally. Someone began singing a maudlin country tune from the stage and the antifa dudes dropped to their knees screaming and pretending to melt. It was a good time!

Here’s Michael Flynn Jr., who was thrown off the Trump transition team for spreading Pizzagate conspiracy nonsense, and whose father is the National Security Advisor to the president. What a cool tweet that does not miss the point! Read more

Madeleine Davies has just eaten her first bite of Wendy’s ever in her whole adorable life, and proclaims it “salty” and “a good fry.”

And here’s Brenda, driving and posing naturally

I’m also looking fresh-faced and #nofilter this morning, I don’t know how I do it?
