There are a lot of Trump officials who need to be impeached, but Russell Vought -- the quarterback of all the Project 2025 fuckery and a central player in the administration's overreach -- really needs to be at the top of the list.

As a Norwegian and a republican, I have to say this headline is incredibly misleading and tasteless. While I object to monarchy, it was difficult to object to King Harald, an extraordinarily warm and inclusive monarch who chose love (his Sonja, a commoner) over tradition (marrying another royal).

nytimes.comHarald V, Norway’s King as Tradition and Modernity Collided, Dies at 89His 35-year reign opened an ancient monarchy to marriages with so-called commoners and to an incendiary association with Jeffrey Epstein.

It is truly deranged that the announcement of his passing should be in the same sentence as Epstein (there was no relation between the two!). Do better, NYTimes. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/28/w...
