I watched him do his own hair when he was a guest on the Drew Carey show
As I noted, David Ellison went to the Democratic Attorney General Association last week; he knows this is a vulnerability, and Bonta wasn't the only one questioning him. That's why Ellison and his minion Makan Delrahim are trying to speed up closing the deal before anyone can challenge it.

Texas A&M University banned Plato. But, sure, this is the story.
Trump’s a fascist, but no he didn’t disgrace the National Prayer Breakfast. It *is* a disgrace. Yes it’s “bi-partisan,” if GOP dominated. It is also a private Christian nationalist event produced by an organization tied to 1/2 the dictators of the last 80 years. & literal Nazis.

Black women who go to church are the backbone of the Democratic Party. The party cease to exist without the political organization of these women. But do tell me more Ezra Klein about how the white guy who looks like you is the avatar of liberal Christianity.

Sunday reading: I wrote about how the regime’s latest racist hate campaign is tied to the Right’s broader attempt to redefine citizenship and national identity in service of an exclusionary white nationalist vision.
