PETE BUTTIGIEG’S SUBSTACK: Pete Buttigieg was targeted by an anonymous tipster who sought to create the impression he had molested children and was potentially molesting his own kids. That an anonymous tip like that can be taken so seriously that kids are removed from their home for 24 hours to be observed is chilling:
“I am a reasonable man. I try to keep as calm and low-key as possible. But I cannot describe the mix of rage and sadness that I feel at the idea that someone brought our children into this. They are four years old. Four. They do not know or care what a Democrat or a Republican is. They don’t know how politics works. They don’t know about hate. They should be worrying about what kind of ice cream they’re getting this afternoon, not why they are being brought into a meeting with a grownup asking strange questions or why their Papa is suddenly unavailable to read them a bedtime story. For God’s sake, they are just kids.”
HRC’s Kelley Robinson says:
“I know how I would feel if someone tried to come between me and my kids. This is truly bottom-of-the-barrel stuff. It takes an awful, hateful person to question someone’s fitness as a parent just because of who they are, who they love, or in Sec. Buttigieg’s case, perhaps even who he speaks out against politically. We’re thinking of Pete, Chasten, and their whole family in this moment — and we aren’t resting until all LGBTQ+ families have the kind of safety and justice every one of us deserves.”

HUFFINGTON POST: A new book suggests Trump had a co-president for the first four months of his second (and last) term: Elon Musk. Shudder.

GRAHAM NORTON SHOW: Madonna granted a wide-ranging interview to U.K. host Graham Norton Friday night, a talk that pulled in her co-producer/co-writer Stuart Price … and even Kylie Minogue! Swoon:
Fabulous job, Graham! My only criticism is that the subtitles make it look like it was edited in iMovie.
The Kylie part is tantalizing — she absolutely was not on this album before, but has Madonna pulled her in for a “Love Sensation” remix?!
