INSTAGRAM: A smidgen of the late, great Jean-Paul Belmondo, just because.
NBC NEWS: With support from absolutely no one, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-California) has ended his campaign for California governor after multiple sexual-impropriety allegations, including allegations of rape. He has not said if he will resign from Congress.
It’s pretty fucked up when this stuff comes out in the midst of elections. The guy has been in office for years and years and years. But the allegations do not sound at all made up or hyped or tweaked.
Dems in California are going to have to coalesce around Tom Steyer. Anything but a Republican. (Well, almost anything.)
BBC: Autocrat Viktor Orbán was ousted by Hungarian voters after 16 years in power.
CNN: Meet Hungary’s new leader, Péter Magyar — he’s anti-Russia, pro-EU.
HUFFINGTON POST: Oil prices go up, up, up.
NEW YORKER: “Big Mistakes Is a Crime Show for the Girls and the Gays.” I agree! I enjoyed Season1.

NEW YORK TIMES: I was traveling, so overlooked the death of classical musician Elisabeth Waldo. At 107, she’d been one of the oldest living entertainers on earth.
Ok, as a Californian, the Swalwell thing just gives me the worst fucking headache ever. Trumper Bianco is still polling really well despite not getting Trump's endorsement. The CA MAGAs worship him more than Trump.
As for Tom Steyer, UGH! Great guy but a billionaire????????
Listen, I hope Britney gets the help she really needs before she joins the Gone Too Soon Club. She deserves to be healthy!!!!!! But she has a very long recovery ahead of her mentally and physically, and she needs the right people around her. I want her to live to be 93 years old!
