I’m meant to maintain some air of objectivity at Trump’s selection of J.D. Vance for vice president, but I can’t be bothered. It’s just excellent. By appointing him, Trump guarantees that the Republican Party will never go back to being neocon warmongers run by Wall Street. To channel Kamala Harris, I believe Vance shows us what the Republican Party could be, unburdened by what it has been.

Fleishman is in Trouble was one of the funniest novels of 2020, and it catapulted Taffy Brodesser-Akner, a New York Times journalist, into the spotlight with a US TV series two years later.

It is centered around a wealthy family living in a suburb of Long Island, who owe their fortune to the late patriarch, a Jewish European émigré who set up a successful factory making polystyrene foam moulds.

It has now been about forty-eight hours since Thomas Matthew Crooks, a socially isolated twenty-year-old, attempted to assassinate Donald Trump, lightly injuring the former president, and fatally wounding an attendee at his rally.

Donald Trump has chosen J.D. Vance as his US vice-presidential running mate — but the author of Hillbilly Elegy has some, erm, interesting views on the UK. At a conference last week, Vance said that the UK could become “the first truly Islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon” after Labour’s landslide election victory. He told an audience at the National Conservatism event: I have to beat up on the UK — just one additional thing. I was talking with a friend recently.

Yeezy porn may have been put on ice, but Kanye West is still intent on bringing debauchery to the world. West’s wife Bianca Censori, whom the rapper often styles in, well, nothing, was spotted in one of her most scandalous outfits yet, evoking outrage for the couple’s X-rated stunts.  On Monday, the Australian architect and model was on her way to the Melrose Tanning Company in Los Angeles in nothing but underwear and a completely see-through top.
