| | | The Witcher Promises to Be Netflix's Response to Game of Thrones | | For anyone not familiar with the video games or the indie book series, photos of Henry Cavill with a luxurious long, white wig from the upcoming Witcher series might look pretty bizarre. But the series, which debuts later this year on Netflix, comes from an immensely popular multi-media franchise created by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski that looks to be the streaming service's buzzy, fantasy response to Game of Thrones.

Are They Insane, or Just Lying? | | Nancy Pelosi took a break from shirking her responsibility to hold a lawless president accountable before he destroys what's left of the institutions undergirding the American republic to drag some members of her own caucus this past weekend. As my colleague Charles P. Pierce has detailed, Pelosi dismissed four rising stars in her caucus—Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley—as "these people" who "have their public whatever and their Twitter world, but they didn't have any following.

The opposition party controls exactly one center of power in the tripartite government and two seats—occasionally, three—on the Supreme Court. And under the leadership of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leadership in the House of Representatives has chosen to do precisely squat about the situation, choosing instead to pick a fight with its youngest and most charismatic members who, by the way, are pretty much the only members of the House who have gone to see the atrocities first hand.
