  • Rudy Giuliani might be in the crosshairs: subpoenas issued to people with ties to Giuliani and his associates indicate a broad federal investigation into possible money laundering, obstruction of justice and campaign-finance violations.
  • Texting with Rudy sounds pretty frustrating: "Most of the time, it’s like a Breitbart comments page. You’re just dealing with a troll. It’s funny, but after a while, it’s like, what’s the point?"
  • Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who has been caught lying numerous times, really hates it when people call her a liar.
  • JJ Abrams said that a script for the upcoming Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker ended up on eBay because one of the actors "left it under their bed and it was found by someone who was cleaning their place."

  • An intruder picked the wrong 82-year-old bodybuilder to mess with.
  • Party Down was one of the best shows of the decade—read a transcript of their reunion event here.
