His backpedalling form is excellent.

On CNN tonight, in the course of Super Tuesday analysis, activist and former White House advisor Van Jones took Donald Trump surrogate Jeffrey Lord to task over the Republican frontrunner’s white supremacist sophistry.

Tonight, as Chris Christie introduced Donald Trump and stood by him during his resounding victory speech, we got to witness the exact moment that the beautiful light in Chris Christie’s soul forever dimmed. Chris—it’s not too late, and no man deserves this fate. Please, blink twice for help.

A panel of justices from the New York State Supreme Court’s Appellate Division ruled against dismissing Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s $40 million lawsuit against Donald Trump’s now-defunct Trump University.

Tonight’s primary results have been a mixed bag for Ted Cruz, presidential candidate and corpse recently fished out of a swimming pool. But that won’t stop his campaign from partying at the “Redneck Country Club,” a Texas venue owned by an astoundingly racist radio host.

Welcome, patriots, to what history will almost certainly see as the night America sealed its gruesome fate. That’s right—it’s Donald Trump Victory Night. And judging by the various primaries and caucuses thus far, it’s sure to be a night we’ll never forget. No matter how hard we try.

In a speech celebrating his (in all likelihood) universal defeat on Tuesday, Marco Rubio courageously admitted Donald Trump’s supremacy. “He loves to talk about polls? We are seeing in state after state: His numbers coming down, our numbers going up.”

I can’t believe he called for larger and more powerful banks! Just kidding, happy Tuesday.

In a statement on Tuesday, Ben Carson lamented the “lack of civility” in the Republican primary race, which he said has become an “embarrassment on the world stage.” During the debate last week, Carson pleaded, “Can someone please attack me?”

On Tuesday, Bill Clinton sprinted around Massachusetts, putting in appearances at a variety of polling places, stumping for his wife, and skirting state rules for Election Day campaigning. One New Bedford woman posted a video showing long lines that accrued as voters were forced to wait for Clinton to leave.

Marco Rubio is almost certainly not going to come out of Super Tuesday a winner. This isn’t really in dispute, even by the people who work for him, who today explained to their most important funders that the Rubio campaign isn’t planning on winning any Super Tuesday states, or maybe even any states at all, ever.

The editorial staff of Gawker Media, which voted to unionize with the Writers Guild of America East last summer, has approved its first union contract. The vote was 88-2.

After tonight, unless the Super Tuesday polling is very, very wrong, Donald Trump will have largely finished crushing the rest of the Republican presidential field, and with it the plans of the various organizations and people who are described as making up the Republican party establishment. The Republican establishment will then begin making new plans, plans which involve supporting Donald Trump and trying to help him win the presidency in November.

Kristin Cavallari, whose debut book Balancing in Heels hits shelves this actual month of our lives, has a jewelry company. That jewelry company is called—for reasons I never dreamed of knowing 403 days ago—Emerald Duv. What does that mean?

Earlier today, Max Linsky, a co-founder of Longform, saw a supposed 20-minute delay at La Guardia turn into something closer to a 45-minute delay. And as he looked out the window, who does he see zipping by but Donald Trump himself. If you’re going to insist on being a fascist, the least you can do is be an efficient fascist.

Ben Carson’s campaign admits he doesn’t have a shot in hell at winning the GOP primary but won’t rule out a literal miracle making it happen.

It’s been nine long days since Jeb decided to stop punishing himself and finally end what was left of his campaign. So how’s our sweet, sad boy holding up? According to his most recent Snapchat, Jeb is either doing better than ever or has finally lost it. It’s impossible to say for sure.

Crazy story but bear with me: between 2010 and 2016, the NYPD may have conducted as many as 180 improper searches of people’s homes. It sure doesn’t sound like them, I know, but that’s what the statistics say.
