Can report excellent turn out in Hampton Bays No Kings protest. Raining hard. Still showed up. Favorite sign—MAGA—Morons Are Governing America!

I wrote about five cases in recent days that may mark a turn on immigration, including one case in Missouri, that gave me hope in the humanity of our fellow Americans! open.substack.com/pub/theweekl...

Trump and his minions turn out to be hungry cannibals. Couldn’t happen to a better bunch, though I fear the Trump/Musk quarrel may not be real.

Trump’s China ‘Deal’ Is Bad Economics and Bad for Democracy (The Bulwark). Insightful and Alarming.

Maybe I missed this and I do think Biden did a wonderful job on foreign affairs, BUT it sure seems like we did not try hard enough on the 12 American hostages Hamas took. Never a day count or regular publication of their plight. Happy to be wrong, but am I?

It is confounding that Supreme Court Justices Alioto and Thomas act like there is no history. Do either of them honestly believe their corruption and warped opinions will survive? Do they honestly believe they will not be condemned by legal historians and subsequent legal analysts?

My impeccable sources are hearing the penguins are surrendering in the tariff fight—Trump gets a bigly win!

@schumer.senate.gov ; ok Minority Leader of House with condemnation. Where are you?

@schumer.senate.gov : The NY Times article about Musk hurting American Government activities that the Chinese government also wants defanged is stunning! Coming 24 hours after revealing that Hegseth the nitwit was going to brief Musk on potential US Operation Plans against China, it is truly scary!

@schumer.senate.gov , Senator Schumer is a diligent, smart guy. But his inability to avoid being rolled is troublesome. The Senate returns another long holiday on Monday March 24. If the Senate is still functioning on unanimous consent on Tuesday, that is compelling evidence that he is out of ideas.

@schumer.senate.gov : I am trying to be helpful though I suspect you will not experience it that way, but here goes—No more unanimous consent, call the quorum repeatedly. These are recommendations from CoPilot on how to slow Senate business way, way down. You are welcome.

@schumer.senate.gov : if the US Senate is able to function without every dilatory trick in the rules being tried, you have not tried hard enough. Shut it down!

Hey, hey, Elon, how many kids did you kill today? See The NY Times article on deaths from cancellation of USAID.

Legislators almost always choose waiting over deciding. In the case of Schumer, I fear he is a classic parliamentarian, rather than a political leader. To know for at least a month that the choice he had to make was binary, with both choices being bad, and still fail to be creative is a failure.

Bezos, the warehouseman, was so inspired by the Katharine Graham documentary about this strong, brilliant, courageous first female publisher of the Washington Post that he committed to making a documentary about his favorite female hero, Melanie Trump. Well done, Jeff!

Trump, Musk, and Vance: you think folks are in the street now over egg prices; wait till they find out avocados are $2.00 each. Making TexMex food expensive, in the immortal words of that immoral Homan, will rain hell on you.
