After a morning rewatch this was even better than I remember last night. One thing I didn't really notice before was the amazing use of space. Most of the songs were in the smaller defined spaces and we only get glimpses of the whole scale until the end. Masterful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDor...

I do think Trump is rapidly careening towards having completely blown apart all of his political capital and support by attempting to do every insane thing he's ever thought of at once before he even manages to have a cabinet in place.

The last time the GOP attempted to undercut the Affordable Care Act, they lost more than 40 House seats in the 2018 midterms. It just dawned on them that we will do it again in 2026. Instead of taxing the rich, they want to cut social programs Americans depend on. www.politico.com/live-updates...

I got to explain the 14th amendment to my class today. Many didn’t know it was a reconstruction amendment. This is why one of the best things we can do is provide the history behind what leads to the madness. People truly don’t know.
