Worked in the movie biz for many years. Politically progressive. Cranky. Judgmental. This does not make me wrong. I’m an Oscar voter, too. And I review theater and dance for politicsmoneyculture.com. After Trump's election I say, Don’t get mad. Get even.

Let's be perfectly clear!!!

Update from what Americans like to call the world’s greatest healthcare system.

Pay attention, class.

Daily reminder that Republicans don't have the backbone to stop Trump, and Democrats don't have the balls.

Trash headline after trash headline. This one portrays fascism as nothing more than a quirky new form of governance.

You ain't seen nothing yet, sad to say.

My choice for the next Bond villain. (And, no, I'm not joking.)

No, it's how you make America grate.

Here's a straight line: In 2019, Pete Hegseth encouraged President Trump to pardon accused war criminals. In 2025, Pete Hegseth and President Trump fired the military's top legal officers.

Get Ready For Delayed Tax Refunds, Long Hold Times After Mass IRS Firings But wealthy tax evaders will enjoy “a feast” as the strained federal agency lacks the resources to hold them accountable, said one tax policy expert.

Memo to Republicans whose heads are buried up their asses:

The ever diffident WSJ editors today ask their writers to tell us “what stood out on Trump’s first month.” Duh!

All hands on deck!

My take as a Californian is that we, the world’s fifth largest economy, should refuse to do any business with red states. They need our technology, agriculture, and ports more than we need anything from them. They vilify us, vote against our views, then take our money. To hell with them.

The peasants are revolting.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Poor Donald Trump. He was born with a silver-plated foot up his ass.

First they came for the immigrants...

200 million dollars of waste.

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

Take away health insurance from Congress. Let them buy coverage in the open market.

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

He nails it.

Daily reminder that without shameless hypocrisy, cruelty, and despotism the Republican Party would be out of business.

For those at the back…

Measles? Thanks to Trump’s disastrous RFK Jr appointment, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Isn’t it rich! A stunning Sondheim revue on stage now in Los Angeles.

Per Trevor Reed: “Ukraine needs to: 1. Ignore the US completely and refuse all US/Russia negotiations 2. Push for Europe to release frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine 3. Make a deal with Europe for continued support 4. Get European troops on the Belarusian border to free up their forces”

Take Russia's frozen assets now (written in December 2023, now even more urgent) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

That it's reasonably possible that this might be true, is enough to be very, very afraid for our future as a democratic nation,
