Sometimes I can’t believe that MASH was as good as I remember. Then I see clips and realize it was better.

This has to stop. Has to.

This is who put USAID “in a wood chipper,” slashed jobs across the govt to leave our health services, our national parks, our education system, Social Security & Medicaid in shambles. Oh, and he and his minions have all your private data. Well done, Speaker Johnson. Folks it’s all about 2026.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...
