A word about Conan O’Brien, who I’m lucky enough to know a little bit. He is extremely funny and has drawn people to him his whole life by his talent. But he is also amazingly kind, generous and collaborative. He gave dozens of people a start or a second chance. What’s Irish for mensch?

So Musk’s people, who misread $8 million as $8 billion, who counted the same contracts multiple times and counted as savings programs that ended last year, claim that their AI is finding lots of Social Security fraud. Why should anyone worry?

Brilliant! Rather than boycott Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress, some Democratic lawmakers are inviting former federal workers to the speech on Tuesday as a way to protest the mass firings and funding cuts that have defined Trump’s first month back in office, per NYT.

The Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

This is a bigger scandal than people realize. It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance. If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was. Putin.

Take J. Edgar Hoover and then make him 30 times worse. The whole nation will suffer for this folly. Suffer so much more than anyone yet realizes. This was a critical benchmark Trump had to hit to advance his plan to destroy democracy. Everyone who voted for Kash Patel should live in infamy forever.
