Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

This is terrible. The Trump administration not only fired Coast Guard Admiral Linda Fagan, but a Trump official told her she had only three hours to vacate her house. Don’t ever tell me Republicans support the military.

Texas should not pass voucher Bill without properly funding public education first. Why do private school kids get 10K while public school students get 6K? Inequality starts at the Texas Legislature. Tell. your State Senator to Vote Nay on SB2. #PubEd #TxLege

Folks, this is a very big deal to have political appointees in charge of every government check. Maybe Dems have more to say about this? Might be a good time to raise the roof.

As a casual non-white observer, it’s so bizarre to see folks work so hard to try to prove their superiority over someone like me when they could spend that time actually bettering their own lives and…I don’t know, be happy instead of miserable fucks.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
