just taking tonight to really appreciate all these years of journalistic tut-tut-tutting about how over-the-top it was for anyone to focus on trump's affinity for russia and putin.

It seems like an eternity, but Tuesday marks the seventh week of this despicable regime. I’d like to talk about coping with the stresses of this era. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/taking-heart

Thank you to our Mea Culpa and Political Beatdown sponsor @GetGraza, the finest olive oil I have ever tasted!

As much as I love the Kennedy Center, I wholeheartedly agree with this. Also who is going to want to go anyway now that the shows will all be that one opera guy, Kid Rock and "Christian*" musicals that Jesus would flipped tables over?

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...

In this fascinating case, Ward Brehm, president of the U.S. African Development Foundation sued DOGE over its attempted takeover of the agency on Wednesday. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

We also used to fly paper planes and throw around apples. Goofy adolescent shit. It was always amusing to push someone's desk until the teacher barked, "What are you doing back there?" I won't say I recommend Detention Hall, but I met a lot of cool people there.

Already a ton of interest in hitting the road in California and hosting town halls in Republican districts. Where should we go first?

Are we great again yet?

Trump is holding a crypto summit today to promote a "national crypto reserve," which would likely enrich himself and his crypto industry donors. Who will get left holding the bag for the largest Ponzi scheme in history? American taxpayers.

MAGA may not have ever received the Epstein files, but the Trump administration did just put the prosecutor who prosecuted Ghislaine Maxwell on leave!

In high school, I spent a lot of time in Detention. A teacher proctering we miscreants used to describe New Yorker cartoons and ask us to supply the captions. The NYer currently now has such a contest. I think it's even more fun to look at the cover and think up what the title might be.
