Is the corporate media so lame they have to follow Trump’s wet-dream three-peat!? It is just so much bull. A distraction from the real issue, “what about the Epstein files?” #releasethefiles

Trump is the star of his own TV reality series in which we are NPCs, a series we seemingly must also watch on a daily, if not hourly, basis. I just want to turn it off!!

From Heather Cox Richardson re DJT’s speech at the United Nations:

“The speech …struck at the heart of the very concept of the United Nations…

“A senior foreign diplomat at the U.N. texts me,” Ishaan Tharoor wrote, “‘This man is stark, raving mad. Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?’”

Disney claims it made a business decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show. Wonder how Bob Iger would feel about a “business decision” for families to boycott his Disney properties? #FreeJimmyKimmel

The proverbial stopped clock is right twice a day. Musk is correct. Navarro is perhaps the dumbest of Trump's apparatchiks. Only a true dunce would volunteer to go to prison for Trump. Which is exactly what Navarro did. The collected smarts of Trump's top personnel could fit in an Altoids can.

We the people are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover. On April 5, 5.2 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy!

Save the date for our next national day of action on April 19th.
