I've never been a soap opera fella (Dark Shadows aside), but Anthony Geary was such a phenomenon, even *I* knew who he was.

Goodbye to him.

When I first interviewed Rob Reiner he told me: “There’s no question about it. This is the most corrupt and criminal presidency that we’ve ever seen. Not only corrupt and criminal. He’s inept. He’s not qualified, and he’s incredibly stupid.”

Still holds true to this very day. RIP Rob and Michele.

Rob Reiner wanted you to remember the goodness of humanity. Donald Trump wants you to be miserable at all times and think that nothing good will ever happen again. But as the kids say, better things are possible.

The real choice Democrats face is not between a continuing resolution that allows the government to function normally or a government shutdown.

Under the Trump regime, the government is not functioning normally. It is already shutting down.

Democrats must not legitimize Trump's coup.

The Supreme Court today questioned Trump's use of emergency powers to levy tariffs.

Perhaps they're finally realizing what the rest of us already know.

Other countries aren't paying for the tariffs. We are. https://youtu.be/AfVGUiet39E?si=d0zTlOiRdMCuv6ke

This Republican shutdown isn’t about responsible governance. It’s about cruelty and control — and a president who treats hunger as a weapon against his own people.

This is another reminder of how crucial it is to vote up AND down the ballot.

While not receiving much attention in the media, down-ballot positions are a critical line of defense against Trump-MAGA extremism.

Remember this as we head into an important election year in 2026.
1. JD Vance dismissed Tuesday's election as “a couple of elections in blue states.”

But there were significant contests around the country, including in purple and red states.

From coast to coast, voters rejected the MAGA agenda.

Let's review.

The media tends to regurgitate Trump’s words as if they were news.

They aren’t news. They’re postures. His words and thoughts add nothing to our understanding of anything. Yet the media reproduces them as if they did.

Memo to the media: Give us the news.
What's the "news" under Trump?

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
