@podsaveamerica.crooked.com - you guys pondered what message the Dems should have in any shutdown fight in the latest pod. How about getting Repubs to oppose any future recisions? There's a good argument the budget process is now pointless if appropriations can just be cancelled at Trump's will.

This is breaking my heart tonight.

YouTube video by WGN News Remembering Lori Cannon, Chicago LGBTQIA+ activist, dead at 74

So many memories, and a lot of tears. Lori Cannon helped feed and advance the Chicago lgbt+ and larger HIV/AIDS communities through the hate-filled 80s and 90s, and kept on going for decades. She was a fierce ally. The world Is now a lesser place. youtu.be/4wZcnXeNQDA?...

Consistently, one of the clearest-speaking business reporters out there. If you're not listening to NPR's Marketplace, you should be.

I was so waiting for your takes on this morning's PSA. And I can't wait to hear Lovett go off on it.

@karaswisher.bsky.social was wondering what the "embarrassing" and "intimate" conversations could have been between Gov. Abbott and Musk... Given Abbott's paralysis, I'm thinking Neuralink.

So, what would be so "personal" or "embarrassing" in emails/texts between wheelchair-bound Texas Gov. Abbott and Elon Musk? Neuralink, anyone.

It seems like Netanyahu has become a real net negative for our current president. He typically doesn’t handle that well. More popcorn, please…

Also, Chris Murphy has a great sounding new PAC focused on supporting grassroots protest efforts.

I’m not dissing beards - I like how the Dens are sporting them. It just seems like a memo has been sent.

Watching Sen. Chris Murphy on @jenpsaki.msnbc.com … What is it with Gen X/Millennial male Dem politicians and the beards, today? Do you have to go all Vance/Eric/Jr. in order to speak to your cohorts these days? 😂

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com is doing a great job explaining the whole Trump/Musk breakup and broader BBB <bill abbreviation or choral exercise, you decide > Republican opposition.

Trump Issues Proclamation Suspending Foreign Students at Harvard The action is the president’s latest attack on the Ivy League school.

This is f’ing insane! www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

Rewatching the last Mission Impossible film before the new one comes out… it is so prescient in who it pegged the enemy to be in those days.

This feels a lot like that early period of Covid when some people were shouting about how bad it was going to be while guys like Trump and Musk were predicting it would be over by April.

Hyannis, Mass., on Cape Cod. Easily 2,000 people.

The Residence is such a great kick-off to a possible franchise. Cordelia Cupp is such an engaging character.

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

YouTube video by Free Documentary - Engineering Colossal Shipbuilding: Construction of a Modern Cruise Marvel | FD Engineering

This is a fascinating documentary. As someone who’s only recently become obsessed with cruise ships, I was blown away at what could be built in 18 months. youtu.be/dBAkvWr1-Ds?...

That could be a very good thing if it coalesces that base anger.

My current take on the Trump/Elon relationship: Trump’s always wanted an indepently successful son and Elon has always wanted a dad who appreciated his accomplishments. Match made in therapy. @karaswisher.bsky.social, does this make sense to you?

YouTube video by The Economic Times 'Where's Elon Musk, he is not above the law…': John Larson blasts DOGE head at Congress hearing

Rep. Larson is amazing. @karaswisher.bsky.social and @profgalloway.com him on either of your podcasts. youtu.be/HBW0ZyiNER4?...

Five years ago, this was when everything went to sh!t. How well did that job-holder handle crisis? He was pretty pro-vaccine development, then. It was possibly the only positive boost he gave to the country, before he started suggesting we inject bleach in our arms. How are we in this spot, again?

Your dad needs a YouTube channel, says this lefty-liberal gay guy from Cape Cod (NOT Ptown).

And y’all thought those dystopian science fiction movies were science fiction.

It was such an ambush.

@karaswisher.bsky.social - please cover this more. Especially with @profgalloway.com

Five States Are Urging SCOTUS to End Marriage Equality An additional four states have introduced legislation that would create a category called “covenant marriage” that could only occur between a man and a woman.

First they came for the trans people…

Seriously, they are actively trying to destroy the United States. They are actively taking down every area where we have expertise and global leadership. How would a next Dem president even begin to put this all back together, again?

It’s breaking my brain that we would be pissing on Europe in favor of Putin.
