Everything is going to run late today because I’m on vacation near Denver, two hours behind my usual eastern time zone.
The featured post today is “Yes, he does think you’re stupid”, which outlines how I think Democrats should respond to the continuing strife in MAGA World concerning Jeffrey Epstein. That should be out shortly, maybe by 10 EDT (8 Mountain Daylight).
The weekly summary will then cover Congress’ vote to defund $9 billion of money it had already appropriated, focused on cutting public broadcasting and foreign aid; the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s late-night TV show; the poet Andrea Gibson, who I had never been aware of before her death this week; Trump’s attempt to rescue a fellow autocrat wannabee, Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, from his well-deserved legal jeopardy; the harm anti-abortion laws have done to women’s health; and a few other things, culminating in your moment of schadenfreude, the CEO who got caught on the kisscam at a Coldplay concert. That should appear by 11 EDT, or 9 Mountain.
