On May 6, Barnett turns 100.

On May 10, there’s a champagne toast to him following an AB matinee.

On. May 11, there’s a a party from 11:00 a.m. to 1:oo p.m.

that contains assisted living and memory units.

Trump was determined to clear out of the Vatican immediately, so determined was he to return to Florida to play more golf. His suit, his demeanor, his panoply of gauchisms were an embarrassment to himself and, more importantly  to our country.

Can you imagine how the corporate media would have reacted had Biden behaved this way?  If Biden, as we saw Trump do, had fallen asleep during the service?

Biden’s deportment at the Vatican, needless to say, was flawless.

Yes, another “red line has been crossed,” with Trump’s fascist White House beginning to arrest judges who won’t condone its illegality. When are the Democrats going to wage a commensurate, proportionate response? There are no excuses anymore. There haven’t been for a long time.

Btw, where is the People’s Cabinet that Democratic House members were going to convene? Has any political party mastered the art of dithering like the post-Reagan Democrats?

Harris’s campaign was even more inept than Hillary Clinton’s or Kerry’s. And this is the record that Neoliberal corporate Democrats insist must be rewarded with more of the same patronage.

Why are we getting such a heavy dose of his disastrously reactionary views and reads on things? Hasn’t he done enough damage already to the Democratic Party, the city of Chicago, and the United States of America? What is he angling for? 

Prostate before Trump, fully complicit with his attempt to declare himself above the law, Paul,Weiss made the absurd and utterly reprehensible accusation that Mark Pomerantz was guilty of “wrongdoing” when he worked on  one of the many cases attempting to hold Trump to account for his boundless illegality. 

Senator Blumenthal and Rep. Raskin are demanding answers from Paul, Weiss regarding their possibly illegal cooperation with Trump, as well as from other mega firms that bent the knee to an aspiring dictator, a traitor who incited a coup against this country.

Thus new chair Ken Martin’s ultimatum to vice-chair David Hogg that no primary challengers be allowed, even in the midst of a party overburdened withe superannuated time servers. The neoliberal corporate Democratic establishment is determined to exert its will even at the price of the party’s own survival. 

If Hogg should be pushed out, any contribution to the DNC that you were thinking of making should instead be directed to Hogg’s Leaders We Deserve.

who are then texted by Trump and asked if they are Jewish. 

Akela Lacy of The Intercept broke the story.  “‘The federal government reaching out to our personal cellphones to identify who is Jewish is incredibly sinister,’ said Barnard associate professor Debbie Becher, who is Jewish and received the text.  “’They are clearly targeting what most of the United States, I hope and I think, defines as freedom of speech, but only in the case of anti-Israeli speech.'”

Sharon Otterman reports in The New York Times: “Nara Milanich, a Barnard history professor, said it reminded her of her research into 1930s Italy, when lists of Jews were put together by the local government. ‘We’ve seen this movie before, and it ends with yellow stars,’ she said.'”

Barnard has committed a serious beach of privacy rights.  In for a penny, in for a pound: as Barnard-Columbia continues to collaborate with Trump, he continues to withhold their funding.  These joint administrations are actively participating their own debasement by Trump. 

Linda McMahon tells us that it’s the fault of students pursuing “worthless” degrees–she believes in college only as vocational training–that justifies Trump’s new initiative to gouge debt-ridden graduates. I guess McMahon’s B.A. in French was worthless, too, since it didn’t prepare her for her future career in the ring. The last thing in the world the GOP wants is an electorate capable of critical thinking. Not since Lauren Boebert assailed students seeking debt relief as habitudes of lesbian dance classes has the Trump’s regime attempt to stigmatize education been so frankly expressed.

was to use the imaginary wealth he would claim was flooding into the country as justification for attempting to entirely repeal income tax–that’s why he keeps claiming that the years leading up to 1913, when income tax was first instituted,  were America’s wealthiest. And of course, Wall Street and Silicon Valley would support that–it’s just that they can’t stomach the damage done to them by the tariffs.
