While Americans Starve, Trump Throws a Gala

 Thank you for your insight!

We periodically donate to our local food pantry and those people are absolutely miraculous in what they offer! Last year, they were buying EGGS in BULK and needed cartons to re-package - so the request was circulated. They also have a table that takes other ODDS N' ENDS that might be needed. We need to check their hours and make another contribution! These are OUR NEIGHBORS! Thanks for the reminder! Our local Council on Aging delivers MEALS ON WHEELS as well and we need to check with them as well. Let's not soely blame TRUMP! Where's the MAGA GOP that follow like SHEEP? The MILITARY standing in line for at FOOD PANTRIES? TRUMP can't even pretend because his brain is so fogged! Thank you for addressing NEW YORK CITY! You surely remember all of the clubs that provided inexpensive entertainment to rising talent! - HARLEM was safe & accessible - the venues where JAZZ rose. The VILLAGE with tiny spots....FANTASKTICKS ran for 42 years! 'Theatre so small you had to cross the stage to be seated - best not to arrive late! Jerry Orbach began there. And the NO NAME CLUB that had no sign - you just had to know it was there! STABLES converted to artists' studios! MAN OF LAMANCHA began on that dug out 'theatre.' It was a vibrant & exciting city with impressive talent that in spite of efforts, has not been created elsewhere. SOHO is unrecognizable. Now ELITE YUPPIEVILLE! In NEW JERSEY, the baffling thing is why so many supported Jack Ciattarelli. You raised the issue of ENERGY! TRUMP wallows in DIRTY ENERGY MONEY as he cancels OFFSHORE WIND PROJECTS that will provide enough energy to power more than 1 MILLION HOMES! CHINA is promoting CHEAP CLEAN SOLAR & prospering! They sell solar panels with battery backup that are affordable for poor communities that need cheap dependable electricity. CHINA is prospering! (ENERGY GUZZLING 'DATA CENTERS' gobble up water & much else.) ONE sign at the NO KINGS PROTEST read: I AM A WINDMILL CANCER SURVIVOR

For Trump, empathy is like one of his contractors — it never gets paid. Rick explores how Trump’s austerity policies, SNAP cuts, and Medicare rollbacks crushed millions while he partied with billionaires. The 2025 Democratic election surge wasn’t luck — it was justice. Rick Wilson is on X at @TheRickWilson, on Bluesky at @TheRickWilson.bsky.social, and you can check out Rick's Substack at therickwilson.substack.com.

Ramble On: Waiting for the Barbarians (video) Morning thoughts on exfiltrations, the gutting of the FDA, tomorrow's protests, and how to quiet the brain by visiting Alexandria Greg Olear Apr 4 Good morning! Here is today’s ramble: And here is the transcript, edited for clarity: Good morning. It is Friday, April 4th, 6:17 a.m. We’ve made it. Those of us who have made it have made it through another batshit crazy week, courtesy of Trump and Musk and Vance and this entire cockamamie administration. There’s so many things to discuss.  The Five 8  is gonna be lit tonight. I encourage you to watch that if you’re around, at 8 p.m. Eastern,  on our YouTube channel,  The Five 8 . This morning, I don’t know, I want to talk about a couple of things and my own emotional state this week, because I think that might be helpful. Two stories that really stuck out for me. One of them I wrote about on Monday, or Tuesday rather, in  the April Fool’s piece , which is that the ICE Ge...

CONGRESSMAN JAKE AUCHINCLOSS

  LAST 2 WEEKS IN REVIEW I’m your Representative in Congress and I write to keep you informed. The chaos and costs of Trump’s tariff strategy A junior varsity national security team  No one is above the law, or below it  Big ideas to govern better Hitting back on behalf of scientists Meeting with constituents in the MA-04   The chaos and costs of Trump’s tariff strategy   WSJ’s “dumbest trade war in history”:  The president announced sweeping tariffs this week, which amount to a $500+ billion tax hike on everyday Americans. The tariffs were calculated  nonsensically  and communicated incoherently. There is robust debate between policymakers and economists about how tariffs might help America, but every serious participant in that debate recognizes that the chaos of this tariff roll-out will cause pain for businesses, families, and allies alike.  I have often joined the tariff debate, generally arguing for free trade with the exception of Chin...

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH

WORTH READING! I stole this from Twitter but I read the book a long time ago. My father had a copy of it in our house when we were kids and he was not a closet Liberal, but a self-educated man from Smuteye Alabama. From @MarkJacob16 "With all the arguments over whether MAGA Republicans are fascists, I reread William Shirer’s “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” to see how much the rise of Hitler and the rise of MAGA smell similar...Conclusion: They do. I'm not saying that MAGA will end up as horrifically as Nazism. I am saying that America 2022 feels too much like Germany 1932, and I don't want to take the risk of watching MAGA cultism play out. We have to stop it now."This thread lists 10 ways. Please take a look. 1. A big lie about treachery is used to foment resentment. Nazis: We didn’t really lose World War I. It was a “stab in the back” by Jews and other "November criminals." MAGA: We didn’t really lose the 2020 election. It was a “steal” by politicia...
