Now let’s see how quickly and how many heretofore spineless R lawmakers flee the sinking ship, and how quickly and how many heretofore spineless, corporate Ds start screaming!!!

AIPAC is gonna AIPAC.

I am glad to see Jen focus on it it Illinois races and for Simon to acknowledge it is not a fringe concern.

AIPAC contributes mightily to candidates on both sides of the aisle, and currently is looking to install pro-Iran-war electeds by expanding their influence in primary season. Like the gun lobby, but worse, IMHO. The veil is lifted

Israel totally has a right to exist, but Netanyahu and Trump are criminal enterprises that have joined forces. They must be defeated and removed from power.

Keep pushing everyone. Im making my calls and a contribution to audaciuos fund today.

Mr. RosenbergI greatly appreciate your positive attitude, your confidence, and perspective. Thank you for staying on top of the political scene and relaying the fall of Donald Trump in a clear and concise manner!

I once had one of “those” pre-work mornings where I was struggling to get out of the house to get to a meeting with the other supervisors in my downtown federal building. I made it on time and sat through the meeting, nicely dressed, and only later realized I had done nothing with my hair but dry it with a towel. Explained the amused looks I was getting. I’d have traded wild rat’s-nest hair for an inside-out shirt in a heartbeat!

Going to watch the interview now.

Short term gain …decades long pain..

Michael G Baer's avatar

I dont see the gain.

Israel is bombing the sh*t out of southern Lebanon in attempt ti defeat hezbollah. A million Lebanese displaced already.

Huge humanitarian crises throughout the middle east.

Stop the F*n war now !!!

Momentary distraction from Epstein, the Supreme Court, news of the day = a win for Trump. Argh!

Great conversation! I love Norm, but I can't listen to him yell when he gets enthusiastic. Thanks for the transcript.

Hello Simon. Since my last message, on your recommendation i donated $500 to Paige,and $500 to JoAnna Mendoza through direct donations on Act Blue. I am only posting in case you want track donations. I don’t need to make this public, but I don’t know if there is a different system for you to monitor what contributions come in as a result of your interviews or recommendations. Is there an email site or something so that I don’t need to post? Or alternatively, I can just do it without notifying your team.

A fabulous share this morning with the contrarians, Simon. I am gleeful about all the failure and about the world standing up to the big blubbery mad idiot. But I am very worried for los pobres de la Tierra including all Americans who are already suffering. Thanks everyone for keeping on keeping on!

My husband and I were excited to vote for Stratton and so glad she won! The number one factor in our voting for her was her standing up to ICE and trump and making that clear in her ads and outreach. Whoever fights back the hardest gets our vote.

I so enjoyed this - and, also, it was therapeutic. Some kind Hopiates responded to my comments of late re my blood pressure and Trump's/Repubs impact on my home readings which were worrisome.

This morning - I just was outside for about 2 hours, walking along the Hudson, running errands and taking myself out for breakfast where I watched the live stream of the above while I ate my avocado toast and poached egg. I laughed at Simon's shirt (but was happy his shaving cut was healed) and Norm's anecdote about davening with Waxman. Jen is always a joy to be with because most people don't have half of her knowledge and moxy.

In sum: I DID NOT watch the first part of the hearings in the morning (I did in the afternoon).

And you know what: I GOT A NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE READING!!!

Thanks Simon, Jen & Norm and all you Hopiates who put up with my kvetching.
