It’s a dark time for the United States. The First Amendment is under assault. Today, after spending several days with leaders who occasionally dismember unfriendly journalists with chainsaws, Trump threatened Bruce Springsteen after the music icon called him “treasonous” at a concert in England.

You can read more about this chilling development here.

My Over It! cohosts Michelle Kinney and Tara Setmayer joined me for a Substack Live today to discuss why this is all about much more than Springsteen. We also traded stories about The Boss. (Tara even wore her Jersey Girl baseball hat but since she mysteriously prefers Bon Jovi to Springsteen, the jury is out on her Garden State bona fides.)

Check out our discussion above and let me know your thoughts in the chat.

In the meantime, join Michelle, Tara, JoJoFromJerz and me on Saturday morning at 10 AM for this week’s Coffee and Conversation. You catch it here.

Stay Salty,

Julie
