David Waldman, Greg Dworkin and we are under the cloud of a domestic commercial airline disaster, just a few days after Trump/Elon fixed it. ON BLUE SKY, experts have predicted something like this for a while in the area. President Why Don’t They Just demanded to know why didn’t they just avoid colliding up there, then realized that black and gay people might be involved, then remembered that Obama and Buttigieg actually were involved. Whew! Disaster averted!  Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy adroitly asked, “Does this stuff normally happen, or what?” Gop Tim Burchett begs fellow Republicans to just shut up already, Jeez! Dems are deliberating on a sternly worded letter that they hope to release this fiscal year.

Did you ever think that maybe this administration can’t be this stupid? They probably are, though. It is after all what their voters demand over everything.

Using military jets for deportations is an ugly, wasteful, and a super-cool photo op that will be played on a loop in corporate media. If they can find a well-lit faucet in California Trump will send Seal Team 6 and a Fox News crew there. Gitmo is the perfect concentration camp for Trump, even if he never sends anyone there. Mel Gibson is slated to direct. The scene opens with masked strangers in body armor attempting to kidnap children, only to be turned away by newly-armed military-trained elementary school teachers.

David gives his analysis of Kevin Elliott’s analysis of Ezra Klein's analysis of why Republicans just walk over and kick you in the balls. What young impetuous newcomers in DC don’t realize is that those dinosaurs they want out of the way have evolved an extremely tenacious grip that will not be broken unless that meteorite bops them directly on the forehead, and even then…

Meanwhile, Israel released 110 Palestinian prisoners after Gaza released theirs. They’re still getting the hang of it.
