Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, we have a clip of Steve Schmidt opining on Trump’s “delicate flower” of an ego; then, on the rest of the menu, we’ll examine why Alabama Republicans just can’t admit Doug Jones won fair and square; ICE kept ninety-two immigrants shackled on a plane for two days in “slave ship conditions;” and, since so many immigrants are being deported, Paul Ryan says white American women need to have more babies to stimulate economic growth.

After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table for an examination of the “unusual” amicus brief co-written by fourteen former US officials refuting key points of Trump’s Russia denial; and, amid news that two of Trump’s judicial nominees had been summarily rejected by congressional republicans, lies a darker truth.

All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Justice Putnam.

Bon Appetit!
