When Jonathan Larsen first launched his newsletter and called it "The Fucking News," I thought it was quite clever. Now I know it was perfect and prescient. Jonathan joins me on the show each Monday to help us get a handle on what's happening in the news and set the stage for the week.
It reminds of of the limbo dance. It's really a game that asks, "How low can you go?" The aim is to pass forward under a bar, which keeps getting set lower and lower, without falling or dislodging the bar.
Unfortunately, in this Trumpian world, there seems to be no bottom. The lows keep going lower and there is no winner!
Last week we were incredulous about the war the orange madman injected us in to. This week, I still can't believe we couldn't find enough Republicans in a Congress with the tiniest majority margin to vote against the most damaging piece of legislation in our nation's history.
And now we move back to the tariffs to inflict yet more pain on the American people, enough of whom are masochists still under the spell of that madman asking him to hurt them more.
When will it end? Or maybe I should ask, Will it end? Subscribe to both TheFuckingNews.substack.com and JonathanLarsen.substack.com!
Hopefully Jonathan will lighten the mood a bit!
BTW, I mentioned the website to sign up for a General Strike... it's generalstrikeus.com.
And tomorrow, Wendell Potter will join us to tell us how the Big Ugly Tax & Kill bill will affect your healthcare.
