I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Amazing addtl detail about Scott Pelley telling off Nick Bilton (via NY post) “You wouldn’t do very well in a ’60 Minutes’ interview," Pelley said. "Scott, I’m not intimidated by you,” a ticked-off Bilton said in response. “Enjoy the bagels,” Bilton added before getting up and leaving the room.

Leavitt begins the press briefing: "Could you hear our 'amen' in there? We just had a little loud prayer as a team. In this holy week, President Trump and the First Lady are joining in prayer with Christians celebrating the resurrection of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ."

Trump gets angry at Fox News' Peter Doocy for asking about Russia helping Iran to kill Americans during his roundtable on college sports. Trump: "What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else." Priorities for the US Commander in Chief.

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Our political leaders & media voices must choose. Either use this latest act of political violence to further divide & inflame the American people or de-escalate. Either be partisan or speak the truth that NEITHER side has a monopoly on political violence & ALL sides must stop engaging in violence.

Irony about Rumsfeld is that Americans made the same mistake with him that they made with McNamara and later, with Trump: We are convinced that people who were in business can run the government like a business. It's a stupid, stupid belief but millions of Americans are wedded to it.
