Happy Easter weekend… To those who observe, and likewise to those who celebrate Passover. We have a bunch of family in town and are enjoying the city and its new traditions.
Like I said in Friday’s Morning Shots, this weekend marks the halfway point of Spring Break. Many of us have kids, so if you see somebody subbing on a show or on a newsletter, that’s why. For those parents out there, please enjoy this monologue from John Mulaney’s Everybody’s Live.

Don't dishonor the legacies of Lincoln and Reagan… by lumping them in with Trump, argues Phil Heimlich in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
When the second Trump White House promises to do something lawless — they mean it… At MSNBC, Anthony L. Fisher argues: ‘This administration hasn't been constrained by the Constitution or the Supreme Court — and no one in America is immune from being targeted.’
Apparently… You can attempt to trademark something as vague as “beef tallow fries.”

Reading Will Saletan, I can’t help but wonder what the next round of Trump advisers and cabinet members will look like. How do you go downhill from these people?
I woke up this morning thinking that the Felon has given up on his "promises" to end the war in Ukraine and to build a beautiful resort in "U.S owned" Gaza after he removes millions of Palestinians. Neither have we recently heard much about his taking over Panama and annexing Greenland. All BIG talk from a guy who is incapable of being effective in any setting. So he resorts to sending goons to kidnap immigrants (legal or not) and withholding federal funds from important organizations and threatening universities. He's a petty little drip who CLAIMS he will make America great again....but hasn't a clue about how to actually make anything great....so he heads to the golf course where he has to CHEAT to win a game.
