President Trump found out this week he isn’t invincible. Much of his MAGA base couldn’t understand his reluctance to show the Epstein records. But soon enough they began to forgave their leader. Hal Ginsberg and I covered many topics Tuesday on Hal’s YouTube videocast Halitics. We see climate catastrophes being more frequent and worsened by cuts to the agencies that are supposed to help. Department of Education? Who needs it? Right-wing social media is angrier and crueler, yet attracts our disillusioned young men.

The war in Gaza sees more and more deaths from Israeli bombardment, and Ukraine must endure increasing attacks from Putin. Hal long ago lost confidence in the Democratic Party. My feeling is that the party is weak because they lost every platform to provide alternatives, and both of us agree the party has weak leadership. It doesn’t help that the president blames Biden and his party for every problem Trump can’t solve. Is there good news anywhere?
