Stormy Daniels returned to the stand today for more grilling from the orange one's lawyer whose name is pronounced necklace (spelled Necheles) who basically seemed to rehabilitate Daniels today, however unintentionally. According to reports, Stormy was much more composed, in control and funnier today. I'll share some tidbits before we move on...

It's Thursday, so Howie Klein is here. It's a shocker, but Howie believes much of Congress is corrupt, and he has a piece up at DownWithTyranny about just that, and features a bunch of retiring members answering the question, "is Congress corrupt?".
It's almost as funny as Stormy Daniels was today.

Sorry, no sex (unless you count the encounter between Stormy Daniels & TFG "sex"... it isn't/wasn't... it's just yuck), but lots of rock and roll and yes, politics, on today's show.

It's a Wednesday worthy of another edition of THE MAL-LADIES a couple of women talking about all that ails us (and we may venture there for a minute or two) but we have more important things to discuss.
Dayna Steele returns to the show today to shoot the shit and yes, she has lots to talk about.
She is the Democrat running for Congress from TX36 (her second try). But hers is a campaign like no others. She'll explain.

If you're from Houston then you likely know Dayna from her many years rocking Texas middays on KLOL. Or perhaps you own one of her books or listen to her "Surviving Alzheimers" podcast or have seen her play THE WOMAN IN THE MIRROR.... I could go on and on, but we'll do it live. So just listen.

Stormy Daniels spent the day on the stand in NYC at TFG's trial. We'll discuss some of the highlights (or lows, depending on your point of view),

But we'll begin today on a different subject -- the future of Social Security and Medicare. A breaking news alert crossed my desk yesterday proclaiming that Social Security & Medicare will run out of money in about 10 years if Congress doesn't act. I figured we were due for a discussion on this all-important issue, so we called in the expert.

Alex Lawson, executive director of Social Security Works is here at the start of the show to explain what's up...

Mondays are always difficult by definition, so we try to make them a bit more palatable by kicking off each fucking week with The Fucking News, as written and delivered by Jonathan Larsen who does his reporting for us daily at thefuckingnews.substack.com. Lots to discuss today from the possible ceasefire between Israel & Hamas, TFG on trial, TFG wannabe Veep-stakes, same sex marriage in the church and lots more...

Every Friday, Marcy Wheeler joins us from emptywheel.net to talk about some of the news she covered in the previous week. Today, a little Trump trial stuff mixed in with a whole lot about Bill Barr and his role in framing Joe Biden and, of course, Hunter Biden. And more...
