18:00 (6 pm) - The Authoritarian Takeover of America w/Susanna
I want to follow up with “Bring the News” discussion about Ezr a Klein and his 9/11 cringe op-ed about Charlie Kirk and play Klein’s earlier 9/7 podcast. I believe the real purpose of the Kirk op-ed was solely meant as a CYA and appeasement to the Trump Regime and MAGA specifically because his 9/7 Podcast aggressively eviscerates Trump and his Cabinet. 9/7 Podcast “Stop Acting Like this is Normal”. Klein argued his case for the DEMs to shut down “Trump’s” Government.
19:00 (7 pm) - Bring the News w/Whomever Brings It
If you come across an article or bit of news that you feel the group would find interesting read it aloud (or ask someone to) and open the floor to discussion.

I would like to invite everyone to join me for the mystery crime/comedy series, Poker Face. A Columbo inspired drama.
A mystery-of-the-week series following Charlie Cale, who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road in her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve. Guest stars are plentiful throughout, from Ellen Barkin and Adrien Brody to Luis Guzmán and Chloë Sevigny. An inverted detective series, also known as a “howcatchem” and popularized by “Columbo,” the crime and perpetrator are shown at the beginning of each episode, and follows Charlie as she tries to solve the mystery.
