Our first show today. Thank you @anneapplebaum for joining!

"You have to talk about the person you're running against to beat them... In the case of 2024 politics [Trump's] the bad guy— Trump's still trying to walk away from all of this with immunity. How can you make him your hero?" — @HardballChris on how Nikki Haley can defeat Trump
"The law is coming after Donald Trump and it's going to get him... The people who believe a liar all the time are crazy." — @HardballChris on Trump's constant lies and the ignorance of his supporters. nbcnews.to/47HxYz7

Today we honored the life and laughter of Mark Russell at Annunciation church. For all those nights at the Shoreham Hotel he told the honest, outrageous truth of Watergate. Thank God for Mark and Ali Russell.
