- Thousands of young-ish protesters of every race swarm 5th and 6th Ave the Empire State Building.
00:00 - Mindy Kaling wore Prabal Gurung. Anna Wintour hooked her up. How'd she arrive? "I took the 6 from Nolita," she says.
- A lesbian Native American is now a congresswoman in Kansas, which has a new Democratic woman as governor. Colorado has a gay governor, first openly gay gov in US history. Midwest flipping blue. Adam Schiff is the chairman of the intelligence committee. And Beto can focus on 2020.
- More protest signs at The Puck Building, which is owned by Ivanka Trump's husband, Jared Kushner.
- Instead of screaming into the wind about Trump's attacks on the press, let's subscribe to the Capital Gazette for $2 a week and put money behind the idea journalists aren't enemies. First 4 weeks just $0.99. Cancel whenever. Link here: tinyurl.com/y9l457hk. Please RT.
- Bill Perkins, a Senator from the 30th District. At the anti-Trump protests.
- Abortion rights are a big theme of the protests this week.
00:00- Signs that say "Lead with Love" and "We Shall Overcome." At Trump Tower.
- More people at the anti-Trump protests leading up 5th Ave towards Trump Tower.
00:00 - A hymn at the funeral for Donald Trump's sister contained the following lines... “The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him. His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure." "One has to wonder," the cantor told me. "She picked all of them."
- “I didn’t enjoy having to call Donald Trump and congratulate him for having won four years ago but I did it because that’s part of my job, the same way George Bush called me and invited me and facilitated my transition,” Obama tells @CapehartJ on MSNBC.
- Also worth noting that Shakespeare in the Park is part of the Public Theater, a non profit that Cynthia Nixon represents (or represented) officially for the Mayor. It’s by no means a personal favor.Absolutely painful back-and-forth between Cuomo & Nixon here. Cuomo tries to accuse Nixon of being "a corporation" and donating as "a corporation" to get special favors in NYC. The "favor"? She requested no helicopters above "Shakespeare in the Park" so people could hear.
