- Washington Post’s weather reporters yesterday vs Donald Trump today.
- A few hours after NBC announced that Norm MacDonald had been removed from SNL’s “Weekend Update,” MacDonald went on Letterman to talk about it. Clip is from 1998 — incredible stuff. Can’t believe I’d never seen this before.
00:00 - Trump, angry about LaVar Ball's comments, tweets that he "should have left" LiAngelo Ball in jail. Stephen Colbert: “Mr Trump, I know you’re upset — but maybe now is not the time to imply that someone’s kids should go to jail for what their dad did.”
- BREAKING: Robert Redfield told staff to delete an email where Trump appointee attempted to assert control over CDC’s scientific reports, CDC official told Congress this week.
- Merrick Garland was nominated on March 16, 2016 — or 237 days before that year’s election. McConnell said that was too close to Election Day for Obama to pick and voters should decide. Justice Kennedy announced his retirement today — 132 days before this year’s election.
- It's been four weeks since more than 500 people were shot by one man in Las Vegas. Congress has done nothing in response.
- Went to a Bat Mitzvah today, which was lovely. But as it was starting, the rabbi took time — in a very measured voice — to point out all the exits, including the emergency exits, so people would know how to leave the synagogue if necessary. That’s new.
- The bad optics that began Paul Ryan's town hall: Ex-Reagan campaign worker thanks Obamacare for saving his life.
00:00 - EXCLUSIVE: Trump appointees interfered with CDC’s weekly reports on Covid-19 — and even tried to halt the reports altogether.
- Replying to @ddiamondKimmel, crying, blasts plan to repeal ACA protections. "No parent should ever have to decide if they can afford to save their child's life."
00:00 - Conan O’Brien helped bury both of his parents, then his home was evacuated during the LA fires. Now he’s been living in a hotel — with a sentimental letter taken from his home on the wall — as he prepares to host the Oscars.
