## Resource

Sometimes I don't exactly what I'll be talking about until shortly before the show begins. I had a few ideas for today... but two hours before showtime the breaking news dropped in my lap and my plans changed... Pam Bondi is OUT as Attorney General. We had hints it would be happening, and then it did. Also, the orange pustule showed what a spoiled brat of an insolent child he is with a nasty UNtruth social post about Bruce Springsteen. So, I reached out to The Nation's Joan Walsh (who's as big a fan as I am), and asked her to join us. And last night, I pestered by friend Brad Friedman of the Brad Blog (who's on vacation this week) because I thought I should interrupt his time off to see what he thinks of all of this. Today was supposed to be spring cleaning... that'll have to wait for next week. Tomorrow, it's another Emptywheel Friday with Marcy Wheeler!
