Fasting on Mecca Time

CIB #232

It’s another week of lawless anti-American nonsense from the Trump administration, couched ever more frequently in appeals to the underlying popularity of the things Trump is aiming to do. This is a democracy, after all, so why should something like the pesky law get in the way of the apparent will of the people? CIB goes full MAGA?! Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
