Trumpstalgia consists of the nonsensical view that he deserves no blame for the labor market collapse during the pandemic because it happened everywhere but Joe Biden is personally responsible for post-pandemic inflation that also happened everywhere.

It’s still dark in STL but lights are on here. Ready for Morning Joe at the top of the hour.

Why do I see Trump calling for a game of “Boar on the Floor” for his VP hopefuls? politico.com/news/2024/04/2…

Interesting. Big win for Nelson and Perry and their client.

Chocolate cupcakes.

Yup. It’s Monday. Deadline White House at the top of the hour. (Double chocolate cupcakes in the dome). Join us!

Anniversary dinner at Esca in STL. So delicious. Obviously they respect the butter. Anazing Mediterranean food by the great Ben Poremba. On Delmar. Try it.

Happy 22nd Anniversary to my best friend!

It’s early in the heartland but coffee is hot. Morning Joe in a few minutes.

He was a really good guy. Best friend of working people, funny, kind, and a damn good lawyer. My sympathy to Kathleen Madigan and the entire Madigan family.

So stupid.

Joining Deadline White House at the top of the hour. Got fresh baked blueberry scones under the dome. Perfect with my cuppa tea.

Just a couple of old prosecutors nerding out….Jennifer Palmieri and I thank you Joyce!! It was great.

On a new episode of 'How to Win 2024,' Joyce Alene joins Jennifer Palmieri and me to discuss the first week of Trump's trial and how she thinks the newly-seated jury will react to Trump's 'shenanigans'. Click here to listen: link.chtbl.com/htw_sc

It is Friday and time for another turn on Morning Joe at the top of the hour.
