SLUGGO WASSERMAN:  The prime mover of today’s show is an outrageous column that appeared in the LA Times attacking Jane Fonda’s magnificent op-ed questioning the move to re-open the atomic reactor at Three Mile Island.

Jane Fonda has turned out to be one of the world's great activists.  She’s a wonderful human being, two-time Oscar winner, everybody in LA knows who Jane Fonda is.

She’s written one of the best op eds I’ve read on nuclear power.  It has appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer.  It’s about 3 Mile Island, which they want to reopen. 

Somebody in the American utility industry ate the brown acid at Woodstock and they keep coming up with these insane ideas.

Jim Jordan is best known for kissing Trump’s ass, being an egomaniac, and a serial abuser of those he believes are below him. Jordan once said, “vaccine mandates are un-American.” Try telling that to all the families of the deceased, and to their faces.

The Ohio congressman is up for re-election this November in a gerrymandered mess of a district which includes small parts of Columbus, including a district (District 4) for which he’s done nothing. If you have any doubt about Jordan’s record, just ask his Democratic opponent, Tamie Wilson.

Wilson, while campaigning last week, met up with Gabby (pictured above on right). Gabby is a former waitress who unfortunately had to wait on Gymmy’s, er, Jimmy’s table one very uncomfortable and unforgettable evening. Wilson put their conversation on Twitter, which now has over 1 million views.

Dear Vice President Harris:

Allow me to offer my assessment as to where we stand regarding our hopes for your victory in the State of Michigan…

1. Your stunning candidacy has given tens of millions throughout the country a new hope — and a belief that we can save our Democracy, restore women’s fundamental rights, and create an economy where everyone has a seat at the table and a slice of the pie. 

2. Those of us from Michigan have serious concerns about you possibly losing Michigan — and we just can’t let that happen. We fear you may not have the whole picture that we see here on the ground. This is why we are reaching out to you. 

3. The war on Gaza has not only resulted in the deaths of 42,000+ civilians (nearly half of them children), but those still alive are literally being starved to death. Most hospitals, schools and social services have been obliterated. This suffering must end.
