CHRISTIAN TOTO: Can Judd Apatow ‘Comeback’ from Trump Derangement Syndrome?
Judd Apatow made better comedies than just about everyone for a good, long while.
Here’s just a sampling of films and TV shows he either wrote, directed or produced over the past 20-plus years.
“Anchorman”
“The 40-Year-Old Virgin”
“Knocked Up”
“Freaks & Geeks”
“Crashing”
“Bridesmaids”
“This Is 40”
“Step Brothers”
“Get Him to the Greek”Now, that’s a legacy. And, for the past few years, said legacy has been stuck in neutral. His 2022 Netflix original, “The Bubble,” got hammered by critics. His attempt to make Pete Davidson a movie star, “The King of Staten Island,” got stung by COVID-19 and a lack of big laughs.
His last mainstream comedy hit? The 2013 Amy Schumer vehicle “Trainwreck.”
I bet you can guess what happened next.
UNEXPECTEDLY! California’s $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers led to ‘negative outcomes,’ researchers say.
Researchers found that California’s minimum wage hike for fast-food workers led to “negative outcomes” such as automation and reduced work hours.
The researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz suggested in a report published in March that the policy could produce unintended consequences such as an increase in menu prices, a loss of overtime and benefits, reductions in employee working hours, and an implementation of automation that replaces workers.
The minimum wage for workers was $16 before the $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers became law in April 2024. Gov. Gavin Newsom said in September 2023 the increase would help workers earn more as the cost-of-living rises.
“The results indicate a plethora of negative outcomes such as higher menu prices for consumers, reductions in employee working hours, widespread elimination of overtime and loss of benefits for employees,” said Stephen Owen, an economics lecturer, University of California, Santa Cruz.
“Further decreases in employee opportunities are being driven by automation and the adoption of labor replacement technologies is accelerating.”
The real minimum wage is always zero.
M-SNOW: Hitler Was Better Than Trump, America Committed Suicide.
Fresh off of cheering on Iran for how they “humiliated” President Trump by trying to kill American airmen, MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell kicked off Tuesday night’s show by suggesting Adolf Hitler wasn’t as bad a leader as Trump. He went even further and suggested that America committed suicide as a civilization when voters elected Trump a second time.
As O’Donnell was coming on the air, his first words were a jab a trump and praise for Hitler. “’A whole civilization will die tonight.’ Hitler never said that,” he declared for the man who wanted to exterminate the Jews and wrote an entire book about it.
According to O’Donnell, no villain in the history of the world was as bad as Trump. “No head of state in the history of the world ever said that. Civilization had to wait literally thousands of years until today, April 7th, 2026 at 8:06 A.M. for a head of state to say and threaten ‘A whole civilization will die tonight,’” he asserted.
Adding: “No cruel king ever threatened that, no mass murdering tyrant anywhere in the world ever said that, or even thought it was possible.”
Since NewsBusters already established that O’Donnell either didn’t know history or was obfuscating it from his audience, he might want to chat with the Jews and Gypsies Hitler tried to eradicate, the Ukrainians who survived Joesph Stalin’s Holodomor, anyone living through any of the ongoing genocides in Africa, or anyone who survived any communist regime anywhere.
“And with that statement, it could not be more tragically clear now that a whole civilization has already died,” O’Donnell sneered as he proceeded to rant about how American voters killed the American civilization.
Back in 2010, O’Donnell famously said, “Liberals amuse me. I am a socialist. I live to the extreme left, the extreme left of you mere liberals.”
Like Tucker and Darryl Cooper in 2024, O’Donnell appears to be narrowing down the form of socialism he prefers.

Verdict here and it’s likely not what you expect.

NOVEMBER PREVIEW: The Republicans Announce Their 2026 Senate Targets. “The MSM has been endlessly hyping Democrat chances to win control of the Senate. But the central problem for them is that only two Republican seats – Maine and North Carolina – are in competitive states. The other 20 GOP seats are in states where the Republicans have a big edge, with Donald Trump winning them by double digits. That almost never happens in Senate elections, let alone twice. In the 2025 Virginia elections, the Democrats won a landslide, but they still didn’t carry a single district where Trump won with that margin.”
