TNB Programming Note

There will be a post on the Oval Office speech so we can all watch it and comment on it together. Post will go live shortly before the speech which is scheduled to start at 9:00 EST. It is supposed to only be an eight minute speech, so come early and get a good seat so you don’t miss out!

Many thanks to Tiff for getting this set up for us!
