I hope someone is writing "12 Hangry Men" about the sandwich guy jury

There's money available to feed poor people. The Trump regime has deleted that fact from a government website, but it's still a fact.

Epstein files giving House Republicans over two months paid vacation and counting.

Every time I feel like they run out of ways to admit they are absolute monsters, they find a new one.

So the sandwich guy ... beat the wrap

Made a concert deal with my wife this weekend: I'm going with her to Rod Stewart on Saturday (Cheap Trick opening!), and she's coming with me to Drive-by Truckers and Deer Tick on Sunday (her birthday!) on the Cape. Win-win. #SeeYouAtTheRockShow

Two nights of Khruangbin this weekend, both excellent! Edge to Portland since Thompson’s Point is such a special place for a show.

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden: They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it. 5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

More than 1 million in Boston! www.wcvb.com/article/more...

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

I put on last night’s Katrina Rykman show from Webster Hall on nugs as background while doing stuff around the house tonight, but quickly got pulled in. Loved it! Adding her band to my must-see list. Great trio!

Great turnout in Boston today! #LawDayofAction

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬: The Trump administration wrongfully deported a father, sheet metal apprentice, and Maryland resident to El Salvador. They admitted to this “administrative error” and the Supreme Court unanimously demanded they fix it.

First show in months was a great one and a throwback to a band I used to see 25 years ago. Glad to see the Tarbox Ramblers back together! The redesigned Fallout Shelter looked amazing too. Blessed to have this venue so close to home.

If you feel like being inspired by a big law firm, here's the opening to Sussman Godfrey's lawsuit against Trump and his executive order targeting the firm. It still is amazing other firms caved quickly to Trump's mob-like and unconstitutional shakedown. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

Solid Sound is an incredible festival and one of my favorite weekends every other year.

Booker on Strom Thurmond: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here in spite of his speech. I'm here because as poweful as he was, the people were more powerful."

The Booker Effect

Proud to see mine on there (Mass.).

THREAD: Law firm statements issued in response to Trump’s executive orders targeting lawyers. (This thread will be updated as additional statements are released. Want to flag something that I missed? DM me, email me at [email protected], or send me a message on Signal at annabower.24) 🧵⬇️

You'd never know it, but there is actually a constitutional provision that gives universities, law firms, and media orgs the *right* to say no to the president when he demands that they prostrate themselves before him.

Patterson Hood's solo album is one of my favorites of the year so far. Bummed I couldn't make last night's tour opener at the Armory.

This is why DEI matters. Please repost & keep reposting.

“There’s a responsibility in this time of chaos where elected officials need to hear what people are irritated about,” Walz said. “And I would argue that Democratic officials should hear the primal scream that’s coming from America and do something.”

Loved this movie

Okay, Boston!

Strong record release day (Jason Isbell, Bob Mould, Neil Young, Sierra Hull). Don’t sleep on the #YoLaTengo release/reissue! music.apple.com/us/album/old...

Ugh, to Florida of all teams.

Most absolutely basic, basement-level rule of law has just five (5) votes on the Roberts Court. Do not be comforted by this. It suggests there are 4 votes for fascist dictatorship on the court

Hey look, an appointments clause violation on camera.

😡

No Senator was elected to let the President or some unaccountable billionaire decide how YOUR tax dollars get spent. Let me be clear: CONGRESS holds the power of the purse, and NO President can unilaterally abolish an entire agency or ignore our appropriations laws.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

How it started (Obama) How it’s going (Trump)

Just finished reading Neko Case’s new memoir. Fascinating and well-written!

JUST IN: A judge has enjoined President Trump's effort to block federal funds from going toward grant recipients who engage in DEI practices. The judge says the orgs are likely to succeed on claims that this is viewpoint discrimination, among other issues storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

1 week since my shoulder replacement and taking advantage of voice-to-text options has helped. The only hiccup is my wife thinks I’m talking to her when I’m writing and keeps asking “what?“

Five employees at the JFK Library in Boston were laid off today in connection with a Trump administration overhaul of federal workers. "Without them, we are unable to stay open," a source tells @gbhnews.bsky.social. "It has been chaotic and we are seeking clarity."

This. Especially Senate Republicans.
