#songoftheweek, wondering what happened to a branch of government that's supposed to provide 'checks & balances' against an out-of-control executive branch? www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcR2...

End of year recap - lots of gloom & doom, but enough encouraging recent news to merit a cheerful tune, and we need to keep up our spirits for 2026! (Fair use parody of "December 1963" by Judy Parker & Bob Gaudio) www.youtube.com/shorts/h7OUC...

#songoftheweek - sure, Mango Mussolini and his administration are terrible, and terrifying, but fortunately they keep proving they're too incompetent to do as much damage as they want! www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEHF...

Trump may be 'tired of hearing about affordability' but we're not! So let's campaign on it, talk about it, and even sing about it! #songoftheweek youtu.be/TNnwWfA1MH4

Marjorie Taylor Greene is breaking up with Trump - and while she played a big part in creating the 'toxic politics' she now complains about, we can still sing about the whole thing ( fair use parody of "Valerie" by Dave McCabe,as sung by Amy Winehouse) www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPO8...

Free virtual concert later today! Doing my best to help you laugh at news that might otherwise make you cry - www.facebook.com/LaurenMayerC... Hope you can join the fun! (And it'll be up as a video on that same facebook page just in case you want to catch up later)

#songoftheweek: GOP spokespeople lie as easily as they trowel on their makeup. Here's my impression of pres. sec. Karoline Leavitt spreading some of their worst falsehoods. (Fair use parody of "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper, from an idea by Sue in Rockville) www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWZJ...

#songoftheweek - this 'vintage war song' is just as phony as the excuses Trump's administration is using to invade a peaceful American city. Fortunately it's also one with a great sense of humor and wonderful citizens! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf89...

Brendan Carr's wise words have inspired me to continue making fun of him and his boss . . .

#songoftheweek - focusing on some good news for a change, which is that Brazil finally made its would-be dictator face consequences. Who knows, maybe we can be inspired by them! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHZP...

#doctorsItrust more than RFKJr. - it's a trend, and now it's a song! www.youtube.com/watch?v=g28R... #politicalcomedy #songoftheweek

Here's another doctor I trust more than RFK Jr (and this trend may inspire this week's song!) #doctorItrust

Trump is both terrifying and hilariously incompetent. I tried to address that mix with sophomoric humor, silly nicknames, and doowop harmony! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H3I... #songoftheweek #politicalcomedy #trumpdictator

Yes, we ARE 'there' yet! Here's a musical retort to anyone who still insists we're "over-reacting" to Trump's dictator cosplay! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iQ7... #songoftheweek #politicalcomedy

My latest #songoftheweek, commenting on Pete Hegseth posting a video of his ultra-Christian-nationalist pastor: www.instagram.com/p/DM08yo8hLsm/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFmK...

The redistricting fight in Texas has drawn new attention to a political tool from 1810. Here's a musical explanation/rant, all in under 60 seconds: www.youtube.com/shorts/B7YZy...

While the news is getting crazier & crazier, it's also the start of the school year, so here's a musical plea from teachers to prospective parents! www.instagram.com/p/DM08yo8hLsm/

Here's a musical reminder from teachers to parents before school starts - and heaven knows, teachers need and deserve all the support they can get, these days more than ever! www.instagram.com/p/DM08yo8hLsm/ #school #comedysongs www.youtube.com/shorts/FpqrQ...

#songoftheweek - a musical plea in support of teachers before school starts - which shouldn't be partisan, but these days . . . (Featuring my sister Nancy Mayer, and my old dark hair since we filmed this pre-Covid) #teachers #schoolyear #supportteachers www.youtube.com/shorts/FpqrQ...

#songoftheweek - Trump's frantic, manic efforts to change the subject are just drawing more attention to how damaging the Epstein files are, inspiring MAGA infighting, liberal glee, late-night comics, and even a song! #epsteinfiles #politicalcomedy www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhGV...

#songoftheweek - MAGA outrage over the new Superman movie is perfectly onbrand; proving they're the real snowflakes while demonstrating their ignorance of history (in this case, the fact that Superman has been woke all along!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hrR... #superman #politicalcomedy

#songoftheweek - GOP hypocrisy, especially the religious right, is beyond parody, but I'm doing my best (even setting it to music) www.youtube.com/shorts/i1zto...

The Big Ugly Bill gives other countries even more reason to advise their citizens against coming here - so I set their concerns to music (with apologies to Tom Lehrer): #politicalcomedy #travelban #songoftheweek www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWAX...

The bill the Senate passed is anything but beautiful, so I've suggested several more appropriate names for it and set them to music #biguglybill #budgetbill #politicalcomedysong #gopbudget #onebigbeautifulbill (not!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYq-...

Hi folks - my next free monthly livestream is tomorrow, in case you're in the mood for a few giggles, and even a guest star! www.facebook.com/LaurenMayerC...

#songoftheweek - when there are too many awful news stories to pick just one (with apologies to Carole King): www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzsJ...

#songoftheweek - The 'meh' reaction of the sad parade crowd reminded me of the audience in 'The Producers' (for a particularly appropriate song: fair use parody of "Springtime for Hitler" by Mel Brooks) www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFSw...

#songoftheweek Maybe Trump & Musk will get over their epic, juvenile quarrel, but the jury is still out, and I'm still making fun of them in song! www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAAY...

#songoftheweek - Joni Ernst's heartless response to constituents' concern about Medicaid cuts needed a truly snarky response! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkEI... (fair use parody of "Fixin'-To-Die Rag" by Country Joe McDonald)

#songoftheweek: Since RFK Jr. seems to be determined to bring back vintage diseases we thought were eradicated, I'm determined to make fun of him in a vintage song parody (channeling my inner Peggy Lee) www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOO-...

The White House gave its budget bill a laughably opposite title, so I fixed it for them and even set it to music! #songoftheweek www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYq-...

Here's one about an issue that still hasn't changed (although my hair color has!): www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbGf...

#songoftheweek - Trump's Qatar plane is just his typical greed & grift, but this one was so over-the-top, it deserved an over-the-top musical commentary. (Special appearance by my crooner husband Scott Grinthal; fair use parody of "Come Fly With Me" by van Heusen & Cahn) youtu.be/4Uq9T27mMQI

This week's song is a musical lament to the cowardly GOP Congress (with apologies to the fabulous Stephen Sondheim) www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtIy...

My latest #songoftheweek, inspired by yet another terrific protest sign! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv-q... #comedysongs #politicalcomedy

Welcome to new followers (and thanks to old ones!) I'm new to Bluesky but I've done weekly political songs since 2012. So I'll share some of my older, but still relevant, ones- like this from Mango Mussolini's first term (also proof that I'm not a natural blonde 😜) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn1K...

Thanks to all new followers!- from 1.2K to 2K overnight, largely thanks to @judithbolyard.bsky.social I post a new song every Friday, and since I'm fairly new to Bluesky, occasionally I'll post an old-but-still-relevant one, like this musical biology lesson: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiHx...

My latest #songoftheweek - inspired by the news and one of the best signs from recent protests: youtu.be/D84lY5D8U64 (original music & lyrics by me, ©2025)

This week's video is inspired by the Orwellian up-is-down, who-needs-facts defense of the Tariff Liberation Day craziness! (original music by me, ©2025) "Tariffs Are Love" - www.youtube.com/watch?v=_l-8.... #tariffs #tradewar

#songoftheweek - a musical apology to our beloved neighbor for the fakakta behavior of that meshuganah shlmiel in the White House. (Fair use parody of "O, Canada"). www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y94c...

This week's song comments on over-the-top GOP hypocrisy (about budget cuts) with an over-the-top Rent parody (and wow, Jonathan Larson's lyrics are as fabulous, thus as hard to parody, as Sondheim's!!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKpC...
