Bruce kicked off the holiday season in a lasting way, on this day 50 years ago, performing “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” at C.W. Post during the “Born to Run” tour — a bit of concert magic that grew into the holiday tradition we know today. Happy Holidays from everyone on E Street!

The Stones release the “Let it Bleed” LP today in ‘69 Martin Scorsese said people sometimes ask why he uses “Gimme Shelter” so often in his films. It does something, he said, “no other piece of music does for me .. There’s fear. There’s seduction. It’s the sound of consequences rushing toward you.”

George Harrison releases “My Sweet Lord” 55 years ago today. “I’ve met so many listeners across the years who said it made them feel peaceful for 3 minutes,” he said. “It made spirituality feel like something you could sing along to while driving a car or washing dishes. That’s all I ever wanted.”

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You know it’s bad when even Frontier Airlines is telling you to have a backup plan

Newsom: They did not expect California. They did not expect all of you. They thought we were going to write an op-ed, have a candlelight vigil, maybe do a rally. They poked the bear and the bear is poking back

Even when it doesn’t count, Stephen’s still putting on a show 👀

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Now THIS is a mission the National Guard can be proud of. 🙌 Via @voteinorout.bsky.social

Unreal. Stephen Curry. Unreal.

You call it Stephen Curry threes. We call it art.

We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

When you’re making your #NoKings posters, remember… Donald Trump LOVES a good nickname.

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

Asked by Kristen Welker on Meet the Press this morning whether the White House was seriously considering invoking the Insurrection Act, Vice President Vance said, "The president is looking at all his options."

Republicans are currently going around the media to claim the nationwide peaceful No Kings protest on 10/18 is a “Hate America” rally. Actually, No Kings is a rally of love—love for the founding ideals of America, love for the democracy and freedoms we cherish, love for one another. Let’s show it:

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Springsteen releases the “Born to Run” LP 50 yrs ago this wk. “I wanted to make the greatest rock record I’d ever heard. I wanted it to sound enormous, to grab you by your throat and insist that you take that ride, insist that you pay attention — not just to the music, but to life, to being alive.”

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.

Happy 82nd b’day, Mick Jagger — who left the London School of Economics to pursue music. “The Rolling Stones were just beginning,” he said. “I thought, ‘Why not give it a go for a year?’ .. I wasn’t trying to be a rock star — I just thought, ‘This looks like more fun than working for Shell Oil.’”

God bless South Park

Powell called out Trump for making stuff up to smear him "I'm not aware of that, Mr President. I haven't heard that from anybody at the Fed. You just added in a third building is what that is. No, it was built five years ago. We finished it five years ago. It's not new."
