Could it be? A $1.776B taxpayer financed fund to pay off criminals, cop killers, anti-American insurrectionists? Just because they support you?

After 26 songs, 3 hr. performance, Bruce spoke to the 20,000+. While there was plenty of hard hitting rock 'n roll signature hits played, the closing brought tears to the eyes of many. It was emotional. We left renewed and grateful for this man, at this time. youtu.be/tnmYPkvnJug

Colette Delawalla launched Stand Up for Science to push back against the Trump’s cuts to medical and scientific research

Three stories worth your time this week. How Chief Justice Roberts built the shadow docket that keeps handing Trump court victories. How a message connecting corruption to everyday costs just won a landslide in Hungary, and why Democrats need to hear it. And why PFLAG has never mattered more.

Only Democrats are for fair maps across every state in America. The Rs oppose that & load the courts with justices that oppose it. Side w/ Dems & this undemocratic nonsense will end. Here is what the Rs did to my 50-50 state (NC) - MID YEAR Republican majority court ordered:

This is the agreement we had in 2015 before Trump ripped it up. We now have national & global chaos, war costs so far of $35B ($2B a day), 2000+ innocents killed, many of whom children and infants. 10yr projection to repair all the damage - IN EXCESS OF $1T.

I noticed when Trump lies through his teeth (especially about Iran), my portfolio goes up. When his lies are exposed, my portfolio goes down. What should I do?

Something terrific was in place that secured peace. Trump ripped it up. Now we have chaos, war costs so far of $35B, increasing at $2B a day. 2000+ innocents killed. 10yr projection to repair all the damage - Over $1T and growing.

Here's a depiction of Jesus delivering his Sermon on the Mount. Shocker - Pope Leo is speaking profoundly to what Jesus teaches us.

To conservatives who’ve objected when some of us have suggested Trump is a fascist, and who’ve complained when some us point out that much of real existing American conservatism has devolved into fascism, if you’re silent about Trump’s threat of genocide you’re proving the point you’ve objected to.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Yep. Dems need to be speaking loudly and in unison about the urgent national need to remove this madman from office immediately.

Pope Leo XIV used his first Easter speech to deliver a resounding call for peace in times of renewed war, declaring, “Let those who have weapons lay them down!” https://wapo.st/4c72GGd

Proud of my Raleigh, NC. We showed up in the thousands (like other protests around America). 60 of us met up ahead of time, marched to the Raleigh state capital. Like you, we are happy warriors but determined warriors to change America. #NoKings #Raleigh youtu.be/fOvKuW0ZO98

Raleigh NC #NoKings

Raleigh state capital - packed! #NoKings #Raleigh

The GOP could end the DHS shutdown immediately by agreeing that ICE should act like any other law enforcement agency.

Unstable. @mediaite.com www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

Number of minutes “Iran”’was mentioned in this week’s 107 minute-long State of the Union: Three.

QUIZ- 1. Which president disproportionately invested in red states? 2. Which president has made his mission to hurt blue states? 3. Which states disproportionately subsidize the others with their tax dollars?

This is an absolutely beautiful cover of Bruce Springsteen's new song "Streets of Minneapolis". IDEA- Wouldn't it be great (and emotional) if he was surrounded by a chorus of local young people singing background to this song at each concert? @brucespringsteen.net youtu.be/Ci_0PAObc4A?...

Ash Wednesday (this Wednesday) is already a big deal for Catholics, but it sounds like it will be especially profound in Chicago this year.

The SAVE Act is part of the Trump administration’s agenda to sow distrust in elections, undermine election administration, and discourage Americans from making their voices heard. bit.ly/4rA2p4R

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Turns out our immigrant neighbors, both documented and undocumented, are less violent than we U.S. citizens are. I had ChatGPT do the analysis. You can do this too. Easy! (P.S. OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman is one of Trump's largest donors)

The great journalist, Ed Murrow (CBS) understood how to counter lying gov't officials who smear those they disagree with. Today we are going through much worse than the McCarthy era. It's time for the main stream media to put a full stop to lies coming from the Trump people.

Our current president is completely missing in action on the issues Americans care about most. Zero leadership. Zero understanding. Zero ability to help craft solutions. He's all over the place with self-created distractions. What happened to AMERICA FIRST? #DAVOS

Almost 50 yrs ago this book led to JFK establishing the Peace Corp. Our young people embarked to help the unfortunate throughout the world, but also to fix an image of America that was taking hold. Trump's Davos performance yesterday is one more example of setting America back 50 yrs, sadly. #Davos

An entire political party is made up of cowards.

Trump authoritarian project requires enough people to disbelieve what they clearly see with their eyes. But can he convince people not to believe their bank accounts?

We don't need to play games parsing US law or international treaties to figure out if it's legal for Trump to do this. It's not. It's crystal clear it's all illegal. Everyone's just pretending we're not at the point where the thing to do is to remove him. It's an advanced state of political denial.

This is actually the really simple story of the collapse of American democracy. You can explain America’s constitutional collapse in a single coherent sentence:

Your blood pressure will also improve.

If gov't were measured like a business - by performance, with customer satisfaction and service delivery key metrics, the Trump Admin would get an F minus minus minus minus minus.

What would Jesus do if he visited the United States Senate?

It's time for the World Court to deal with Pete Hegseth

Perhaps these words say it all about Trump as he pardons the former president of Honduras who had been convicted in U.S. of drug trafficking charges. Graham was far from a lefty.

I am saddened that I don't recognize the United States of America anymore. The Greatest Generation shed blood to preserve our country and way of life. To see everything they stood for and fought for crumbling before our very eyes - and yes

How does your Christian faith inform you when it comes to how we are seeing immigrants treated in America today by this administration?

BIDEN VS TRUMP - Managing the affordability crisis 👇

When it comes to ICE, the majority of North Carolinians (and Americans) support the statement of our Governor Josh Stein. And with the recent, strong statement from the Catholic Bishops on immigration, we embrace morality & civility. #ICE #ncpol

Sadly, the working class is beginning to become aware that Trump is hurting them in every objective measurable way while enriching himself, his family & the 1%. Welcome to the Resistance MTG!

MTG realized Trump has failed on his main mission. More than that, he's screwing bigly his working family supporters.

The economy continues to nosedive, but not for the 1%

Ouch!

1. Which administration invested a lot in red states (even more than blue states)? 2. Which administration actively tried to hurt blue states?

What's going unreported are the massive local victories in non-partisan races. Wake County NC Dems managed to elect 25 of our 27 endorsed candidates, including 4 mayorships. Incredible! (pictured- me & my wife poll greeting with new Fuquay-Varina Mayor Bill Harris!) #ncpol #wakedems #NCDP

Interesting the Ds are going into tomorrow’s election with a big tent while the Rs can only be bobbleheads for Trump. Only one party represents the debate of ideas. Only one party exemplifies democracy.
