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

This is why I have real fucking problem with blithe criticisms of "polarization" or "congressional dysfunction." We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked. The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party.

Singing

MSP airport. Clergy risking risking arrest and a huge gathering of protesters. The song is, “Down to the River to Pray.”

The Democratic approach to building back power is: 1. Avoid contentious issues; 2. Pivot all discourse to unobjectionable appeals like costs; 3. Leave moral opposition to citizens of conscience, who have lost all trust in the party, but hope they vote Democrat anyhow. Wrong top to bottom.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Bless the Ford worker who called Donald Trump a pedophile protector to his face today, which made President Pedo Protector throw up his tiny middle finger.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

Yes, killing peaceful protesters is a sign of tyranny. www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/t...

Striking to compare this to today’ list of T’s “accomplishments” in the NYT: www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

LMAO McGovern is on fire right now 🔥🔥🔥

We feed you. They hunt us.

Thank you!

I'm here in Washington working with my Democratic colleagues to protect healthcare for every American, but Republicans refuse to meet with us. I decided to attend Speaker Johnson’s press conference today to speak to him.

JD Vance: "The suffering is going to get a lot worse."

The Republican party’s new slogan!

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

It is impossible to imagine people allowing this to go on (or even participating in it within the government) if he was ordering the murder without any process of French citizens or Brits or Australians on boats no matter what they were alleged to be doing.

The 105 House Republicans who condemned George Santos and voted to expel him from Congress are strangely silent about Trump springing him from prison after a very short stint. They are all terrified of King Donald.

Some people are honored to help children learn, or help the sick heal, or help the dispossessed fight for justice. Others are honored to have played a small role in giving lying criminals a chance to prey on society again, so long as they are Republicans.

I keep saying this but I can’t get it out of my head that we must be led by political and military leaders who saw the movie The Siege and thought Bruce Willis was the good one.

Her ruling is also a model for how a judge can use Trump’s unhinged words (“war-ravaged Portland”) against him without going off the rails him- or herself. E.g., “The president’s own statements [show] that his determination was not ‘conceived in good faith’” & was “untethered to the facts.” /3-end

This seems important:

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

interested to read this upcoming book on roberts. and very intrigued by his the consequences on his formation of growing up in a highly segregated indiana suburb.

Trump 2020: Find me 11k votes Trump 2025: Find me congressional seats

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

"In the criminal justice system, sandwich based offenses are considered especially heinous. In Washington DC, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Sandwich Victims Unit. These are their stories.

Ahahahahahahhahahhahahhahahahahahhahhhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahh

“Philly is a tough place to play . . . if you’re soft.” - James Calvin Rollins 8.1.2025

It’s a golden age for Cassandras.

Wow

Trump was asked 8 days ago if Bondi told him his name appeared in the Epstein files -- and of course he lied about it

🤔 hmmm and what loser could have possibly appointed him

I’m seeing many reposts of Donald Trump’s demented distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein mess about Rosie O’Donnell. What I’m not seeing is her sassy response. Here it is:

Helpless? Prayers? That’s what pastors and civilians should be doing. We pay members of Congress to ask hard questions, start investigating,and find out if the government could have done more. Do it now before the next storm. We aren’t paying you to pray. We are paying you to help all of us.

The Elizabeth Holmes of AI

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?  The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

Just got chased away from the Howard Street Ramble in Cape May, NJ, by the local police for sitting on the curb listening to the music 🎶

"Does Trump realize that 'Fortunate Son' was written about people exactly like him?"

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

Video of Senator Padilla being thrown on the ground and cuffed outside Kristi Noem's press conference

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

Padilla's office issues new statement on Kristi Noem's goons manhandling him: "He tried to ask the Secretary a question, and was forcibly removed by federal agents, forced to the ground and handcuffed."

Remember this?
