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

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

👇👇👇👇👇👇 "Two members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with a group seeking to 'overturn election results in certain states,' and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data..." www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

We’re the bad guys now.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Epstein survivors PSA. Please SHARE far and wide! I’m reading “Nobody’s Girl” - heartbreaking, infuriating and a must read. Hold the men to account!

David Frum on Jimmy Kimmel: "This is not cancel culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here is the script, you must read, if you do not read it, you will be taken off the air."

The Greer Center was supposed to be a refuge for people with developmental disabilities. But accounts from inside the secretive facility in Oklahoma paint a starkly different picture, depicting a place where helpless patients faced beatings, waterboarding and constant fear. nyti.ms/4mcQZR9

In Ghislaine Maxwell’s Justice Department interview, she comes off as pathetic, loathsome, and utterly lacking in remorse. The entire operation was damage control—an attempt to exculpate President Trump from his own involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.

The Trump administration used Benny Johnson's claims that his house was "burned to the ground" and that "people were murdered in my front yard" to justify its federal takeover of DC. @kenbensinger.bsky.social found out that Johnson made it all up. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/b...

In Mike Johnson's district, not only could thousands of Louisianians lose coverage, health centers are bracing for a financial hit. They're hoping for additional funding to make up for Medicaid cuts.

if, God forbid, there’s a terrible tragedy, it seems highly likely the president’s conspiracy-minded base will weave Vance into the plot

I often talk about the fact that MAGA does not access the same news as the left wing. I present to you Exhibit A. Dr. Daskalakis’ resignation letter excoriated RFK Jr. and shared that RFK Jr. was lying to the public, manipulating data, and ordering unethical actions. This what Fox News served.

No agency insignia at all on their uniforms, so this is likely not DEA or ATF or FBI or Border Patrol. So probably it’s DHS, most likely ICE. And yeah, the comment about “liberal” is really telling. These guys are wildly unprofessional.

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

People are dying

This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

So much for MAHA.

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

Sen. Alex Padilla: "If this is how this DHS responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

Law enforcement in L.A. used tear gas, flash grenades, and rubber bullets on protesters — one reporter was even hit live on air. These “less-lethal” weapons can blind, break bones, and even kill. They’re not crowd control — they’re tools of fear and intimidation.

This is a US Senator! ICE Barbie and all the federal agents involved in this stunt need to be fired and fined!

JUST IN: Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., was removed from a Homeland Security press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Donald Trump is forcing the American military to intimidate our citizens in their own communities. If a U.S. Senator can't question the Trump Administration about that, who can? This is pure un-American authoritarianism, and it should scare us all. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.
