Hegseth must be court-martialed immediately.

When the Trump regime aims to punish members of Congress for reminding the military to refuse illegal orders, it’s a strong indicator that the Trump regime is ISSUING ILLEGAL ORDERS.

My question is, why didn’t the FBI open an investigation IMMEDIATELY? No need for anyone to request it. If ANY citizen does this, they’d automatically face legal consequences. THE PRESIDENT THREATENED THEIR LIVES. This is mind-numbingly simple.

My latest review for @nodepression.bsky.social looks at a new #WillieNelson album of #MerleHaggard songs, plus the vinyl reissue of a terrific 1994 #HightoneRecords Merle tribute. Find it here: nodepression.org/album-review...

I'm biased here but it strengthens my belief that global scale algorithmic social media is one of the worst inventions in human history. I'd delete it off the face of the earth without a second's hesitation

Vista native #SeanWatkins of #NickelCreek, with harmonies from his wife Dominique Arciero, is back in San Diego County tonight for a show at #FoxPointFarms in Carlsbad, teaming with local duo #LonesomeRoses.

Articles of Impeachment need to be filed. Make Trump defend, in the media, his public tweets about hanging members of Congress by the neck until dead. Let's see if he has the courage.

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Sing this to the tune of The Beatles song "Piggies": "Have you seen the fascist piggie playing president? As for all his G.O.Piggies, they can all get bent Every single cent, is what they're grifting..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXdK...

The FBI needs to investigate the President for making death threats to several members of Congress. They won't, but they absolutely are required to do so. They would do this if ANY citizen made such threats.

Jeffries: "What's extraordinary to me is that Mike Johnson doesn't even have the decency to distance himself from Donald Trump's death threats leveled at patriotic members of Congress. Even John Thune had the decency to distance himself from Trump's remarks. But Mike Johnson couldn't say a thing."

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

I'm no longer going to refer to the current president as anything other than "Piggie." (Yeah, yeah, I know, the fascists will say I'm just suffering from Piggie Derangement Syndrome.)

Larry Summers Announces He Will Step Down From Chair With Belt Around Neck

In which the freaking poster-boy for permanent damage to the political system claims he wants to avoid permanent damage to the political system. Hey Mike Johnson, fuck you and the orange neanderthal you rode in on.

More music stuff from me today: This month's Founders' Keepers column is up on the No Depression website, with reviews of #TheMammals and #RosieFlores and #TheLastJimenez and #CowboyJunkies and @terryklein.bsky.social. Check it out here: nodepression.org/founders-kee...

When ABC paid $15M to settle a lawsuit it would have won, it may have thought it bought peace with Trump. Instead, it invited more bullying. Yesterday, Trump called an ABC reporter ”insubordinate” and threatened ABC’s licenses. Today, more abuse. You either fight Trump or he owns you.

Finally have a copy in my hands of the thing I worked on for much of 2025. Fans of #GuyClark, or anyone interested in great songwriting, can order it at the link below; proceeds go to the Guy Clark Foundation. www.guyclark.com/store/p/old-...

I'd like to take this opportunity to challenge #DwightYoakam to explain why he posed for a photo with RFK Jr. over the weekend. Dwight, if you think people are going to just let this slide, you're mistaken. Time for you to say something about how and why this happened.

After another trip to the grocery store where prices across the board have risen yet again, I think I've come to realize what the RFK/DJT "health plan" is: Make people lose weight because they can't buy enough food. Though If enough MAGAts who voted for them starve, maybe that'll do something.

The president of the United States just said he has no problem with journalists getting murdered in the line of duty.

An initial pre-run of my new book "Old No. 1 at 50: A History of Guy Clark's first album" on the guyclark.com website sold out on Friday, but it's now stocked-up again & available at the link below. Read about how "L.A. Freeway" kinda traces to #SanDiego, and more: www.guyclark.com/store/p/old-...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

See you in DC on 11/22 for 'Remove the Regime.' Join us as we loudly declare what We The People want and what we will not abide. All good, decent patriotic Americans who've had it with fascism are welcome. www.removetheregime.com

5 headlines tonight on Charlotte Observer’s homepage: “Manolo's Bakery closes to protect customers” “Church members flee as federal agents arrive” “Super G executive describes agents dragging out teen employee” “Border Patrol questions people at Walmart” “Border Patrol sweep sparks fear”

We should NEVER let Muskrat forget he posted about DJT being in the Epstein files.

Craig Finn and Patterson Hood, with Ben Hackett, at the Belly Up in Solana Beach. The vibe they’re projecting is pretty much exactly what I’m in the mood for right now. Love when that happens. (Hey @hcrichardson.bsky.social, this one’s for you.)

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe. Share it widely.

As promised last night, here's my recap of Thursday's really wonderful event at Magnolia in El Cajon featuring #CameronCrowe and #KateHudson discussing Crowe's new memoir "The Uncool," on the #TimesOfSanDiego website. timesofsandiego.com/arts/2025/11...

Hello fellow Bluesky flyers: If you're a fan of Texas legend #GuyClark, my new book is out today about his 1975 debut album. I wrote it for the Guy Clark Foundation, with a big assist from @natalieweiner.bsky.social who did some great interviews. Order page is here: guyclark.com/store

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

This is big: elected Republicans in a deep-red state saying NO to Trump even after his personal plea. The balance is shifting - and we have to keep up the pressure everywhere.

I’m at the Magnolia in El Cajon for tonight’s book event for #SanDiego hometown hero #CameronCrowe ‘s new memoir. See my review tomorrow (or soon) on the Times of San Diego website.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I would really love to see her buy a major newspaper. I would trust her to give it the benevolent support for journalists that Bezos and Soon-Shiong have utterly failed to provide.

My friend Kimm really got the colors from Point Loma tonight. Paging @eyesonsdskies.bsky.social

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

Also, Uber Eats has confirmed that climate change is not real.

Our foreign policy, if that is still the right concept, has three pillars: alienate allies, encourage enemies, and take bribes.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Truth Social’s new AI tool states the 2020 election was not stolen and that groceries are costing more under Trump.

Last show of the #DreamSyndicate California tour tonight at the Soda Bar in #SanDiego

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people. Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Yes. Some of them are neighbors. Some are family members. Call them all out. Every single one of them.

More of this, please. Much more.

Really worth reading this. So much of what happened then that still resonates today.
