NEW: Trump’s DHS appointees have: • Dismantled civil rights guardrails, • Protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, • Threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challenges to their arrests & tactics. By @davidmcswane.bsky.social @hannahallam.bsky.social

Can confirm that the new #NekoCase LP is brilliant.

New vinyl reissue of Concrete Blonde’s 1990 masterpiece “Bloodletting” now spinning on the VPI in all its gothy dark rumbling glory. Why has the Blonde been so neglected on vinyl for so long? Let’s get the rest of their catalog reissued, please. #VinylCommunity

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight. But consider this... Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending. Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

The White House and GOP lawmakers say a provision in the Big Beautiful Bill that Democrats want rolled back keeps undocumented people from getting health benefits — a claim experts say is misleading.

I don’t often agree with Catholicism, but this one is spot on.

The abortion pill is safe. But why should Trump let facts get in the way of his agenda? | Moira Donegan

Dangerous and depressing trend.

Charlie Kirk helped to set the course for some of Wyoming’s most powerful political leaders. His organization, Turning Point USA, got its first big financial boost from Wyoming GOP megadonor Foster Friess.

The new album from the brilliant New Zealand band #TheBeths is brining me much joy in these dark times. #VinylCommunity #music Seriously, check these people out: stream it then buy it and then see them live if you can.

Spinning the long-awaited vinyl reissue of The Sundays’s sublime “reading, writing arithmetic” on our vintage Zenith this fall-ish afternoon. Happy vibes engaged. #VinylCommunity

Pure joy. ❤️

Many of the men deported to CECOT said they are permanently changed: struggling to sleep, drink water or leave their homes. One man broke into tears describing how he had a panic attack the first time he walked down a busy Venezuelan street.

Omg what is happening at TayTay’s website right now! What is hasaaaaappening….😳 #TaylorSwift

Recently had the LP changer in our vintage Zenith expertly restored. Watched part of the brilliant #BillyJoel doc, so gotta binge on part of the old LP collection. BTW, somehow I’ve amassed 4 various pressings of “The Stranger” but no “Piano Man.” 🤷🏼‍♂️

Kennedy Curse Sure Taking Its Sweet Time With RFK Jr.

Dramatic changes to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program could drive drugmakers from the market, threatening access to shots, experts say. “If (Kennedy’s) unstated goal is to basically destroy the vaccine industry, that could do it.” By @sheinvestigates.bsky.social

I sure like my Clubmaster frames, but now I wonder if people will suspect that I’m an asshole creep. Maybe they already suspect that, hell if I know. I think I’ll just stay inside the rest of my life.

Just returned from a 3,000 mile road trip to the Pacific Northwest, taking us through #Seattle among many other towns and cities. Gotta spin this beauty to decompress. Wish I still had the #cassette I totally wore out, but the 30th anniversary LP reissue will certainly do. #vinylcommunity #vinyl

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Sunday vibes with our vintage Zenith console and its original, recently restored changer. #vinylcommunity #vinyl #FleetwoodMac #cocktail

Sweet jesus this makes my skin crawl.

NEW: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to overhaul an obscure but vital program that underpins the nation’s childhood immunization system. Depending on what he does, the results could be catastrophic. By @sheinvestigates.bsky.social

Assuming this is true -- ie, FNC edited an interview to make Trump look less bad prior to the election-- then, as per the CBS settlement, FNC owes Kamala Harris 15 million dollars.

The Herald, btw, also was the paper that blew open the story of one Jeffrey Epstein, among other scoops.

Yup.

"This is not just a legal settlement — it's a travesty," says SPJ President Emily Bloch of Paramount Global's decision to settle with President Trump over his lawsuit against "60 Minutes."

New rules allow members of the public and state employees to go armed in government buildings, with exceptions including courthouses and law enforcement facilities. The change comes after a push by state lawmakers to do away with gun-free zones.

The B-52’s brilliant comeback album “Cosmic Thing” was released this week in 1989. A killer-no-filler kitschy lovable joyous masterpiece. Yeah, “Love Shack” is terribly overplayed…but I still love the rest. #vinylcommunity #vinyl

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

Wyoming's federal delegation backed Trump’s decision to bomb three Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend. That includes Rep. Harriet Hageman, who fiercely criticized former Congresswoman Liz Cheney for her interventionist stance.

Influencers like Alex Jones and Elon Musk have spent the weekend blaming the murder of Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman on leftists and the deep state. www.wired.com/story/psyop-...

The House has voted to defund public radio, and the proposal now moves to the Senate. But you can still take action to safeguard the future of a vital American service. Click the link here to stand up for public media: n.pr/3FAzQlq

Damn. 😞

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

Aimee Mann’s 2003 “Lost In Space” might be the most Gen-X album ever released. I’ve often credited The Jayhawks for helping me survive my early 30s, but I’m just realizing how essential this was as well. #VinylCommunity #GenX #AimeeMann #Vinyl

I’ve lived in Wyoming for nearly four decades and this is the first I’ve heard of this tragedy. So shameful.

It’s not like I need an excuse to spin some #ABBA vinyl, but tonight it’s in memory of their brilliant engineer Michael B. Tretow, who passed last week. Joyous pop perfection is a special blend of epic artistic and technical skill. This team had endless supplies of both. #VinylCommunity

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

“What Vladimir Putin did to Ukraine, that’s an invasion,” Ilya Somin, a law professor at George Mason University, explained. “On the other hand, illegal migration, or drug smuggling, or ordinary crime — that’s not an invasion.”

Behold the “most extraordinarily 80s-era soundtrack albums ever” nominees! “But where’s ’Pretty In Pink’ Mr Gen-X big shot?” you might ask. I had it on cassette, which was sadly played literally to death. ☠️🥺 #VinylCommunity #vinyl #GenX

Absolutely brilliant evening with the amazing @pattonoswalt.bsky.social and legend Emo Philips in Casper of all places!! I want more! (I snapped one souvenir pic at the very beginning 🫢). I had been nervous how a Wyo crowd would react. That was totally unnecessary. The vibes were 🔥💯

The picture of President Trump on a giant banner "is reminiscent of portraits of leaders hanging from public buildings, often seen in dictatorships, monarchies, and in descriptions in George Orwell’s 1984 of 'Big Brother.’” - The Independent (UK) www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

These are devastating stories. Brilliant reporting by @propublica.org, congratulations on the well-deserved #Pulitzer
