I only got to hear Todd Snider in concert one time, when a friend who wanted me to hear him invited me to the show at the Great American in SF. It was such a memorable night, and not just because Ramblin Jack Elliott was on stage with him. Sad to hear that Todd Snider has passed on, far too young.

Headline from CNN that reads Trump administration drops plan to require passenger compensation for delayed flights

Of course they did.

Why are Republicans in the House and Senate so afraid to bring Jack Smith before their committees to testify in public under oath before the American people? Isn’t that what MAGA wants? Don’t you want to “expose” him? What’s going on here?

The Verdict of History Trump and his fascist glorification

Trump is moving to immortalize himself with his name etched into coins, carved into pediments, and inscribed into marble. He wants to glorify himself in the most permanent ways possible.

We must not allow Trump to rewrite history with false tributes to himself.

Nashville joined communities nationwide for Operation Green Light – illuminating the Historic Courthouse in support of our veterans. Plus, the Korean Veterans Memorial Bridge reflected red, white and blue to honor those who served. Thank you to our veterans! 💚🇺🇸

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: It's a bad deal. Everyday life - making it better and more affordable - must always be our bottom line. For months, I’ve been hearing from people bracing for their health insurance bills to skyrocket - so much that some will lose coverage altogether. Some say they simply haven't even opened their letter yet, dreading the bad news. Any deal that fails to address this directly is a bad deal.

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."

For once, I believe him.

A graphic with a white and gray gradient background contains bold red text that reads: “BELIEVING THE REPUBLICANS WHEN THEY ‘PROMISE’ A VOTE ON HEALTHCARE IS LIKE BELIEVING TRUMP WHEN HE SAID PROJECT 2025 WASN’T THE PLAN OF HIS ADMINISTRATION.” At the bottom, it credits @kdnerak33.bsky.social, and in the corner is the logo BRIAN TYLER COHEN.

To the 8 senators who voted to give up the only leverage they had and trust the GOP:

YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders LIVE: I Won't Support Doubling Health Care Premiums

I’m voting no on the continuing resolution that would double healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans, kick 15 million people off Medicaid & allow 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily every year.

All to give $1 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires.

Go Irish!

Make America Great Again…

GTF Out!

As pollution accumulates over time, breast cancer among younger women has risen.

In addition, Rump has canceled cancer research.

Vote OUT every corrupt, Trump-enabling, pedophile-protecting Republican!!!

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.

Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

Let’s do it with a super majority! Vote!

What Democrats did last night is just the beginning.

Next year, we are flipping the House and the Senate blue.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Where are American journalists speaking the truth? Thank you Paul Haccker 🇨🇦

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Stop watching!

Nearly 8 in 10 Americans agree that spending by wealthy donors and corporations in our elections gives rise to corruption — including majorities of Republican and independent voters.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

We must overturn Citizens United.

The new Countdown podcast drops at midnight - and that's it, isn't it?

If Andrew can no longer be "Prince" because of Epstein, Trump can no longer be President because of Epstein

Plus: the Royals may be pushing Andrew to atone by telling all he knows about Epstein. Guess who might come up?
