Forty-eight. I'm a touring musician. Only missing Honolulu and Miami. Very much hope to see both, kinda don't care if it's to play a show or not. All these cities are amazing, but then any gathering of hundreds of thousands of humans is bound to be.

I doubt you could convince me that starving children to death made me safer. But if you somehow proved to me that it did, I pray I would have the simple moral courage to say that it would not be worth it.

Starving children is unjustifiable. There is no benefit that could outweigh that cost.

The Big Beautiful Bill gives Meta a $15 billion check.

That’s more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year.

If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, we’d create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.

As if the recent obsession with β€œAlligator Alcatraz”—and the images and memes popping up all over social media in celebration of itβ€”isn’t grotesque enough as it is.

Just look at the images our own government is putting out:

The cost of housing has gone up by 174% since 1990.

Childcare costs are up 120%.

Healthcare costs are up a whopping 270%.

It doesn't have to be this way. Our government can put American families first, create good jobs, and build an economy that people can afford.

Of note, an RNCC spokesman called my policies of living wages, affordability, and Medicare for all:

β€œβ€¦a far-left agenda that’s completely out of touch with the values of western Wisconsin.”

Yep, to Rs, people-first policy is β€œout of touch.”

Trust me- this is a Kids AND Parents AND Folks Without Kids show. The Freight serves beer. I'm gonna sing at the kids, and past the kids. I've only done this once before and it was a rollicking disaster. I'm aiming for more rollicking and even more disaster.

Scott Turner: "In 2018, Powell brought down interest rates during the Biden administration, and now he won't even bring it down when the economy is thriving. I don't understand it."

Yesterday Wisconsin voters sued the State Elections Commission charging that congressional maps are β€œantithetical to virtually every principle necessary to sustain a representative democracy.” Battles to ensure that all votes count rage on. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvwi.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

I can’t stop thinking about how the Access Hollywood tape came out before the election even happened, yet suddenly we have people concerned that the President might have lied about being a sexual predator who were totally fine with it when he told the truth about being a sexual predator

very grim

BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files.

As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed.

Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.

A live update published by the team at the Boston Globe.

The headline reads: House speaker starts summer recess early to avoid taking up vote over Jeffrey Epstein files.

Below is a picture of Speaker Mike Johnson speaking.

The President’s dead pedophile friend just cancelled US democracy for the rest of the summer.

Even the worst predictions for Trump’s 2nd term weren’t close.

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. πŸ™πŸ»

Colbert owes us nothing, BUT... he may be the only person who could unseat Lindsey Graham in the 2026 race for Senator from South Carolina. Long shot, probably... or he would absolutely crush him and tip the Senate. @stephencolbert.bsky.social Just... think about it. @colbertlateshow.bsky.social
