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.

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

Thatβs more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year.
If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, weβd create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.

As if the recent obsession with βAlligator Alcatrazββand the images and memes popping up all over social media in celebration of itβisnβt grotesque enough as it is.

Just look at the images our own government is putting out:
1/
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:
ββ¦a far-left agenda thatβs completely out of touch with the values of western Wisconsin.β
Yep, to Rs, people-first policy is βout of touch.β

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.
This is so true

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.
