Had a wonderful time playing with "The Beast" Mandy Gonzalez at Broadway and Vine!
I still cannot believe I got to play Breathe with her. What a powerhouse!

And the whole gig was in great hands with Music Direction by the incredible Jim Abbott. A monster player and class act!

Had a hilarious time playing a couple of shows with Ana Gasteyer in October. An absolute joy! Thank you to Broadway & Vine for having me!

I love Ed.
I’ve played three productions there and I’ve always felt taken care of.

The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

The U.S. armed forces may soon face the choice of whether to refuse illegal and unconstitutional orders, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. What will they do?

This is terrifying, so please read this as cope: The Wilshire Federal Building is 15 *miles* from the protests in downtown Los Angeles. It is a half-hour drive. You could fit an entire Manhattan, the long way, between them.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know.

This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful.

Trump and his shock troops are out of control.

This must end now.

Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, or the Space Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

Let's all take a moment to read the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. It's only one sentence.

** Evidence You Might Be In A Cult **

You follow one charismatic Leader.

In your Leader’s mind, your Leader can do no wrong.

In your mind, your Leader can do no wrong.

Your Leader demonizes dissidents & outsiders.

Loyalty's the ultimate measure of your devotion.

You don't know you're in a Cult

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Off-loading Federal expenses to the States seems like a sensible idea for a Republican administration, until you realize:

Nine of the ten States that rely most on Government funding -- all receiving more money per capita than they pay in taxes -- voted Red in the last election.
