just saw Herbie Hancock at the Strathmore. played almost exclusively progressive jazz, went ~1 hour over time, much of the overage stemming from a nearly 40m lecture on evolution, compassion, & futurism done entirely via vocoder, and saved almost all the accessible fusion for post-lecture. the GOAT!

Obama: "They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and blame DEI for every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? Must be DEI. Your wife kicked you out? DEI. Who knew?"

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

LOL.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

It was great being back in Norfolk to help get out the vote for @abigailspanberger.com for Governor.

Virginia – Abigail Spanberger cares about your freedoms, she will fight for your rights, and she will work every day to make your life a little bit better.

Obama: The weird videos of a U.S. President with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet and dumping poop on protesting citizens… All of that is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation has not gotten better.

Jonathan Capehart: "National Guard troops in LA, Portland, Chicago, and threatening to use them in New York City if Zohran Mamdani wins the election on Tuesday — that sends a different kind of message. That is a threat to democracy message that a lot of people take."

this is insane.

Trump Boat Bombings Worsen as New Horror Shakes Experts: “Alarm Bells” Remember the Southern Command admiral who resigned two weeks ago? Hill Republicans haven’t heard from him—and they don’t apparently want to.

"Trump’s autocratic takeover depends on 'complicity, collaboration, and cowardice of congressional Republicans.' The GOP failure to exercise oversight on Trump’s bombings is allowing his consolidation of authoritarian power to balloon exponentially and dangerously."

This is fucking amazing

Please share: If you watch one thing today make it this and ask everyone you know in California to vote YES on Prop50!

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Opinion | Josh Hawley: No American Should Go to Bed Hungry

OK Senator Hawley, let’s put aside the fact that you voted for the largest cut to SNAP in history just this Summer.

Before Leader Thune adjourns the Senate bring your bill to fund SNAP to the floor and let’s try to pass it.

The FBI director is flying his girlfriend around on private government planes while FBI agents go without paychecks and families prepare to go hungry as SNAP benefits are being suspended

Democrats needed a new approach on a key House committee. Then came the uproar over Jeffrey Epstein Rep. Robert Garcia has seized on matters like the Jeffrey Epstein files, immigration enforcement and alleged corruption as issues to grab attention and galvanize Democrats. Garcia hopes that the effor...

“If [the president] can betray the American public about this, he can betray and lie to the public about anything,” Rep. Robert Garcia told the AP. “It all goes together. The Epstein files case shines a light on how Donald Trump is only out for himself.” https://to.pbs.org/4hwmODQ

They are all racing to the bottom in order to be the nominee. JD doesn’t have far to go.

Custom made double breasted uniform great coat not alluding to any historical period in particular surely

MAGA exists on fake outrage.

One in eight Americans will struggle to put food on the table if the Trump shutdown extends through next week.

Yet Republicans in Congress are nowhere to be found.

Tell them it's time to clock back in—because they work for us:

Former President Joe Biden called these “dark days” as he urged Americans to stay optimistic and not to check out in response to what he says are attacks on free speech and tests on the limits of executive power by President Donald Trump.

Deeply racist, yes, but also deeply stupid.

Rural counties have higher enrollments than urban ones. Some of the largest enrollment states are red ones like Louisiana, Oklahoma and West Virginia. Undocumented immigrants are ineligible. Most beneficiaries are required to work 80 hrs/month.

May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

We never needed a list. Women came forward and named their abusers. It doesn’t matter to people who don’t believe women in the first place. And these women will never receive justice under this regime.

When you talk to voters, talk about the Trump taxes (tariffs) and the Trump recession. Economics.

What the Heck Just Happened? With Heather and Joanne YouTube video by Dr. Joanne Freeman

Dr. Joanne Freeman: “He tore down the fucking White House”. 10/10 notes not required.

Don’t say there is nothing you can do. Because there always is.

Thank you, Chicago.

If this didn’t happen domestically, it would be a war crime.

It should be a crime to fire at civilians within the United States within certain distances.

We have never seen civil disobedience *or even outright riots* in which short-range is anything but punitive and cruel—it doesn’t aid control.

Tear gassing random residential streets is just absolutely psychotic behavior.

the way Trump and his administration keep going on livestreams and tv to laugh about this, I can’t really compare it to anything political that comes to mind, only thing that comes to mind rn is a serial killer who writes letter taunting family of their victim.
