Great choice.

Love to see some Book of Love here!

Whoa, Alabama. 💥

Birmingham-area activists put up a Trump–Epstein billboard on a busy highway: “What’s the big secret, fellas?”

Hellyes!

One of the foundational songs of all time.

The shocking far-right agenda behind the surveillance tech used by ICE and the FBI Clearview AI’s founders always intended to target immigrants and the political left. Now their digital dragnet is in the hands of the Trump administration.

Thousands of newly obtained documents show that Clearview AI’s founders always intended to target immigrants and the political left. Now their digital dragnet is in the hands of the Trump administration.

Superb song.

One of my 100 favorite songs of the 2010s.

An absolute winner.

And I love the choreography in the video.

"...just like Ronnie sang..."

Ronnie Spector remains an epic pop vocalist for all time.

He was a total 1 off.

I had heard a couple Bowie songs before on the radio at the time, but didn't realize it.

"Blue Jean" is where I put the face and the name together with the work for the initial time.

Then Labyrinth came out 2 years later and nothing would be the same again for me as a kid.

"Swinging Lord Byron!"

This music video, at the time of its release, was my on-boarding moment to Bowie.

There was a long-form version that played every hour on the hour the weekend of its release & when I 1st caught it, I was BLOWN AWAY.

I've been a fan ever since.

Of the various artists who collaborated with Prince, Jill Jones is among the vocally greatest. That she didn't breakthru to a bigger career is stunning.

Her later collaboration with Ryuichi Sakamoto is also remarkable.

BREAKING: Two victims of Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, ripped the federal government for appearing to be more concerned with protecting the financier's wealthy friends instead of them. @nicollewallace.bsky.social reports.

Phang: Good for Pritzker, good for Hochul, good for Newsom—good for these other Democratic governors who are saying, “You know what? F off.” We’re not going to let people in these other states—people who are under attack and trying to do the right thing for their constituents—go without support

I remember exactly where I was when I 1st heard this song coming thru the speakers of my radio. It stopped me dead in my tracks. Nothing sounds like this song.

Written, sung, & produced all by Jane Child herself.

Corey Hart
"It Ain't Enough"
1984

The 2nd single from his 1st studio album, it reached #17 on the US charts.

Best remembered now for his enduring 80s classic, "Sunglasses at Night," his career was more defined at the time by this type of midtempo ballad.

Why didn't Todd Blanche talk to the victims to get the names of the perpetrators?

'Unprecedented': New report argues Trump WH plans to undermine 2026 midterms Michael Waldman of the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law joins Morning Joe to discuss the center's newest report 'The Trump Administration’s Campaign to Undermine the Next Election'.

@mawaldman.bsky.social on @msnbc.com's Morning Joe just now: "For the first time, we see a concerted drive by the Trump administration to undermine the 2026 election. A lot of this is illegal, and it is emphatically not normal."

Great track.

Trump moves to bar nearly all abortions at Veterans Affairs hospitals The Trump administration is moving to end nearly all abortions at Veterans Affairs medical facilities, overturning a Biden-era policy that sought to protect access.

The Trump Administration just moved to BAN abortion care for VETERANS, even in instances of rape and incest.

This is just another attack on our veterans and reproductive health care.

We owe it to our servicemembers to provide them the care they need.
