RIP to the great Sly Stone. A monumental loss. His PR just sent this out.
a photo of sly stone with text that says “It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved dad, Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone. After a prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues, Sly passed away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friend, and his extended family. While we mourn his absence, we take solace in knowing that his extraordinary musical legacy will continue to resonate and inspire for generations to come.”

The CBO estimates that Trump's Big Ugly Bill, which is stuffed with tax cuts skewed to the wealthy, will explode the deficit by $2.4T and kick 10.9M people off their health insurance. This has always been the GOP strategy: socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.
