I’m just an old wordslinger who made his living as a metropolitan daily newspaper writer/editor, and wrote a few songs that were recorded in Nashville. (My sense of humor has become a liability, but I’m seriously anti-MAGA Republican.)

This was news for about 24 hours, until Speaker Johnson sent Congress away so there would not be a vote. So just in case you missed it:

Susan Collins pledged to serve just TWO terms. Now she’s running for a SIXTH. Trust matters. Promises matter. Troy Jackson is fighting for working families, lower drug costs & protecting Social Security. After 30 years, Maine deserves more than “concerned.” #MainePolitics #TroyJackson #SheShed

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.
In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

Socialism is good. It’s about ensuring everyone in society, the community, has a chance to can be fed, educated, paidcworknsufficientbto live, health care when required. For that we pay taxes. Those with more, pay more! This is what Hollywood told us was the ‘American Dream’ Clearly they Lied!

This is what @booker.senate.gov does so powerful - & frankly, I DO believe his actual ideals & positions are the right ones. So how do WE get him off corporate & AIPAC teats & use his formidable powers for the people? I remember in NJ when he let people in his house during a storm. I want THAT guy.

Only I can fix it, Trump claimed. You truly had to be brain dead to believe that. Trump has never fixed anything, not his multiple marriages, not his recurring bankruptcies, not his moral rot. Racism, greed and narcissism are the sum total of Trump.
