I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

A key point here among many: traditionally, WH budgets have not mattered, but Mike Johnson and John Thune are positioning their caucuses very differently this time. We should be very afraid. This piece lays out some advocacy demands that people should make sure their elected officials see/hear.

I desperately needed to laugh snort today. Trump imposed a 10% tariff on the Heard & McDonald Islands. The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited. Waiting to see if he adds the Iron Islands, Westeros, Gondor, Coruscant, Wakanda and Narnia. *shrug

The culling of the federal workforce we're seeing is not about revenge against those who have been fired necessarily; it's a warning to those who are still there, like the heads on pikes that ancient hordes used to plant to tell the villagers to stay in line. From me: prospect.org/labor/2025-0...

U.S. service members have long faced strict limits on abortions, even when used to resolve miscarriages. Under federal law, the military will only pay for abortions in cases of rape, incest or to save the mother’s life.

Regarding DOGE, I haven’t seen recognition from MAGA that 30% of the fed employees are Vets. Also, Republicans sent a letter to attempt to further restrict IVF from military insurance (Tricare). It seems the impact of these policies will negatively impact the military.
