For anyone who still follows me on this hellscape of a platform, I’ll be reuniting with my original band for one night only at @JoesPub at @PublicTheaterNY on 3/24. publictheater.org/performances-j…

@SenatorCollins Are you convinced that maybe this time he will learn his lesson? Shame on you

Tim is right. This was appalling.

US Marshals, acting on behalf of the DOJ in Memphis, TN, kicked a dog during an arrest, leaving it with a broken rib. Fedbois target the defenseless like serial killers. It's well documented— they find joy in the suffering of innocent animals. What should be his punishment?

Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come.  This is one of them.

@SenatorCollins Where is your statement on ICE? Where is your statement on Greenland? Where is your statement on Jerome Powell?

My statement on the Venezuela War Powers Resolution:

Musk is defending this? That’s it, I’m out

@lisamurkowski How about denouncing the rhetoric instead?

I continue to hope the administration’s rhetoric on Greenland is nothing more than posturing for a new era of cooperation, because any effort to claim or take the territory by force would degrade both our national security and our international relationships. We have a long history of close cooperation with Greenland, dating back to World War II and continuing today with the Pituffik Space Base, and have always been able to achieve our mutual goals through strong diplomacy with its people. As Greenland charts its future, we must see it as an ally, not an asset, and focus on continued partnership rather than possession.

Here’s the 60 Minutes segment that CBS suddenly refused to air—after Trump criticized the show. Take a few minutes to watch what they didn’t want you to see. This story should be told:

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-60…

@ChrisMurphyCT So impeach him

For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment. When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

It’s the Kennedy Center. It’s the Gulf of Mexico. It’s the Dept of Defense. Just like: It’s science. It’s math. It’s the law. It’s decency. It’s honor. It’s truth. All will be restored, hopefully much sooner than later.

@SenBillCassidy Then do something about it

As a doctor and pro-life American, I’m concerned that more energy is going into promoting disproven claims about vaccines than protecting women from the dangers of chemical abortion drugs.

@Yankees cursed themselves when they did those photo ops with the convicted felon fascist dictator a few weeks ago. No love for this heartless, soulless team. Thanks to @TalkinYanks @NYYUNDERGROUND @Joba_44 and @NickTurturro1 for the fun posts this postseason. See ya next year

@EllisMichaels9 1950, actually

"We have become a nation of awful paradox: hysteria inlaid with unconcern, literacy woven with misconception, democracy wrapped up in tyranny, boldness nailed down by fear. I have no doubt of the outcome, but I dread the interval." - Connie Converse (quote likely from the 1960's)

This hour, a look at the music and mystery of the enigmatic singer-songwriter Nick Drake and his enigmatic singer-songwriter mother, Molly Drake. with @jimchap @WilliamHermes @howardfishman @angiemartoccio

@notjessewalker Thanks for reading and posting

The life and art of Nick Drake's mom. "She would have been as hard to categorize in the '40s as Nick was in the '60s. She had the intimacy of a jazz singer or pop crooner without any jazz or pop influence in her music." nytimes.com/2025/08/13/obi…
