We'll announce info regarding rescheduling as soon as we have it. We love you, Twin Cities—stay safe and please take care of each other. 🖤

Hey, @amyklobuchar and @TinaSmithMN: I'm not a senator, but if ICE thugs were rampaging through the major city in my state, I might try to impede Senate business as usual and bring everything to a halt until I could get answers or force some votes. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

That game was a hot mess for a while, but Ant was sublime all night. Sure is nice to have one of the best players on the planet

Saw y’all play this live, recently and it RIPS!!! An honor and joy to hear such talented souls give so much to this song. Safe travels to one and all.

Our hearts are broken. Ace has passed on. No one can touch Ace’s legacy. I know he loved the fans. He told me many times. Sadder still, Ace didn’t live long enough to be honored at the Kennedy Ctr Honors event in Dec. Ace was the eternal rock soldier. Long may his legacy live on!
