I’m a fan from way back, but it still makes me sad when I realize Devo was right all along, i.e. We’re all devo.

Pete Hegseth and his mother were not estranged for 48 years or since Pete was 12 years old. Republicans didn’t have much use for Mother Hegseth’s opinion on her son’s character in his confirmation hearings. Then again, Hegseth’s mom didn’t enable a child rapist to victimize her own child.

Trump on Adam Hamilton, Kansas Sen candidate and mega-church pastor, last night in Wichita, “Supposedly, he’s a pastor. Yeah, right. If he was a Christian, he would be voting for us. He’s not a pastor. He’s a pervert.” is simultaneously the most un-American and un-Christian thing he could say.

34-year career as a airline pilot. I met some interesting colleagues from all walks of life. Not sure I ever worked with a furry. Tuberville is off his rocker. He was a competent football coach at my alma mater. A US Senator? Not so much.

Swalwell is gone. Toast. Boebert is still there. The GOP is supporting Max Miller’s reelection campaign. McConnell occupies a position with no capacity to execute. Johnson recessed Congress multiple times to avoid votes. Both parties may be addicted to big money, but they are not “the same.”

Karl Rove mocking Trump at The Atlantic Festival is beyond ironic. Why give Rove a moment of publicity? There is a direct, straight-line relation from his (anonymously attributed) statement “we are history’s actors…we create our own reality,” to where we are today with this lying administration.

Canada, we’re sorry it’s come to this. More US citizens have voted for someone other than Trump than voted for him since he first ran in 2016 (he lost the popular vote then, as well). This is “Trade War”, written by Si Kahn and released in May 2026. mebanesville.bandcamp.com/track/trade-...

Happy Labor Day! youtu.be/q8Pr5o8AAc0?...

Dolly Parton dead. RIP to a good human being. We’re all worse off for it.

Guess who hasn’t called for Rep. Max Miller to be expelled.

From a month ago. No surprise in the answer. bsky.app/profile/libe...

July jobs report shows decline in labor market. Reminder: Joe Biden is the only president in history to have positive job growth every month of his presidency. stocks.apple.com/AZgcKsHLdTMK...

Rand Paul referring Fauci to the DOJ and US Attorney for DC for possible criminal prosecution is itself outside the law. Contempt of a committee must be referred to the parent chamber for action. Paul knows he can’t get 60 senators to vote for referral, so he’s trying an end run on the process.

My senator Thom Tillis’ legacy will be his deciding votes for Hegseth and for Blanche. Other than those 2 spineless prostrations he’ll be forgotten to history. May the ghosts of Terry Sanford, Sam Ervin and every other North Carolinian with a conscience haunt him all his days.

With tariffs back atop the headlines, here is “Trade War!”, a track from Mebanesville’s album, ICE Fishing in America. mebanesville.bandcamp.com/track/trade-...

Todd Blanche authorized subpoenas to NYT reporters. The judge in the case just gave the DoJ a choice-withdraw them or have them quashed. Why are we considering confirming an AG nominee that repeatedly defies court orders, disrespects the 1st Amendment and considers himself to be Trump’s lawyer?

Republicans have funded ICE to the tune of tens of billions of dollars, yet no body cameras make it to the front lines where thugs are killing legal immigrant workers and American citizens. This is not a logistics problem. It is a choice.

High prices are why Trump was elected and his failure to lower them. Are Republicans staring down the barrel of a brutal midterm? It’s not just that Trump didn’t lower prices It’s that he raised them by starting a war no one wanted against a country no one thought was an imminent threat and he lost

Just think of all the windmill cancer that we’re avoiding! 😡

Todd Blanche is meeting with Republican senators to shore up his confirmation chances. That includes Senator Bill Cassidy. So, is the doctor that gave us RFKjr to destroy the public health system, now going to vote to confirm the President’s personal lawyer to destroy the justice system as well?

So many many moments his career should have ended. I can think of 10 without trying

Prisons for profit should be illegal. Healthcare for profit should be illegal. Both are immoral.

I have little doubt that Ken Paxton is a worse human being than John Cornyn. Still, the shadenfreude is pretty sweet watching a guy that voted 99.2% with Trump get thrown under the bus. Good riddance.

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

I’ve seen headlines reporting the settlement (slush fund) in the Trump IRS case as $1.7 or $1.8 billion. It’s worse than that. They’re trolling us. The settlement is $1.776 billion. 1776, get it?

Models show 762,000 preventable deaths have occurred due to the dismantling of USAID. Peer reviewed research indicates 14,000,000 deaths by 2030. A large percentage are children. These are scientific studies by our most prestigious schools of public health. No one even talks about it now.
