Hi Folks! I’m here mostly to grab news, share encouraging views and sharp takes on the fly, and dream of a better future for our country. 🇺🇸 Once in a while I say something clever, but I don’t post a whole lot. Busy singing, directing, practicing my neophyte piano skills, and writing new books…

Enjoy these sky-high oil prices, America... ...because they may soon *double*. Trump and his crazy Republicans are promising to restart the Iran War the second you leave the voting booth. Only Democrats can stop them. Maybe that’s something to consider while *inside* the booth?

Yes!

Trump looks and sounds like a literal demon today

Smart move by Mike Rogers' staff to set up his earpiece so it mutes any reference to Trump.

Trump didn't cook the books. He deep-fried them.

She walked away pretty fast!

In 2020, Jared Kushner was senior advisor to the president of the United States, a full-time employee of the United States government, and was subject to numerous disclosure requirements and ethical restrictions under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978.

Very much presaged by the 600-page 2019 NYT bestseller PROOF OF CONSPIRACY—which covers enough of the same ground that few who read the article below will be surprised, if they read that earlier book—but this new book excerpt is nevertheless shocking for further confirming that Kushner is a traitor.

Remember, Republicans made George Soros an international boogeyman when he was giving Democrats a *tenth* of this Now... {crickets}

I voted early today! Have you voted yet? Get on it.

Machines switching votes, fewer polling places and long ballots can all be defeated by voting early.

Q: The president is coming back to Georgia on Saturday-- OSSOFF: Good. It will remind Georgians of the president's failure

Dear Hawai'i: One Weird Trick for getting your land back

Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson: It was the largest early vote activation in American history! Y'all did that. Y'all turned people power into voter power at nearly 3,000 events on Saturday and the results are undeniable. Early voting was up 51% in zip codes with a No Kings Vote Early event.

Astonishing. See the second part as well.

Wow Trump is just making huge gaffes during this speech: They gave the wonderful peace prize, right? Does anybody know the name of that peace prize? They gave the Pulitzer Prize to a young lady

Couldn't Trump's doctors Institutionalize him? Or couldn't one of them go public? On behalf of mankind? Risk everything (and btw become Psychology Jesus and an instant World Hero forever and make billions from a grateful planet?) This all-new Countdown Podcast dropping at midnight eastern

Donald Trump lost Minnesota three times in a row - let's make it four.

Neil Bush: “I see in [James Talarico] the qualities I admire most in public servants: integrity, civility, humility, and a willingness to listen to those with whom he disagrees... a principled, pragmatic leader who understands public office is a responsibility to serve, not an entitlement to power.”

🤮

Wow.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Absolutely spot on. She was right about everything.

When I was practicing I was involved in thousands of hearings I can't recall even one that went anything like this Judges are starting to understand that the so-called movement Trump burped out in 2015 was intended to destroy the justice system by destroying the norms of legal advocacy and ethics

More crazy time.

The last words... "this guy has nuclear weapons." 🤯

Brett Meiselas: This is something that has been decades in the making… I don’t even think people totally understand how deep it goes. It’s one of the things we speak about in our new book, WTF America.. is how the seeds were planted for this right-wing infrastructure going back to the ’70s…

Scott James Matheson, the Republican mayor of Valdosta, Georgia, explain why he's voting for Jon Ossoff: "It's a relationship. I don't know how it took root, but it's been beneficial to myself as a mayor and the city of Valdosta."

"After weighing these factors, Paulk has decided for the first time in his life to cast a ballot for a Democrat -- Ossoff. He doesn't agree with him on all issues -- notably, abortion -- but it's Ossoff's help in getting federal aid after Helene wreaked havoc on Paulk's grape crop that won his vote"

RFK Jr is “a little different”? 👀 He sure is. A little different. A lot incompetent. And unquestionably deluded and destructive. Also… Not a woman.

Rfkjr is disgusting youtube.com/shorts/HORYJ...

This man is so impressive! I heard from my cousins in Marblehead, Massachusetts, about Ossoff a couple of voting cycles ago. Apparently his father grew up there and he spent time with his grandfather in MA. So they told me to keep an eye on him—and I can see why.

For you youngs who weren't alive for this: Understand that the Chicks were an early rollout of the far right intimidation that we see targeting judges, members of Congress, and ICE protestors now.

I do not disavow The Brotherhood of Man! (From the Broadway musical “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” Which I was in in college.) youtu.be/cNTeeHhpxBE

Uniter Schooled Tommy: “Do you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood?” Abdul El-Sayed: Yes! “Do you disavow any attempt to read any religious doctrine into the laws of our country?” T: “I do not.” ES: “I think it’s you who needs to understand the CONSTITUTION, not me.” #GTS #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

Yes, who can forget the violent Reign of Terror (September 5, 1793 – July 27, 1794) in France, which was famously conducted by unassimilated people from third-world countries? [Checks actual history.] Oh, wait. They were French. Yale owes the world an apology for this idiot.

He’s got a gift. The current guy’s got the grift.

Ossoff: "Maybe you saw that Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday, oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one enduring two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its 5 month high"

Biden handed off an improving economy to Trump and Trump tanked it. That simple. Or it *would* be—but Trump wasn't satisfied with just tanking the economy with a useless war and silly tariffs, so now we're headed toward *total collapse*. All Republicans must be voted out. This party is a disaster.

NEW: The leader of the UK Liberal Democrats, Sir Ed Davey:

Again, this seems to be Republicans' big closing message for the midterms, so it's worth asking -- what the fuck are they talking about. Ask any parent with a kid in public schools if they'll so much as give them an Advil without written and signed permission. Then show them this insane shit.

Must read.
