You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Ryan Jewell, Patri Satish Kumar, and Bill MacKay this evening improvising and collaborating magically at * Far Out * at the IO Theater in Chicago. I wish I had a recording of the artistry I heard tonight.

The fantastic Patri Satish Kumar, Indian percussionist and master of the mridangam, was kind enough to let me take his portrait after an amazing collaborative performance this evening with my friends Ryan Jewell and Bill MacKay.

Dean: The president is unhinged

Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him

Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals.

Johnson: I didn’t see it.

Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

No president has ever stood in front of our military and declared half the nation are bad people. Even Lincoln in the civil war called for unity and better angels.
I am sick at heart.
