Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Where are they taking these people? We keep talking about people getting abducted off the streets, but where the hell are they going?

And finally, the diva assoluta, Maria Callas. Showing what a badass singer she was, but not just a singer, a true musician. She was just as much an instrument as she was a voice, which you can hear from this rehearsal. youtu.be/CU3BeXquRFk?...

When I moved to New York to pursue a career in opera, I was always on the lookout hoping I would meet my inspiration, Beverly Sills. I finally met her one day in the lobby of NYCO and she was so lovely. Here she floats a lovely high D, as though it’s child’s play. youtu.be/J_BJK8G6Zlw?...

This opera from so many decades ago it a little too close to home these days. Check out the lyrics for this aria online. The whole opera could’ve been written yesterday. youtu.be/AIB9cGlLkm0?...

Happy #WorldOperaDay !!
Back when I was just a young apprentice, I was in the chorus for this opera, and the apprentices always would stand in the wings when the tenor sang this aria. It’s so enchanting. Nice rendition here. youtu.be/luXkBdICQAc?...

So I went to cast my ballot early in Westchester NY today. Same district that I have voted in regularly for over the past dozen years. Today was the first day anyone ever challenged my signature and to be honest, I wasn’t too thrilled about it. It felt a little sketchy. 😕

How bad does it have to get before real meaningful action is taken?

If the ballroom distracts him from doing other more terrible things, then I say by all means, he should focus on the ballroom and for as long as possible. He will never do anything in the best interests of United States citizens anyway. So let the ballroom be his pacifier.
