A legendary stage moment in jazz and bossa nova history.
João Gilberto's performance of Garota de lpanema (1967), featuring American jazz saxophonist Stan Getz. This is likely from their collaboration that produced the highly influential album Getz/Gilberto.

Don't let anyone tell you tax cuts for the rich cost nothing.
The less revenue we collect, the more the deficit runs up.
The more the deficit we run up, the more Republicans will threaten Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security
Tax cuts for the rich are the real Ponzi scheme.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation has filed a federal lawsuit to halt President Trump’s plan to build a massive new ballroom on White House grounds. The administration sidestepped multiple federal laws by advancing the project without required reviews.

The GOP just blocked extending the ACA subsidies - again.
Making people’s healthcare skyrocket while you control the White House and both chambers of Congress seems like a great move for the midterms.

Farmers are celebrating the bailout as “Christmas coming early.” Meanwhile, many of the same voices insisted students didn’t deserve loan relief because they should “pull themselves up by their bootstraps.”

A quick update from DC.
Only two legislative weeks to go and Mike Johnson and House Republicans are nowhere on extending the ACA tax credits.

DAMMIT It's Not Alzheimer's! Here's Why It's A Far Worse Nightmare Scenario
You deserve the facts, not conjecture. Alzheimer's diminishes a person. Trump's not diminishing, he's escalating, and you need to know the frightening reason why.

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.
No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"

Indiana Republicans are under significant pressure to do something they know is wrong: rig the maps and silence voters.
Washington Republicans are demanding a "9–0 map." That’s not democracy - that’s cheating. They know it, and they’re ashamed, which is why they’re hesitating.
