I was just going through a box of my old memorabilia, and I thought I’d share this concert ad from 1984 (just in case you thought my biopic was LYING about Howie Mandel opening for me!)

1984 L.A. newspaper clipping advertising a Weird Al concert at the Starlight Amphitheatre “with very special guest Howie Mandel”

Everyone, every Democrat, every Republican, every citizen, every defender of these two parties and the policies they represent needs to stop right now and think about the fact that military service members need food banks after missing a paycheck.

Who’s on CNN giving real people real facts about exactly what is causing America’s problems and what needs to be done to fix it? Notice it’s not Democratic leadership.

BERNIE: “I worry we are increasingly becoming an oligarchic form of society, where a very small # of people control our economy + have huge influence over both political parties. if there was ever a time to stand up for working families and prevent authoritarianism, this is it.”

Reminder that no Kings protest is on Saturday, October 18. Look it up and find your local location even in this deep red state of Kentucky. I'm going to the Davis County courthouse and I'm gonna have my flag in my sign. You all have to get out there, please

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?

I know the whole “every accusation is a confession” thing but it’s pretty clear this is the most elitist government that’s existed in decades. It’s just 12 billionaires in a group chat sharing banned Reddit memes

Wow. Badluck Schleprock is a real throwback. Might as well add Wrongway Wainwright to the mix and make it a total disaster.

Gods. Not the Manchin is a meany bull shit again. Notice how Republicans have no problem implementing their agenda. Notice how they had a plan and everyone got behind it. A party that can’t corral its own members isn’t a functional organization.

👻Teleportnow👽💀🎃 @teleportnow.bsky.social · 13h

This 👇🏻. People don’t want to hear it and I don’t care. Democrats failed to pass the most basic legislation to defeat Trump. They failed at every opportunity to defeat Trumpism. And I have zero faith in their ability to do any differently in the future.

Nina Turner @ninaturner.bsky.social · 17h

Those who were unable to enshrine voting rights into law when Democrats held the House, Senate, and White House are not the political leaders equipped to defend democracy.

They’ve already failed at it and are refusing to give up power.

And it starts with Schumer & Jeffries.

No! I want my taxes to fund the bombing of other nations! I want my taxes to bail out corrupt foreign governments! I want my taxes to subsidize billionaires! I want my taxes to build lots & lots of weapons that sit in warehouses until they’re obsolete! I want gold ballrooms & a secret police force!

The Democratic party has earned every bit of scorn and derision it receives. So you don’t like Bernie. So what. That ship has sailed. But his ability to identify issues affecting voters and offer solutions is desperately needed in left wing politics today.

Barely. And then failed to do a god damned thing to keep him out of office again. So whatever. Fly that Dem flag if it floats your boat. But from everywhere in the country it looks like you’re sinking.

They did a great job. As his poll numbers still indicate. People know exactly where Sanders stands and exactly what he wants to do. I can’t say that about more than 3 or4 members of the whole Dem debacle.

Sadly. There isn’t a third party money machine. Which is why all we have is the current crop of losers who can’t beat Trump to save our lives. Literally fucking save our lives.

No. Google is your friend. The whole incident is very well documented and even merited an internal party investigation. Do some research.
