@fetterman.senate.gov, who does nothing but undermine his own party, is pretending he had ANYTHING at all to do with last night’s victories and fundraising off of OTHER people’s work. Screenshot attached. Go back to FOX News, shit bird. Maybe they’ll buy your lies, coat-tail rider.

Bought sliced sandwich bread two weeks ago—Pepperidge Farm rye/pumpernickel swirl—and it was $3.49 or so. Maybe $3.85. Today, same grocery: nearly $5.00. For a loaf of basic sandwich bread, nothing fancy. #inflation #trumpeconomy #gop

Just finished an ep. of “Murder She Wrote,” in which a blind man was unjustly suspected of a murder that took place during a blackout because—I am not making this up—“only a blind man could see in the dark.” The #1980s, man…

Sometime between 2013-2015, at the late great Rodeo Bar in NYC, on tour with Woody Pines. I can probably still pull this off. The trick, BTW, is to wear slacks or dress pants. Jeans won’t cut it, balls need room.
