No one deserves to die by gunfire. But unless Republicans stop being led on a leash and bought off by gun lobbyists, acts like today will continue. Funny how GOP adheres to the Constitution when it serves them and blows it off when it doesn’t.

RIP Brian Wilson. The word genius gets tossed out too easily these days. Brian was a true genius who heard sounds in his head and, with the magnificent Pet Sounds and later Good Vibrations and Smile, realized them on record. He'll be missed.

@alanpaul.bsky.social Enjoyed your report from MSG last night. Do you think that configuration of players will ever tour? That would be awesome.

@alanpaul.bsky.social Dude, thanks for writing about Mike Campbell's new book on your Substack. Just picked it up today. Will be a good companion if I get any downtime at the NCAA regional semis finals in the ATL this week!

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Leader Jeffries, are the Democrats sending some of the heavy hitters in the party to FL-1, FL-6 and NY-21 to help our candidates across the finish line? It would be huge if you could get that gavel on April 1.

Yeah. All this is on my dance card, too.

The Republicans want big business and billionaires to wreak havoc on government programs that have worked well, and without the massive fraud they claim, for years. They want to privatize them and rip us off will the rich get richer. This is the anti Robin Hood plan. We MUST fight back.
March 6, 2025 at 4:30 PM
From the New Republic:

“Odds are Trump will try to privatize Social Security within the year.
And he may well get away with it, unless we can wake up enough people to this coming scam and put enough political pressure—particularly on Republicans—to prevent it from happening.”
Start raising hell!

Don’t let the bastards steal social security. Write your representatives. Raise hell. From the New Republic: [Social Security] has been the most successful anti-poverty program in the history of America, one now emulated by virtually every democracy in the world.

This is great news. Roberts and Barrett must have some semblance of empathy.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has *upheld* a lower court's order forcing USAID/State to immediately pay ~$2 billion owed to contractors for work they've alreayd performed.

The stable genius strikes again. Woe be on to those who voted for him again. You've royally effed us.
Interesting that the index hasn’t been this high since the presidency was occupied by … {puts on glasses, zooms in on chart, checks calendar} … the same guy who’s there today
Call it by its name: Trumpcession.

From ProPublica: "The Trump administration claims gutting federal agencies will save money, but cutting the IRS means the government collects less taxes. “If you’re interested in the deficit and curbing it, why would you cut back on the revenue side?” one expert asks."
Get pissed off!
March 5, 2025 at 1:15 PM
From Wired: "Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting."
Get pissed off. Help the three Democrats win the House special elections on April 1. Go to ActBlue.
March 5, 2025 at 1:14 PM
Wake up, people who voted for the fool responsible for this. Wake TF up! And for you Democrats, donate to the Democratic candidates running for House special elections on April 1. Go to ActBlue. Dems are running great candidates. Districts have voted red, but that was before the Big Betrayal.

If anyone sees the congressman from my district, please tell him his constituents would love to speak with him in a public setting.

We need more proposals like this that co-opt the chaos

Please share off line as well !!!

Red state fellow Americans, the GOP doesn't give a shit about you. They just serve their corporate masters and a whacked-out "president." You can help Democrats, who do care about you even if you didn't vote for them, win back the House by donating to special elections in NY-21, FL-1, and FL-6.

More proof the Grifter and his Goons are dismantling our country. From Wired:
• The Trump Administration Is Deprioritizing Russia as a Cyber Threat
• Appalachians Are Trapped in a Disastrous Cycle of Flooding and Rebuilding
• The SEC Is Abandoning Its Biggest Crypto Lawsuits
This is war against us.
