I’d rather be talking about music, but because the vile MAGA fascists are taking power, I’m here to talk about that too.

Fired. Investigated. Silenced. Reuters documented at least 470 targets of retribution under Donald Trump — from federal workers and prosecutors to universities and media outlets. It’s the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

I first heard the 12” version, with the long (read: kind of boring) flute and sax solos, but I much prefer the album version with Jools Holland’s piano solo.

You have to ask, why was Witkoff chosen for this critically important role of special envoy to Putin? He had no diplomatic or foreign policy experience. No education on those subjects. So of all people, why him? I think what we all surmised is clear - Putin wanted Witkoff.
