Retired TV news producer/director. Earth is our home, and climate change threatens all of us. Survival requires peace and cooperation. Music is the language of love and I speak with my guitar. Trump belongs in the big house, not the White House.
Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president" Think about that America... A sitting US Senator acting like he cannot do a fkng thing about Trump, while he continues to vote to do nothing about Trump.
Trump is now moving to enforce his white supremacist fascism worldwide. #LockHimUp edition.cnn.com/2025/04/01/b...

Absolutely 💯 If I ever came face to face with him I have so many things I’d love to tell him. None of them are pleasant. What would you like to say to him? #Blues
Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

I was at this show. The Palms was an old movie theater converted into a bar/nightclub with tables instead of rows of seats. An unforgettable show by an awesome band. Keyboard player Jerry Harrison is from Milwaukee, so it was a hometown gig for him. I saw Dire Straits there too. shorturl.at/zaj09

Biden was replenishing our stockpiles with US manufacturers using US union steel. Trump has sent tens of thousands of those jobs overseas and has crippled our supply chain with tariffs and none of our allies want to help us. Maybe we can buy our arms back from Saudi Arabia.
In case you’re wondering who’s really “begging for a deal”
Republicans won’t stop a corrupt tyrant from unnecessarily shaking down American taxpayers, but they *will* stop women from getting necessary healthcare. What amoral jackholes.

After Trump won in 2024, NBC News reported that he "had realigned the entire political map” and that Democrats had “no easy path” to fix it." (see 2nd comment below) With Trump's approval ratings falling below 40% less than two years later, that analysis may have been inaccurate. shorturl.at/jy3No
Americans Are Turning on Trump
The president’s big gains with Black, Hispanic, and young voters in 2024 suggested a major shift. Less than two years later, he has lost those new supporters.

Trump is ignorant, insane, and getting worse every day. He wants to stop people from voting in November because he likes Putin's Russian system more than American democracy. Let's just hope he doesn't destroy our nation or the world while he's still in the White House. 🙏 #LockHimUp
