BEFORE AMERICA’S ANTHEM, BUFFALO HEARD CANADA’S. 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Before the Bills and Detroit Lions kicked off on September 17, 2026, the brand-new Highmark Stadium welcomed Toronto’s Barenaked Ladies to perform “O Canada.” 🙏🙏♥️

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power.

Gosh, if only there were some kind of professional organization for White House journalists that existed to advocate for the First Amendment and defend the freedom of the press. They could organize together as a united front against Trump's censorship. That would be something.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

Lots of folks are comparing McConnell’s vote today to Feinstein’s finals days in the senate. The main difference is that Feinstein was co-sponsoring legislation to expand voting rights, while McConnell voted to cut SNAP and end environmental protections.

There is no doubt in my mind - Trump will demolish the Kennedy Center. He will send in bulldozers before we can blink. If I can’t have it, nobody will.
