I think people missed it amid Whiskey Pete's other faceplants in congressional hearings in last two weeks--but he struggled to distinguish the US from ISIS and al Qaeda two weeks ago.

Any one else disappointed that ICE can find so many people willing to do that work?

Something I’d note is that while there is criminal immunity for “official acts” for the president, no such immunity exists for the deputy chief of staff.

People with complete understanding and deep knowledge of the Middle East know better than to militarily involve the US in these conflicts. There is no one in the current US regime with knowledge or understanding.

Medicaid Die In June 17, 2025, Greensboro,NC in front of the office of Senator Thom Tillis. #ncpol #MedicaidSavesLives ##HandsOffMedicaid

"If you’re among the vast sea of Americans who remain enthusiastically grateful for vaccines, the time for pushing back against Kennedy isn’t later, when he’ll likely be ratcheting up his program to 'reevaluate' longstanding pediatric vaccines."

Call me when the fat white guy with the Trump sticker on his truck who owns the construction company that hires the workers gets detained by ICE.

If only the protesters in LA had thought to overrun the US Capitol. That's apparently ok.

Chester Burnett was born on this day in 1910.

The lead singer of the world’s “greatest bar band” has no trouble with covers. Only The Strong Survive is tonight’s album. #vinylcommunity

“As many as 2.7 million households would lose food benefits, with the average blow to the family grocery budget totaling $254 a month… “By design, the Trumpy Medicaid changes will remove 10.3 million people from their health insurance, according to the CBO…” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

June 2, 1978. This has been a favorite since I set the needle down on side one. Badlands opens and sets the tone for the whole album. It’s doesn’t let up, full throttle. Possibly my favorite album of all time. #vinylcommunity

You need this in your timeline! Stop to listen. Amazing.

Continuing in that vein,I suppose leads me to this 1974 Asylum release of Dylan and The Band. #vinylcommunity #bobdylan #theband

Listening to some Dylan today, music and interviews and I realized it’s no wonder I prefer to buy and listen to older records. You had to be someone with some road miles to get a recording deal while today you make an album first and expect the rest to fall into place. #vinylcommunity #music #bob

The NC Supreme Court—in an opinion released at 4:30 on a holiday weekend—affirms the Court of Appeals ruling that gives the GOP control of NC elections. It's 5-2 party-line decision, with Earls dissenting. appellate.nccourts.org/orders.php?t... #ncpol

1979 copy that’s in near mint condition. In the evening we listen to In Through The Out Door. #vinylcommunity

A point is being missed in the Noem Habeas Corpus discussion: The rights you had before Jan. 20th are meaningless. Trump can do whatever he wants. Full stop. Our govt is rooted in the constitution & the oath to uphold it which he as no intention of doing and in a sense of decency he doesn't possess.

So yes, as currently written the House GOP budget will require half a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicare. That’s T as in trillion and “care” as in Medicare on top of the cuts to Medicaid and Obamacare. So how did this happen? As near as I can tell House Republicans and the …

Everything he touches goes bankrupt.

Rob Manfred making Pete Rose eligible for the Hall of Fame because Donald Trump whined about it in a tweet is a fucking nightmare, man.

Happy 77th birthday Steve Winwood. Tonight I’m listening to The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. #vinylcommunity #stevewinwood #traffic

Read this book. You’ll thank me later. 💙📚

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Who’da ever thunk that Marantz, Bowers and Wilkins et al would be a wholly owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics in the Harman Group?

Tonight’s listening party starts with side 2 of IV. #vinylcommunity

The female singer that Bob Dylan said he loved and admired #bobdylan #Music #rock

Is it over?

Just noting - Trump is bragging about decorating the Oval Office in gold while telling America's kids to cut down on buying toys.

Having a functionally illiterate celebrity as president is always cringe inducing but today seeing the United States of America represented by him is especially exhausting.

How do you establish someone is in the US illegally, without due process?

I love baseball.

I was intrigued by the cover and the title so I bought this LP when I was 15. It’s a heavy favorite. Pittman pressing and it’s still in regular rotation. #vinylcommunity #thewildtheinnocentandtheestreetshuffle

20 years ago today, Bruce Springsteen released Devils & Dust, a stark, powerful album that debuted at No. 1. Sometimes the quietest songs are the ones that hit the hardest.

Tonight’s music is a 1980 Terre Haute pressing of an eagerly awaited double album by Springsteen and the E Street Band. I’m trying to nail down the exact version I have but it’s NM and was tagged at $20 It’s The River #vinylcommunity #brucespringsteenandtheestreetband#theriver

Do it, it’s good for you.

The level of criminal conduct here is hard to imagine www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
