18ish years ago I was standing with a friend on the Howard El platform. Off of the purple line signs promising trips to Linden, I noted to my friend the existence of the Van Morrison song “Linden Arden Stole The Highlights.” A stranger, then, a man of gray age, turned and praised the song.

The @presidencies.bsky.social crew will soon meet your Loom pal, a summit unprecedented, as we have never met in person. It’s been nearly 2 years since I first found Jerry’s show. His good cheer was a welcome tonic in choppy times. At long last, then, revelry, & rivalry, as Team Prez loves the Cubs.

Please share far and wide. ICE thrives in darkness. A spotlight on Kelvin could potentially halt his deportation.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump sends Elias Rodriguez to El Salvador. It'll be the perfect test case to erode constitutional rights and set the precedent that they can rendition US citizens to foreign countries as punishment.

Rightfully, the cuts to Medicaid (over 10M people will lose their health care) and the tax cuts for the rich have been the story of the disastrous Republican budget bill. But I read the whole thing. And there are some hidden rats in there you need to know about. 1/ A quick🧵

This is also shows just how weak the liberal media are right now. Cuomo's a sex creep funded by Republicans and governed to give Republicans power when he was in charge of the state but they just can't get that across to the primary electorate.

So, so proud of myself for giving money to this guy in 2025. The Ticketmaster seating chart is very bleak for the show I’m set to attend, though, & reports like these are beginning to roll in about the early performances. Like, dude, truly, if you can’t be classy, play the pretty songs & leave.

Candy’s JFK script is in his papers at the Herrick Library and he marked it UP - motivation questions, dialect pronunciations, dialogue rhythms, the works. He was a serious actor and could’ve had an entire second act as such.

What I get from the Biden's-decline book is a vivid picture of the self-reinforcing culture of denial/deflection that builds up within the closest circle around a frail president. So the takeaway isn't "Democrats must atone." It's that it's surely happening again, to a greater extreme, right now.

As a voter who dealt with Biden seeming too old and infirm over a year ago and now worries about vaccine access, health care supplies, an ever-militarized police, the decline of infrastructure, and a lot more, it’s nice to see the Democratic party’s focus is primarily on the part not still going on.
