Beast of a building coming up on Park Ave

Gretsch guitar, Elliot Easton model, lovely but my Japanese version had a very thin neck.

In 1996-8 I had a Thunderace YZF Yamaha, it was fabulous. #YZFThunderace

My first The Who final tour was in 1989. Great gigs, Simon Phillips on drums, I got to stand next to the drum riser at NEC and Wembley #TheWho

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

El Barrio still has a few empty lots.

When does the winning start?

Summer in the city is nearly upon us. #pjclarks #Nyc #NYCStreet

Back in January, I reported on DOGE entering an agency system, exporting the data, OPM server info left open to the public, and someone signing in from a foreign country using a DOGE account. Almost identical to what the Whistleblower reported to NPR this week www.muellershewrote.com/p/a-fork-in-...

Morning in El Barrio #NYC

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Thank you all. Clem loved what he was doing. He lived his dream

I was thinking that none of those numbers made sense, but holy fuck this is insane

What a shitty day - life is short.

Unkind men so often whither in the face of unkindness.

Devon Archer defrauded the Oglala Sioux, in one of the poorest U.S. counties, of $60 million -- used to prop up his businesses, buy jewelry, etc. He's also a former Hunter Biden partner who flipped to aid Trump, who's now pardoned him Just outrageous nativenewsonline.net/currents/tru...

Trump remains highly popular... in Russia. They are using Trump's image to promote military service "Victory is near”.

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

It’s such a stupid lie because it’s such a small town.

Houthi War Plans Signal group: Looks like the Office of the Director of National Intelligence needs to conduct a 'national security damage assessment' and report it to Congress. Except it also looks like Tulsi Gabbard was part of the Signal comms. Recusal? Resign? Here's the relevant statute:

I’ve said this before and been wrong before but Trump might just lead us bleeding and broke to Bernie and some fair taxation policy, healthcare and lifting the cap on SS contributions #Trumprecession

"If Lutnick's Democratic predecessor, Gina Raimondo, took such a step -- urging Americans to buy stock in a company led by Joe Biden’s top campaign contributor -- it seems likely that more than a few congressional Republicans would call for her resignation..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Resting Red Special #RedSpecial

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suggested allowing bird flu to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Veterinary scientists said that would be inhumane, dangerous and have enormous economic consequences.

LOL

This is the final step on the road to authoritarian fascism. If the President can rule by decree and cannot be scrutinized or reviewed by the other two branches, then this experiment in democracy is done.

My wife doesn’t cook very often but when she does, she nails it. Taiwanese pork over rice.

Is any Democratic senator circulating a petition to get signatures of ten Dem senators (20% of the conference) to force a meeting of the conference? Will anyone step forward to challenge Schumer, and can some number of senators insist at such a meeting on a vote on whether to replace the leader?

👇🏽🔥

The eventual fate of the GOP

Chuck Schumer has a book tour starting this week. It would be a damn shame if people showed up to let him know how they feel about his capitulation on the short-term spending bill passed by the Senate Friday afternoon. @schumer.senate.gov
