MASSIVE RIFF MONDAYS: “SHOW ME HOW TO LIVE”—a live monster! I wrote the riffs during RATM’s Evil Empire sessions, but they didn’t fit then. Years later, they found a home in this Audioslave banger. Fun fact: the video was inspired by Vanishing Point (1971), a favorite of dear friend Chris Cornell.

Trump’s Tariff Tax is going to hurt manufacturing, affect jobs, and drive up prices on working families who are already struggling to make ends meet. That’s a lose-lose-lose.

I finally gave in and watched the whole exchange, and sadly I recommend it if you want to understand what happened. The transcript below does not convey how much Trump and Vance constantly talked and shouted over Zelensky. And Trump’s… segue into other topics at the end should be heard.

WSJ editorial board: "But as with the war, Mr. Zelensky didn’t start this Oval Office exchange. Was he supposed to tolerate an extended public denigration of the Ukrainian people, who have been fighting a war for survival for three years?"

Trump wanted to treat Gavin Newsom the same way as Zelensky when he flew out there. But Gavin met him on the tarmac and bodied him. And that was that. Because face to face, man to man, no bros around to back him up, Trump is the biggest coward on earth.

Their next move to cover up their failures, from Republicans in Congress and the Trump Admin, is to try and change the way that things are measured. Watch.

Governor Walz has it right. I miss hearing his plain, common sense talk.

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

The origin story behind yesterday began in 2019 when Zelensky refused Trump’s illegal demand that he investigate Joe Biden.

Protestors met JD Vance in Vermont when he went to vacation there today. This is a good one:

TOM MORELLO & FRIENDS (2/7) “An unforgettable celebration of rock & rebellion. Morello proved he remains one of the most dynamic & innovative guitarists in rock history, blending activism, virtuosity, and pure stage presence into a show that left no fist unraised & no voice unheard.”

MASSIVE RIFF MONDAYS brings you “LET’S GET THE PARTY STARTED”, my monstrous collaboration with Bring Me The Horizon. Recorded remotely on 3 continents during lockdown. I directed the video as a salute to THE FANS for their ceaseless energy and inspiration in a live setting.

It’s THEATRICAL THURSDAYS! Each week, a new film to watch, ponder, and discuss. Today’s recommendation is THE MOON IS DOWN, the 1943 film adaptation of the John Steinbeck book. When Fascism comes suddenly to a small town people find out who they really are and what they’re really made of.

A reminder for these times.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

The richest man in the world and Donald Trump are ripping the rug out from our Veterans and forcing the staff that care for our heroes out the door. This does NOT live up to our responsibility to take care of those who served us.
