A not-great photo (my specialty) of Mark Lanegan opening for Nick Cave at the Paramount in 2014. Lanegan joined Cave towards the end of his set for "The Weeping Song." Cave afterward: "The great Mark Lanegan." R.I.P. to one of Seattle's most talented singers-songwriters. Gone three years today.

Rep McCormick (Roswell—safe red) can’t gaslight his constituents—but they need to wake up. He won’t do a damn thing to stop Trump. A woman asks about Trump declaring himself “king” & what he will do to stop him. His smugness is off the charts. This is the guy who said hungry kids should get jobs.

Victoria DeLano is one of thousands of federal probationary employees fired in recent days by the new Department of Government Efficiency team. At the time of her firing, she said she was the only Office of Civil Rights investigator based in Alabama. www.al.com/educationlab...

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

“If FBI agents who are just doing their jobs aren’t free of the risk of political prosecution, then who is? In a country run by a president who has accumulated all power into his own hands, you never know who might run afoul of the leader’s good graces.” joycevance.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

“His goal is to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and let all the outsiders pay,” Lutnick said to Jesse Watters on Fox News Wednesday, adding that the president’s planned “External Revenue Service” will fund the government with tariffs from the rest of the world.

WATCH: “What are you going to do to rein in the megalomaniac in the White House?” An @reprichmccormick town hall in a red GEORGIA district erupts in cheers - then boos loudly as he tries to invoke Biden and both-sides Trump’s actions. Full video: www.instagram.com/reel/DGUf45s...

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

The panel of vaccine experts were supposed to hold their first meeting under the Trump administration in late February. It's not clear when that meeting will now take place.

History tells us of so many who fail to act, hesitate, or freeze and then pay the price. They sit back in shock or disbelief until it’s too late. They don’t rise to the moment. I have news for you. You are there right now. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

After shifting blame for the war on Ukraine, Trump has made it clear he will be Putin's puppet on the global stage. I break down the latest developments on the Ukraine war and explain why Trump has shown his true colors. Watch here: youtu.be/B_xXSaFsE-M

"In less than a month’s time, Rubio has presided over America’s willing abdication as leader of the free world. It’s a shameful legacy that cuts against everything he once proclaimed to stand for."

Today is the Day of the National Emblem of Ukraine. The Ukrainian trident is a symbol of strength, independence and thirst for freedom! This symbol unites Ukrainians who defend our sovereignty and future.

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.” Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.
