I've been wondering where the protest songs were. Of course it's The Boss who steps up. #jerseyproud
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

One of the ways I try to stay sane during all the horror, sadness and fury is working out. Jump rope HIITs and regular jumping have become some of my favorites. (Thank you Crossropes) Last week I hit a huge milestone. Who knew I could be so bouncy?

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah.
It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

Fellow UCLA grads join me in speaking out against this bullshit fascist propaganda being staged at our alma mater.
Hey, fellow UC grads/CA residents:

2. Contact your state assemblymembers: www.assembly.ca.gov/assemblymemb...
Ask them why Hegseth gets to film propaganda at a UC location. /former Assembly staffer:

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

This is a brilliant idea! Come on Dems, let's go.
Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:
Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president
TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.

I will vote for the Democratic Presidential candidate who promises to expand the Supreme Court. This court's corruption and blatant ignoring of the Constitution is sickening.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court on a 6-3 ruling just UNDID a federal judge’s ruling to prevent stops based on your race.
SCOTUS will rule on anything but releasing the Epstein files. SCOTUS no longer serves Americans or abides by our constitution. We need a complete re-work of our government.
