20 Sept 1975, 'Fame' gave David Bowie his first No.1 in the US. The song was co-written with John Lennon. Lennon's voice is heard towards the end of the song repeating: "Fame, Fame, Fame" from a fast track through a regular track to a slow track, before Bowie finished it off. #Bowieforever

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake,
don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year.
Don’t bother.
Please.
And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, was investigated for allegedly taking $50K from undercover agents seeking contracts. DOJ found no wrongdoing and closed the case. White House calls it politically motivated.

Not at all surprising, but wow.
Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.

Trump has repeatedly flouted a congressionally passed ban on the app to give more time for negotiations over ownership.

Ted Cruz said in a senate hearing a few years ago that J6 was a “terrorist attack” on the Capitol and took it all back in a groveling interview on Tucker Carlson 24 hours later. So I’m not all that excited he defended the First Amendment today. Let’s see what he says next week.
