Trump sues US taxpayers for $10 billion, then decides whether US taxpayers have to pay him the $10 billion. I guess the billions he made overseas in the past year selling out America to his foreign business partners isn't enough.

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.

Marc has warned about Trump's efforts to destroy democracy for almost 10 years now. He has been right every single time. He's right this time.
The only thing that can stop Trump are free and fair elections in 2026. In the last two weeks he has suggested they be canceled and the ballot boxes seized.

Is it just me, or does it seem as though the people who are usually talking about a rise in antisemitism seem to be relatively quiet on this specific instance?

Classic move from the Corrupt Dictator Playbook. Putin & his FSB cronies pulled this exact same fraud when they seized Yukos oil co. from jailed oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky.
The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

Been thinking a lot about the 2025 Blue Jays run & how it unexpectedly lifted my spirits in a dark time.
Speaking of good lads, I’m not sure how my spirits would have stayed afloat without the most beautiful boys of summer, the 2025 Toronto Blue Jays. I’m feeling more appreciation for the joy of this season with every passing day.
