I have been a singer/songwriter for many years. I can sing anything, but my focus has been on jazz/standards and country and western music. I am the leader of Southwest Biscuit Co, a red hot Southern California Western swing band.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Violence is never the answer. But neither is silence.
The foundation of our democracy was forged in the crucible of debate & the idea that our voices are our most powerful tool.
History will remember those who spoke up & worked to protect our democracy and bend the arc of history towards justice.

Booker: Here’s the thing, I think you’re not going to be around long. I think this might be your last oversight hearing. This may the last time I have a hearing with you because I don’t think you’re long for this job.

Kash Patel’s desperate audition to keep his job must have been deeply disturbing to the professionals at the FBI who deserve a real Director, not a troll.

Political violence and threats are not the answer.
This is a watershed moment — we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion.
We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.

The next wannabe governor from Florida was spared prison, had his record sealed, and got not one, but three chances at redemption. Now he’s pushing a D.C. crime bill that would deny those same chances to young adults in the District. That screams “opportunities for me, but not for thee.”

They’re not coming for the most dangerous or violent. They are abducting people at their jobs, calling them in for fake check-ins to meet their daily quotas, and kidnapping US citizens.
They’re coming to tear apart our communities. The cruelty is the point.

Masked men in Border Patrol vests violently detained a father of three US Marines.
If the Department of Homeland Security wants their agents to be respected, they cannot act like masked vigilantes who violate the law.
