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.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Commerce Secretary (and Wall Street vampire) Howard Lutnick pretends not to understand Econ 101:
♦️When (imported) Fiji Water hikes its price by 20%, (domestic) Poland Springs will hike its price by 15%.
♦️If it didn't, it would be taken over...

Lutnick: "Foreign goods may become a little more expensive, but domestic goods do not. So if you're looking at Poland Springs water vs Fiji Water, the Poland Springs is not gonna be more expensive. For the first time in your lives you're gonna actually think about Americans who make the products."

Hey, can I share some historical context with you about “race-baiter” Ebrahim Rasool?
When I see a South African who’s a little older, I always check what they were doing before 1990. 🧐
Found something surprising: As a boy, Rasool and his family were expelled from District Six.

When we unionized a few years ago, a lot of peanut gallery types on social media wanted to tell me it would be the end of Wired.
Hope it’s now clear (thanks mostly to our insanely talented and hardworking politics team) that it does not work that way.
Unions are good.

This is bad. From the NYT story on Biden's commutations: Another recipient was Michael T. Conahan, a former Pennsylvania judge who was sentenced to more than 17 years in prison in 2011 for wrongfully imprisoning juveniles in two for-profit detention centers in exchange for financial kickbacks.
