Dave was one of my earliest musical friends and companions - his situation now is so sad, and I'm sharing this in case any of you might remember his work, and wish to help.
Dave Williams, lead guitarist in Mellow Candle, now suffers from advanced Alzheimers, and is profoundly deaf. He lost his partner just recently, and Alison (lead singer and his former wife) has set up a GoFundMe so that we can help out a bit - pls help if you can!

For more than 54 days the House has been closed—no votes, no hearings, no negotiations, and for most of our GOP colleagues no where to be found.

And, where were they last night on our first night back? ⬇️

Remember: no matter who is in the Oval Office, you can always fight for change at the state and local levels.

Just look at New Mexico.

JD Vance is a reminder that Christian nationalism isn’t about faith—it’s about power.

It sure seems like JD Vance doesn't give a sh-t about his family

Letting 42 million Americans go without food this weekend—half of whom are children—is WRONG and a CHOICE.

The funds are there, but the White House is trying to leverage hungry kids for a political agenda. Mr. President, American lives are not a political game, and we are not here to play.

House leadership seems more focused on shielding the Trump Admin from accountability than actually doing their job.

Speaker, it’s time to get back to work: bring back the House, end the shutdown, swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva, and finally give the Epstein survivors the justice they deserve!

🚨 HEY NYC — This clip alone is completely disqualifying. Absolutely humiliating stuff from @andrewcuomo, refusing to condemn Trump for going after NY AG Tish James.

A vote for him is very clearly a vote for Trump.

GS: “Did Homan keep the $50,000 bribe?”

VANCE: “I don’t even know what you’re talking about.” 🤔

GS: “You didn’t answer the Q… We’ll be right back.”

GS gets fed up with Vance’sabsurd lying and gaslighting — and eventually cuts him off mid-sentence.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation
