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.

The United States has no checks and balances. The SCOTUS is corrupt, our congress is useless and Republicans are too cowardly to do their jobs.

We have committed war crimes and violated international laws under the Trump administration.

It’s pure insanity. We’re no longer a super power, we suck.

"Vance wrote, 'You don’t get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the US because you live in a palace in Caracas.'

OK? But apparently you do get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the US if you’re a foreign head of state with ties to Trump’s inner circle..."

This is superb, from Sen. Kelly.
Please watch.

Insider note: First sentence of Kelly's presentation is uncannily powerful echo of my favorite TV ad ever. "Imported from Detroit," 15 yrs ago

Serendipity? Embedded memory by Kelly people? Perfect for both.

Trump has totally blocked the #EpsteinsFiles release. His high-placed sycophants took care of everything.

This topic was already talked about during his 1st term, trump also blocked everything and Epstein "committed suicide".

"The Weather Service employee whose job it was to make sure those warnings got traction—Paul Yura, the long-serving meteorologist in charge of “warning coordination”—had recently taken an unplanned early retirement amid cuts pushed by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency."

Climate change is fueling catastrophic floods, but Trump's administration is cutting the tools we need to fight back.

NOAA labs, NASA satellites, FEMA grants & local warning systems are on the chopping block.

Result? Communities will be caught unprepared when disaster strikes.
