We lost an American original today. RIP Jesse Colin Young, 83.
Jesse was a pioneer of folk rock. With his great voice and a band modestly named after him, he recorded wonderful tunes from the folk repertoire in smart arrangements, immortalizing Dino Valenti’s “Get Together,”anthem of the 60s.

Oh, nothing big, just J.D. Vance on Friday, spewing common explicitly Christian nationalist, white supremacist talking points to Laura Ingraham. I don't think people appreciate how much to the right even of Trump Vance is. Trump breezily embraces this garbage; Vance meditates on it.

The most blatant Presidential corruption I have ever seen—and I was born when Truman was President.
Business leaders can secure a one-on-one meeting with the president at Mar-a-Lago for $5 million, according to sources with direct knowledge of the meetings.
At a so-called candlelight dinner held recently, prospective Mar-a-Lago guests were asked to spend $1 million to reserve a seat
