Praying for all those affected by the two dozen tornadoes that spread death and destruction through numerous Southern and Midwest states 🇺🇸.
"Early reports indicate the storms were historic events in several states including Tennessee and Kentucky."

We finished the tenth week of our trial against Donald Trump and the Trump Organization.
Donald Trump can keep trying to distract from reality, but it's the truth that matters, and the truth is on our side.⤵️
Happy 74th Birthday to Tom Waits.
Tom Waits - composer of the show’s title theme, 'Way Down In The Hole' - agreed that #TheWire’s producers could make use of the song provided they first let him see the show. Videotapes were promptly dispatched to the Waits household, followed by weeks of agonizing silence. When the execs finally got the courage to give the legendary singer-songwriter a call, Mr Waits explained that he'd received the cassettes but he couldn't play them because he didn't know how to operate his VCR. "My wife knows how to use it and she'll be back in a couple of days," Waits continued. Two days later, a release was signed. (IMDb)

I have spent an enormous amount of my own money fighting Donald Trump for almost a decade now.
I have never asked or accepted a single penny in donations and never will.
All I ask is for you to please watch this 4 minute video and RETWEET IT.

A Senator makes $174,000/year.
So a first year corporate lawyer makes about a third more than our top public servants.
We are asking for corruption by underpaying our public servants this badly.
“Many Americans believe that drivers pay the full cost of the roads they use through gas taxes and other user fees. That has never been true, and it is less true now than at any other point in modern times.”
