Remember when Trump sued ABC, Meta, X, and Paramount, and they all agreed to settle for millions of dollars?
Well, that money was supposed to go to Trump’s future presidential library fund—except that fund has been dissolved with no public accounting of where the money went.
If these payments were labeled “charitable contributions,” the corporations could even write them off on their taxes. That’s why @SenWarren, @SenBlumenthal, and I are demanding answers!
This week’s #FridayFeeling#guitar post goes out to the one and only, award-winning Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top.
While strolling through Helsinki, Finland a few years ago, Billy met a busking musician who loaned him his guitar. Billy serenaded the street with BB King’s "The Thrill Is Gone”, totally unbothered by the public. Amazing! At home would’ve been a very different story!
I’ve known Billy since 1973. He’s a phenomenal guitarist and stand-up, down-to-earth gentleman. Have a great weekend, everyone!

VOTEVETS SETS A RED LINE: Congress must stop ducking its constitutional duty. We expect all lawmakers to support the bipartisan War Powers resolution on Iran. We will hold Republicans AND Democrats accountable who do not.
Trumps White House said I could not attend the all white farmers meeting because I am a black farmer, and some mess about DEI. No other President had any issues meeting with me going back as far as President Jimmy Carter. Trump administration is racist. I said What I said!! Amen
In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help: https://t.co/I2Md26PycU
What has unfolded in Minneapolis this past month betrays our most basic values as Americans. We are not a nation that guns down our citizens in the street. We are not a nation that allows our citizens to be brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights. We are not a nation that tramples the 4th Amendment and tolerates our neighbors being terrorized. The people of Minnesota have stood strong — helping community members in unimaginable circumstances, speaking out against injustice when they see it, and holding our government accountable to the people. Minnesotans have reminded us all what it is to be American, and they have suffered enough at the hands of this Administration. Violence and terror have no place in the United States of America, especially when it’s our own government targeting American citizens.
No single person can destroy what America stands for and believes in, not even a President, if we — all of America — stand up and speak out. We know who we are. It's time to show the world. More importantly, it's time to show ourselves.
Now, justice requires full, fair, and transparent investigations into the deaths of the two Americans who lost their lives in the city they called home. Jill and I are sending strength to the families and communities who love Alex Pretti and Renee Good as we all mourn their senseless deaths.
Non-masked MN National Guard are out handing out hot chocolate, coffee and donuts to protesters. One simple act has de-escalated the situation and helped gain the trust of people. See the difference between professional soldiers and the pretend tough guys in CBP and ICE?
TJ Sabula, my constituent & a UAW worker, has been suspended after Trump flipped HIM off and said "F*ck you" to him.
This is unacceptable. NEVER believe MAGA when they cry about the 1st amendment.
Since Trump can't fire me, I'll say it:
Donald Trump is a pedophile protector.
Sen. Mitch McConnell:
“I have yet to hear from this administration a single thing we need from Greenland that this sovereign people is not already willing to grant us.”
