Today I called the Office of Senator Chris Van Hollen, encouraging him to run for Senate Majority Leader, and you can too. If you live in Maryland, I think your call is going to be even more effective. Let's do this!

@mynameisjro a candidate who “underperformed” according to the nytimes Daily Podcast (insane propaganda that pretended like Schumer’s ability to allocate funds wasn’t a factor)

[Rostam @matsoR]

Chuck Schumer secured 10 million for Haley Stevens, a woman who went on to betray the Democratic Party. Schumer can’t be trusted. His approval ratings among Americans reside in the low 20s.

He’s unfit for Senate Majority Leader.

You absolutely love to see it. 🩵

From being a Columbia University encampment organizer to becoming the next Congresswoman for Columbia University's district. 💗

chris van hollen flew down to el salvador to get proof of life for his constituent kilmar garcia when the kidnappings were happening. we need fighters to lead at this critical moment. van hollen is also closer to the democratic base on his approach to foreign policy.

🔵 Scott Colom won’t commit to backing Chuck Schumer as Senate Majority Leader, stating he wants someone who understands rural America

[‏ً @justjargons]

Schumer refused to endorse the Democrat who has become the most popular mayor in the most important city in the country—in his own home state—because of Schumer’s support for Netanyahu. Schumer should not be Majority Leader.

[Karim is reading A Farewell to Arms @shift_in2_turbo]

The DNC is forcing the American people to accept Jeffries & Schumer in the same way it tried to force the people to accept Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton.

[The Millennial Snowflake 🇵🇸 @Teh_Snowflake]

Hakeem Jeffries is a Haley Stevens Democrat.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

[snow @Cirnose]

now that the republicans have been defeated, we can focus on the true enemy: liberals

My song “Back of a Truck” started as a beat I made and named after the Instagram account that shares the same name. In this video I break down my process, how I use Soundshifter, working with Daniel Aged and Amir Yaghmai, and a 1980s cassette deck.

[Rostam @matsoR]

“Hardy ft Clairo” started with a sample from the movie Day for Night (1973). In this video I breakdown the beatmaking process, and shine a light on working with some of my collaborators on the song: Clairo, Henry Solomon, and Hamilton Berry.

“I know the world will come apart.” The melody, chords, and lyrics all came to me at once. I wasn’t sure where these words came from but I think sometimes the beauty of writing a song is that you trust the words as they’re coming out of your mouth.

This song is fun to play because the pedal steel is in from the first note. Usually pedal steel comes in and out of a song, I gave myself the challenge of writing a pedal steel part that runs throughout the whole song. When we started talking about doing a performance with La Blogoteque I thought it would be amazing to bring a Pedal Steel outside, plug it in to power somehow and have the rest of us acoustic.

“In A River” is one of my favorite songs but it didn’t come out on an album. It was the first song I wrote after my record Half-Light and it was the first song I wrote on a mandolin. It’s about a town in Massachusetts that does not have a river. It’s actually about a beach that fills up and empties out with water.

In this one-take we got to capture a piece of Paris, a piece of sunset, the full song, and the dance of director Clara Griot weaving between the four of us on the roof.

Ten years later, me and Hamilton Leithauser are hitting the road together playing ‘I Had A Dream That You Were Mine’ with a rocking band and some special guests we love.

You’ll also get solo songs from each of us, so we’re calling it The Joint Tour. See you in November —
