In a change from political posts, here’s the video of Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs singing “Fast Car” at the Grammys last night.
She hasn’t performed in public for years and the song was first released thirty six years ago, but it’s still breathtaking.
Watching Luke Combs sing beside Tracy Chapman with such obvious reverence makes the difference between appropriation and appreciation crystal clear.
When someone engages source material in a spirit of love, it shows.
Count all the ways he centers her, not himself 👇🏾
Trump’s disappearing and reappearing gag order is a non-story as far as I’m concerned. Welcome to how the legal system works. Witness tampering is a chargeable crime whether or not there’s a gag order in place at the time, so who cares? It’s just not a big deal.
It still won't be cheap. We intend to vigorously fight back and demand justice. I'm not intimidated. I'm not scared. I went to war 4 times and am not one to back down from a fight. My hope is you would consider giving to my legal defense fund managed by @MarkSZaidEsq . (3)
This ludicrous pursuit asks for hundreds of millions of dollars over 3 tweets sent over a year and a half ago. This lawsuit is just one of many MAGA has been filing to silence those protecting American Democracy. I have built an incredible legal team to fight back pro bono. (2)
Some personal news and an ask for help. As part of MAGA’s efforts to silence those who challenge them, Trump’s former NSA Mike Flynn, who pled guilty to a felony count of “willfully and knowingly” making false statements to the FBI, has filed a defamation lawsuit against me. (1)
Even now, the entire media is claiming that Trump is way ahead of Biden in the polls. But if you look up the polling averages, you see that Biden and Trump are TIED in the polls.
The media feeds you lie after lie after lie after lie. All they do is LIE to you for effect.
Remember when the entire media claimed Georgia Republicans had given themselves the power to magically oust Fani Willis, when you could easily look up the legislation and see that they had specifically NOT given themselves this power?
The media feeds you lie after lie after lie.
Don Jr’s pick for press secretary is claiming I am a “disloyal harlot” and “going to hell.”
No mention though of Jr’s divorce, his girlfriend’s divorce from Gavin Newsom, or The Best Christian Ever screwing a porn star while his third wife was pregnant.
Apparently true Christianity is not based on belief in Christ as Lord, but rather belief in Donald Trump as Savior, King, and next President!
Repent and trust the 27-D chess, guys… personnel picks WILL be better this time!
Remember that the obstruction, jeopardization of our national security, and use of our troops as political pawns is not just contained to Tuberville - it's the whole of the GOP Senate.
After years, the People's Republic of China and the United States are restarting cooperation on counternarcotics.
In particular, we seek to reduce the flow of precursor chemicals and pill presses fueling the fentanyl crisis.
Democrats, brothers, sisters, friends: stop freaking out about Joe Manchin's retirement. The Democrats are better off without him, and he was never going to retain his seat anyway.
My latest in @thenation about why nobody should miss that guy.

There’s nothing accidental about the recent dysfunction in Congress — it’s exactly what the MAGA movement wants.
The more chaos they sow, the easier they believe it will be for them to take over.
In other words, they are counting on you to give up.
Cynicism is how they win.
