I am 52. Raised on Broadway musical albums, Steve Goodman, Gordon Lightfoot, Harry Chapin and Jim Croce; is it any wonder I grew up anti-fascist and know music like this, exist and need to be dusted off and shared.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

People. If anyone else did this near a school, they would be arrested immediately. This is insanity.

Speaker Johnson just declared the House will remain in recess all next week. This will mark a full month off; the chamber has not been in session since September 19.

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

I think we should ban people who get their politics from streamers from social media and possibly also withdraw the franchise

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

The last day is hard. I never knew our pittie had so much love. We had friends stopping over all day until 8pm, when we said our final goodbye.

Fascism yes Fascism. This is what it looks like people.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 2d

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.
