BREAKING: new racist Republican groupchat has been leaked to Politico featuring texts from Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel.

Ingrassia’s texts include vile pro-Nazi & racist messages targeting Black people, Chinese people, and Indian people.

Yeah I'm curious how much "Italian program" representation we'll have by the end of the GP series! I've heard of at least a couple other GODFATHER programs... to name just one possibility. #GPFRA #GPFigure

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

From a music perspective, one takeaway from #GPFRA is that the Hans Zimmer programs just keep on coming! (Even if the ones we saw last weekend were DUNE-free.) Come read this I wrote about The Zimmer Effect last year...

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

What can you do

Find a protest today and show up tomorrow.

Bring a sign, and have fun with it.
Wear a costume if you have one.
We suggest inflatables ;-)

And remember no matter what the SS does
Remain calm and peaceful

But you can mock them relentlessly
