A bass guitar-playing lover of movies & music. I also enjoy playing drums. I think of others, so just deal with it. I really need to get to more live gigs, but at least I got to see Oasis and Radiohead this year.

Women aren’t just refusing to “shut up” — we’re dismantling the whole playbook. Misogyny is the regime’s spine, and women organizing in huge numbers is how democracies survive. From DC to Tennessee, we’re feeding neighbors, flipping districts, and breaking their script. Hell no.

Lutnick demonstrates why he's called Nutlick: "The greatest cabinet ever for the greatest president ever. I can't be more proud of how you did it, sir. You created the greatest cabinet. It is a joy to be at this table."
