I've said this before and I'll say it again: Democrats can't hold official committee hearings, but they absolutely can gather in a room and invite people to answer questions and stream it live and invite the press to cover it.
NEW: Jim Jordan and House GOPers refused to let the American public hear directly from Jack Smith, per his attorney.

This is my Spotify wrap.
Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

A Spotify Wrap
And guess what, I still know who my favorite artists are.
Spotify is an awful company, there are better ways to listen to and stream music. (Also, you should pay for your entertainment so long as we live in a capitalist society)

When I think “I’m only making music, it’s not that important,” I need to read this.
Virtually every institution I engage with regularly—the university, healthcare—is falling to pieces in front of my eyes.
But live music? It continues to deliver everything its social contract has always promised: community, joy, a vision of a better world.
Go to the gig.

Pete Hegseth is the poster child for incompetent, entitled, white men being in charge of anything.
Why is he not in prison, or at the very least fired?

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t feel as safe as an American under this administration. And I’m a cis, white, middle-aged male.
I cannot fathom how it is for the rest of you.

Clearly, the least informed member of Congress is the Speaker of the House.
RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war?
MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not going to prejudge any of that. I was pretty busy yesterday. I didn't follow a lot of the news.

You mean a conspiracy driven podcaster with no law enforcement background wasn’t a great pick for FBI director? I mean who could’ve predicted this?
A leaked 115 page report by current & former FBI personnel describes the bureau under Kash Patel as a “rudderless ship” & says he is “in over his head,” lacking the experience & bearing needed to be an effective FBI director—
