@Bernin/@LD, If you all see this, could you add Tennessee Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson to our “Progressive Candidates” List on the right? It will be under “State and Local.” Thanks! obf and Benny. 🙂
You got it 👍
TY!
My take on the Nest. 🙂
Thanks, Orl! We’ll have HH later at Benny’s Bar!
DFMI will also get involved. But I think Bowman can weather the storm as he is an incumbent. Problem is the DCCC is not likely to help him even though he is an incumbent.
Here’s hoping Bowman kicks some major RW butt. That might send a message to the braindead DCCC.
From Ryan Grim,

RIP Tony Bennett, a true collaborating artist.

Lady Gaga blew me out of the room with this album. Not surprised she had no problems singing with Tony Bennett.
🙂 🙂 !
A great jazz singer/crooner and human being. He went peacefully surrounded by love, and he was ready. 🙂
Highly unlikely she can win in deep red Tenn but good for her to take on awful Blackburn
I have a CIL in western TN who will vote for her in a heartbeat. She’s a long shot but people are pissed off in this country, and they’re not all stupid down here.
I don’t think Trone is the favorite. Alsobrooks looks like a strong candidate. He’s terrible.
Just so I understand, you’re saying Trone is terrible. Looking at article, I would agree.
It’s a disappointment that MD Democrats can’t field decent candidates at the Senate level.
Yes
Man, she and Prince were great playing together. 🙂
Benny’s Bar and Buds open for HH.
🙂 🙂
obf, here’s your boy. How’d he do? Damned good, in my opinion.
He is one quick study! Thanks, Aint! 👏👏✊. I voted for him cos of his age, and his stand on guns and violence in our culture. I am very proud! He will get more of his generation elected, and we need them. ☮️👏🙂
Yep, we need them. I’ve been sending him a lil 1/2 sandwich every month.
DWT did a hopeful piece on the young voters yesterday (although he has a very negative view of our boy).

Read it, Aint. Now who do you mean, “our boy”? I’m on the email list for Blue America. Guess they missed my actual age. LOL. 🙂
On Thursday I attended a meeting of the AGFP (Atlanta Grandmothers for Peace) at the beautiful home with beautiful artwork and beautifully catered. Our first in person meeting in a long time. One of the agenda items was to hear the experiences of one of the grandmothers who was arrested in a No To Cop City demonstration. Here’s a little idea of what’s going on re Cop City.
I’m glad to see the Grandmas out there. The citizens do not want the project yet authoritarian officials are overruling their wishes.
Saw Here Lies Love (the Imelda Marcos disco Broadway musical from David Byrne and Fatboy Slim) this afternoon. Really good
That’s an interesting artistic pairing, jcb: Byrne and Fatboy Slim. Now, what’s so fascinating about Imelda Marcos? I was around when she and Ferdinand ruled the Philippines. The big deal with them was he was a dictator, and she had a ginormous shoe collection. How was the air quality in the Big Apple?
this one falls into a comment i posted a few days ago,espically the last block
