What Irish luck to be passing through Cannon Beach on 3.17 and catch John Gorka performing in an intimate setting. Music, as always, was wonderful, the storytelling touching, and the smile infectious. Perhaps one day I'll catch @johngorka and @lucykaplansky together.

BREAKING: LOL! President Obama brutally MOCKS Trump for melting down over his Cheesecake Factory joke and then goes right for the jugular.
He really is the best to ever do it...
"That was the interesting thing about how the administration responded to the speech I gave the other day. They did not dispute what I said about them being directly responsible for rising prices. They did not argue with that," Obama said at a rally in Georgia for Senator Jon Ossoff.
"They did not deny tariffs were contributing to higher costs for families. They didn't say anything about that. I accused this administration, based on the facts, that they were engaging in unprecedented levels of corruption!" he continued. "They didn't say anything about that."
"The President wasn't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison. That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory comments," Obama said with a grin. "He took great umbrage. He said, I didn't understand the work of the artisans in the White House."
"And they mobilized, this was, I mean, it's all crazy, but this was the really crazy part. They mobilized a whole-of-government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke!" he went on.
"The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy," Obama continued. "The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation and reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory."
"No, y'all didn't see this? This really happened!" said an incredulous Obama. "And the Treasury Secretary, he happens to be a former hedge fund manager worth half a billion dollars, and he was out there in front of the Cheesecake Factory, explaining how he ordered the delicious French dip cheeseburger instead of the egg rolls."
"Now, look, this is not something I ever thought of," he added. "Like, I inherited this major financial crisis. I never called my Treasury Secretary, Tim Geithner, said, man, you got to go to Arby's. Order roast beef."
Trump's deranged response to the original joke has served as a potent reminder of just how little he actually cares about the American people. We are suffering from the economic fallout from his tariffs and failed Iran War, gas prices are spiraling out of control, and rather than address these multiplying crises, Trump would rather attack Obama and whine about a harmless joke.
"This is what I mean when I say these are not serious people," added Obama. "They don't have solutions to actual problems, so they'd rather have the media and you talking about the Cheesecake Factory. That's the game they've been playing for the last two years. Just keep throwing distractions out there, attacks, fabrications, phony outrage, and hope that you won't notice that your bills are higher and your life is tougher."
"Except that okie-doke will not work this time, Atlanta," said the former President. "Because you know your prices are still up. Because you pay your utility bills, you've seen what those are like. You know it's still hard to pay rent and pay for child care and pay for health insurance.
"And you know we need serious people who are listening to your concerns, who see you and care about you and have real plans to make your life better. People like Jon Ossoff, people like Keisha Lance Bottoms!" roared Obama.
Please ❤️ and share if you can't wait to see Trump melt down over these new remarks!

We are facing a crisis of impunity. That's why we built The Rule of Law Project — to investigate unlawful conduct by federal officials, and work with state and local prosecutors to hold them to account.
Watch former DOJ prosecutor Mark Blumberg and human rights leader Brad Adams launch this critical accountability initiative on MSNOW with Nicolle Wallace.

Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

So JD was conspiring to install Bolsonaro? The Supreme Court of Brazil is opening an investigation into Rockbridge Network, a donor group Vance co-founded in 2019. So hello Brazil, the US was blatantly interfering with your election. Time to subpoena JD to answer a few questions.

BREAKING: MAGA provocateurs James O’Keefe and Cam Higby have been hit with FELONY charges in Minnesota!
They allegedly impersonated REAL voters, dressed up as Muslims and tried to manufacture an election fraud scandal.
The irony is absolutely staggering.
These are the same people who have spent years screaming about election fraud, and now THEY are the ones facing felony election-related charges.
You cannot make this stuff up.
Hold them accountable!

Buttigieg: Folks say, “I'm not sure I can put food on the table, I need help.” And they're busy defending the honor of whoever did the interior decoration of The Cheesecake Factory. That's what's on their mind right now.
It's not even that they're just focused on the wrong things... It's that they created these problems.

It is a test of whether American leadership will defend the principles of sovereignty, democratic choice, and accountability—or normalize the ambitions of an authoritarian ruler.
