J Coltrane's more than brilliant allies! Elvin Jones, Jimmy Garrison & McCoy Tyner

are the words "i got you babe" in these replies

NEW LETTER TO ACTING AG TODD BLANCHE: Since the beginning of this Administration, President Donald Trump has directed US DOJ to engage in a campaign of political retribution against his perceived enemies. Calling this investigation a fishing expedition is actually too generous. If your commitment to rooting out corruption were serious, the enormous resources that you have poured into this investigation looking for a crime that does not exist would be focused elsewhere. You need only train your attention on the open-air corruption market that the White House has become. Here are just a few examples:

House staffers just touring the minimum-security prison camp where Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell is being held. @RepRobertGarcia tells OutFront “it looks like a pristine park,” and “not a single person could actually explain” why Maxwell was transferred there despite being a convicted sex offender.

🚨 WOW! Former FBI Agent Michael Feinberg exposes Kash Patel's massive corruption. He confirms Patel invented a fake advisory team, filling it with a "rogue's gallery" of bitter, fired agents. Trump's FBI is paying them massive bonuses for personal investigations!

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “It was supposed to open Friday, it is not open because Trump says he does not want it open. When this bridge does open some day, if Trump ever lets it open, you should know that there is a competing bridge a little way down the river, a privately-owned very old very congested toll bridge that will likely LOSE some of its traffic…because of competition. It will lose some of its traffic to this pretty, brand new bridge that has just been built. The family that operates the competing old bridge, earlier this year, made a $1 million donation to Donald Trump’s super pac. In short order, a member of that family then got an in person meeting with Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The White House and the pac say that was just a coincidence…but after the million dollar donation, he gets this meeting, and then the SAME day of the meeting, Howard Lutnick calls President Donald Trump and then Trump suddenly discovers new supposedly trade-related reasons why he’s now suddenly against this bridge, even though previously he has been for it.” 🤦‍♀️

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “Headline: ‘Donald Trump can’t open the Strait of Hormuz, so instead he’s blocking the Strait of Detroit.’ It’s a headline from The Globe and Mail, the Canadian newspaper. The big beautiful new bridge that Trump is not allowing us to use, is a bridge that crosses the Detroit River. It goes from…Detroit…to…Ontario. Canada fully financed and paid for this bridge. It is ready to be opened, it will be the biggest U.S. border crossing in Canada, it will be one of the most important routes for trade in the entire world, the single most important one with one of our two most important trading partners, Canada, but Trump won’t let anybody use it, even though it’s ready, ready to be driven on.” 🤦‍♀️

🚨 NOT GUILTY. The regime zip-tied Brad Lander for a peaceful protest and tried to force a plea deal. He demanded a trial instead—and crushed the DOJ in just 24 hours. See how this massive free speech battle was won: 👇 dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-re…

🚨 BOMBSHELL! MS NOW confirms Trump's FBI Director Kash Patel used over $1M in taxpayer funds to illegally reward a secret "Payback Squad" of loyalist agents. Rep. Raskin reveals they were paid to carry out unlawful orders and cover up Patel's misbehavior!

I am grateful to Canada for its new package of sanctions against more than 160 entities linked to Russia’s shadow fleet. Today, during our meeting with @MarkJCarney, we discussed strengthening sanctions pressure on Russia. And it is important that such decisions are being made. We also discussed formats of defense cooperation, Canada’s participation in financing the production of Ukrainian drones under the Danish model, and cooperation in the energy sector. Importantly, Canada will continue to provide Ukraine with energy support and assistance in recovery. I thank Mark for his strong position during the G7–Ukraine meeting and for all the support for our people. We truly have strong allies and the Prime Minister’s significant personal engagement in supporting Ukraine. And this is highly valuable.

The leaked Iran deal that is floating around suggests that this is a pretty simple transaction: we are paying Iran billions to reopen the Strait. Period. Stop. That's probably why they are refusing to release it.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump treated a sovereign nation’s natural heritage like an empty beach for a $4.7B luxury playground. Now, tens of thousands of Albanians have shut down the capital in a massive revolt. See the fallout: 👇 dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-re…

Kaja Kallas: ❗️"We have also now verified reports that the Chinese military has been training Russian military personnel to fight in Ukraine. We are carefully assessing the implications."

Corporate America has turned its back on democracy and bowed down to Trump. When, in the future, it once agains becomes convenient for them to say they celebrate democracy we should not believe them. In the meantime, we are on our own.

"Oh, Todd Blache will never go to prison," Really? It took four years to indict and convict Nixon's crooked attorney general, John Mitchell. In all that time,... people said he'd get away with it,... that he would, "Never be arrested." In the end,... he was arrested, tried, convicted and sent to prison.

🚨Meet Adam Duane Pettibone of Boise, Idaho — who goes by “ForMob Adam” on Facebook, where he posted AI images of Trump as a Revolutionary War hero, used Trump’s mugshot as a profile pic, and shared anti-LGBTQ memes. On May 5th, the Wilder Police Department pulled Pettibone over in Greenleaf, Idaho. Officers conducted a lawful search of his vehicle and arrested him on felony and misdemeanor drug charges. During that search, police also discovered materials depicting the s-xual abuse of children. Following an investigation, Pettibone was charged with TWO felony counts of visual representation of s-xual abuse of children. Pettibone does not appear to be a drag queen, transgender, a gay dad, or undocumented immigrant — making national coverage of the case by the right-wing media unlikely. Instead: the usual suspect. Every. Single. Day.

General Eaton led troops in Iraq. He knows what war looks like. His verdict on Trump's Iran War? America LOST, and Iran is in stronger a position because of it.

SEN. KELLY: Ukraine is not asking us to fight with them with U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine. They’re asking for help with equipment. We want Russia to lose. I want Russia to lose badly. I want Ukraine to win. Best way to achieve that is to give them assistance they need.
