YES, but for me, as I've often tweeted here, it was her last two studio albums that established her status as 'a great American songwriter.' Can hardly wait to hear the new one manana.

'I looked at her and she looked at me
And I looked back and she looked back
And we went out together for a walk
Her eyes were bright just like the stars
But she drove a pickup said she hated cars
But loved to ride around out after dark'
--Lyle Lovett (1987)

Woke up in Nashville this morning, and magically this swingin' tune from 1987 leapt into my head. Thank you Mr Lyle Lovett:

Amen, brother.

“Lachlan Murdoch, who runs Fox…mainly wants to keep the business humming…he believes this is his responsibility to the shareholders, to keep pro-Trump propaganda going, to keep the viewers watching.” And they expect it, happily swallow it

.@BrianStelter: for years, Trump has believed the lies Fox News anchors tell about him, “misinforming himself as well as his fans.” His acceptance of such “warped” ignorance and falsehood has greatly “hurt his career, his presidency, his post-presidency.”

.Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC just reported Trump is indeed 'unindicted coconspirator 1,' according to new Arizona indictment. Expect USA's worst ever traitor to pick up another indictment & probably a few more felony counts in the not too distant future to add to his growing collection.

All the indicted figures we know about so far (more names are redacted) in new Trump Arizona fake elector scheme indictments are senior Trump White House/campaign figures. This stink evidently went very high in the org. Could Trump be an unindicted co-conspirator at the moment?

While driving the Georgia/North Carolina border today, listening to Hannity & Bill O'Reilly on the radio, they both railed about dangerous LIES: that Biden, a Catholic (as they repeated), is fine w/abortion even on the day B4 birth; & that college protesters are mostly pro-Hamas.

The hard-right MAGA GOP know the only way they can win elections or achieve anything is by outrageous lying & cheating. How can we as a country ever go forward together when the biggest news network not just allows but encourages them to place hate over the over the truth 24/7?

Poetry.

BREAKING: You decide to work at a high level for Trump, sooner or later you'll have to lie & crime for him. Likely even betray your country. But hey Rudy & Mark, doncha worry bout a thing: am sure the 45th Prez will generously pay the millions you're about to incur in lawyer fees

If there are any smart people working on the Trump campaign, when they saw these primary results in this key swing state from last night, they probably doubled their supply of Maalox at the office. :)

Not good enough. They also must point out at length, w/smart ad campaigns, the absolute failure & financial disaster concerning Thatcher & the Tories’ insane ideology concerning privatization: on railways, gas/electric, NHS, Thames Water, pandemic PPE etc.

Details & disses from current beef between a dozen famed rappers (Kendrick,Drake,Kanye etc) w/amazingly snooze-worthy lines. Sounds like it’s time for a blazing creative young new performer to usurp them, (easily) wipe up the floor w/these old “rich guys”:

What a bill. Hope they drop by the UK. Can also hardly wait for @MichaelKiwanuka’s new LP later this year.

The same is true for every criminal defendant in America. Is Justice Alito just now discovering our criminal justice system?

Benjamin Franklin's oft-quoted phrase of 'a republic if you can keep it' was never more relevant than it was at @SCOTUS today with the Trump lawyers' insane anti-democracy anti-rule of law arguments⬇️

I heard some of the arguments in this SCOTUS case yesterday. Below, @LindyLi is NOT exaggerating. These cruel so-called Justices pathologically hate women:

Just so. Trump has won this case, regardless of the verdict. The Republic and our capacity to govern ourselves as a nation of laws have lost.
