Audible decided to launch ads featuring my audiobook for Mr. New Orleans next to James Gandolfini, the greatest actor of the 21st century. This audiobook got me nominated against Malcolm X for the 2021 Audie literary award, and now it has put me with Saint Jimmy of Park Ridge.

Pope Leo XIV's maternal grandparents were Joseph and Louise Martinez, Creole black folks from New Orleans. They lived on Old Prieur in the 7th Ward and then on St. Peters in the 5th Ward in early 1900s. Mr. Martinez made cigars for a living. They were extremely devout Catholics

Congratulations, we have reached the Platonic ideal of an American news story. A bald eagle carrying Old Glory in its talons as "Freebird" plays wouldn't be more American this image.

Isn't it about time for Obama to post some music recommendations or photos of him chilling with a billionaire or royalty? Maybe a new Netflix deal?

I told you we’d be back

Any politician who supports bombing Iran should simply be replaced at the earliest possible date. Regardless of party, or their position on any other issue, if you can't oppose this war, you need to go. It's a fundamental fitness for office quesiton.

Regarding war, the terrifying truth is POTUS is as absolute a dictatorship as Stalin's. POTUS can have a brain destroying stroke overnight, & cabinet/DOD will faithfully execute orders to commit unimaginable atrocities the next morning. We are all strapped to the bomb. No say.

Sinking feeling that Trump is going to insist on using a tactical nuke on Fordow in Iran "just to be sure" and to cow any potential response.

America First brutally cucked by Israel. Biggest suckers on earth.

Under the Constitution, under any AUMF still in existence, and, yes, under the War Powers Resolution of 1973—President Trump’s strikes against Iran are completely and unambiguously unlawful. Anyone telling you otherwise is either deeply misinformed or acting in bad faith.

Cannot describe how embarrassing this is for the NYTimes

Ghislaine is alive yet there isn't a pressure campaign to get her to flip She coordinated the enterprise. If she was a 89-year-old Italian from the Bronx, they'd be leaning with the entire force of feds to flip on geriatric bookmakers to get a Mob bust press release. Why?

New Con/Confession: Trump says Epstein files that just didn't exist now do exist, but they were written by Comey & Dems so you definitely shouldn't trust them. Anyone asking for release of files that didn't exist but now do exist are "playing into the hands" of Trump's enemies.

You know what the leak to the WSJ of the bizarre & ghoulish 2003 birthday card from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein means? Looks like the first round of Ghislaine trying to extort a pardon out of Trump, the first shot across the bow via document leaks. Batten down the hatches

In response to all of the scam accusations from law enforecment, Al Capone's attorney has asked that his 5th grade report card be unsealed! No one gives one molecular fuck about the grand jury transcript.

Since I was blessed to work with National Congress of American Indians President Fawn Sharp on killing the racist DC team's brand, it gives me personal joy to know POTUS is sitting in a bitchy funk over it, hot and bothered all these years later, on a random Sunday.

Today, Melissa & I were impossibly blessed to host our dear friends George Clinton, Tairee Parks, Michael Hampton of Parliament Funkadelic at the most special place on Earth, Salish Lodge at Snoqualmie Falls. I got to watch Melissa sing with George at the waterfall. Perfection.
