Did you ever think you could go up to a food truck to order how you should vote on this November's ballot initiatives? Now you can!

For years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored. That ends today. nyc.gov/sept11docs

The House voted to condemn “socialism” earlier this week. Listen, I’ve been in and around politics for over 50 years. I grew up during McCarthyism and the “red Scare” of the 1950s. I’ve seen all of this fear-mongering before. Here’s what’s really going on.

If you have questions about trumps executive order regarding mail-in ballots, this is a great and somewhat reassuring break down. Thanks @marcelias.bsky.social

Sand Dunes in Colorado are worth checking out if you can. 30 square miles.

If a candidate doesn’t support full medicare for all, not only are they wrong they are anti-American. US citizens deserve the dignity and care that only comes with universal health care. It’s pro-business as well. ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

A new study shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1 trillion every year. The new research out of Yale shows that reductions in administrative overhead, lower pharmaceutical prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergency care trips would lead to huge savings. /1

These hero dogs chased off a man who tried to sexually assault two female dog walkers. They were able to push him away, and then their pack of 11 rescue dogs ran him off into a tunnel and ripped off a piece of his pants. The dogs are all getting our highest honor, a 15/10

The wealthy can't help themselves, they'll just keep taking and taking. We must tax wealth, there is no good reason to allow billionaires to exist.

This is just like the tobacco industry. They knew it was harmful but didn’t care. The AI companies already know the risks & side effects. They have them buried somewhere in a report. So what health impacts would be unexpected?

Great news! apple.news/A4VojjOiOOkW...

We found that Jeff Bezos paid zero taxes in 2007 and 2011. In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children. Revisit our 2021 story:

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks. The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

“How much could really get done in 100 days?” ✔️Put $8.5 million in stolen wages back in the pockets of New Yorkers who earned it. From the fast food workers to delivery drivers, we will always defend the hard-working people of New York City against fraudulent employers.

🚨AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE STAT: The amount that's already been spent on just two weeks of the Iran War is more than the government estimate of the cost of a paid family/medical leave program covering every single private-sector worker in America. www.levernews.com/the-aid-cuts...

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill is seeking to fine big companies with workers on Medicaid. Her plan would generate $145 million to offset the state's Medicaid costs. Too often big corporations deny workers healthcare, and rely on the state to step in. newjerseymonitor.com/2026/03/12/g...

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Proposed tax breaks for data centers would increase taxes for poor Coloradans, analysts say

With Obama back in the news expressing shock that Trump won, liberals are still telling themselves a lie in order to pretend turning hope & change into more of the same didn't ignite the backlash that fueled MAGA's ascent. Somehow, Democrats still seem unwilling to learn from the cautionary tale.

What’s one way we can rein in ICE? We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty. Watch.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

This is such a great video! First time watching this guy and I love him! youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM?...

Go Lorde!

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Good.

Marc and I go way back, great guy. Lead singer/songwriter and guitar player for Odin's Other Eye. I recently recorded and mixed their new song "Cyber Stalker" sounds awesome, my favorite song they've done. Only on Bandcamp, definitely worth checking out. odinsothereye.bandcamp.com/track/my-cyb...

The term universal health care is not accurate regarding changing our current system. It's universal health insurance. Under a single payer, medicare for all system, it's only the insurance component that is a government program. The health care, doctors, hospitals, etc remain in the private sector.

So we the tax payers, subsidize the private for-profit health insurance industry. Seems like we could just take that tax money and pay for the care directly instead of sending it to the insurance companies to leach out their cut. We need public health insurance now.

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇 Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it. Our new @rollingstone.com piece based on our new book MASTER PLAN. Get the book at LeverNews.com/book

New music from a band out of Colorado Springs, Chasing Phantoms. Recorded and mixed by yours truly. Really great songs and they nailed their parts. Recorded all of it in 2-1/2 days. tidal.com/browse/album...

Haven’t heard of this company before but it’s really cool for busking musicians. busk.co

A little secret to happiness. Turn off the podcast and turn on some music. Not always, podcasts can provide great information but music can change your day. I find especially during commutes, music is the way.

Sometimes artists/musicians have a hard time evaluating their own work. When asked if it's good, they are asking because they can't tell, likely too involved to have perspective. Best way to answer is honestly, even if they are little hurt, it's a huge help in improving.

This was such a great session, 9 piece jazz band, all in the same room kicking ass. Recorded Live and Mixed by yours truly. open.spotify.com/album/374yJq...

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Sonic Conscious is the name of my recording studio, it means aware of sound.

One good thing social media has brought us, is increased awareness of the consciousness of animals. They love, they morn, they play and are much more intelligent than generally thought. And animal videos are the best!

It's beyond frustrating to watch Democrats in power complain they can't do anything because they're in the minority like we all didn't just watch Mitch McConnell continue to find ways to derail Dem efforts on key bills when Republicans were in the minority.
