1991 Prince demo for Céline Dion to be released Tuesday After hearing “Beauty and the Beast,” Prince wrote a ballad for Dion’s second English-language album.

To mark the 10th anniversary of Prince's death on Tuesday, we're getting probably the most high profile demo of a song he wrote for someone else that notably WASN'T on the "Originals" release, the demo for the song he wrote for Celine Dion. "With This Tear": www.startribune.com/prince-celin...

BREAKING: New data shows ZERO oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, signaling what appears to be a complete shutdown of the Strait for the first time in history.

The Strait normally carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply.

Some of it, perhaps. And some of it financial assistance raised with tax money from other EU countries. We've all been made to pay for "conservatives" (fascists and crooks) in other countries.

Let's have some of it back.

A New Hungary Is a Huge Opportunity for Europe Once the problem area, Central Europe could become the engine of reform the continent needs.

"All of this requires a renewal of trust. Under Orbán, Budapest was the EU’s and NATO’s leakiest capital, working closely with Moscow. But Europe’s weakest link could become its strongest."

Incoming Hungarian PM Péter Magyar went on Orbán's state TV today for the first time in 18 months:

"This factory of lies will end once the Tisza govt is formed... What has been going on here since 2010, which even Goebbels or the North Korean dictator would have been envious of, cannot continue."

Hungary’s New Leader Reveals Viktor Orbán Was Paying CPAC Péter Magyar called the payments a “crime” and said his government would stop the funds.

Péter Magyar, who unseated Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Sunday in a landslide, shared a bombshell with reporters that the outgoing leader had diverted taxpayer funds to bankroll the American Conservative Political Action Conference. trib.al/g1OvFNi

Track AIPAC and CPAC - both turned out to be ratfucking operations from our own long time allies in the European Union (Germany, Hungary). Before we all got into this mess with Trump and our longtime allies (especially Canada and the UK).

NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC.

Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.

Roger Sollenberger: Péter Magyar, the new Hungarian prime minister, says CPAC was paid by the Hungarian government and will not be any longer

Oh my what a Schlapp in the face this is

Matt Schlapp grifting off Hungarian taxpayers comes to an end.

All the people who keep screaming that AIPAC is a foreign organization that shouldn’t be allowed to participate in politics

Are dead silent at the revelation that Hungary has been funding CPAC all this time.

I can not tell you how extremely Orban's defeat 𝙛𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙙 the international far Right. Everywhere. Including the US.

This is an extremely good signal. Something the Right Wingers and fascists, specifically JD Vance, tried to avoid. Vance even campaigned for Orban... it was that important to them.

Boom. 💥
The far right goes down in Hungary.

Orban loses.

Opinion | Orban’s defeat shows the Achilles’ heel of populist power Formerly ascendant European right-wing parties are in retreat, a possible omen Trump’s MAGA movement.

Orban became to the far-right what Fidel Castro had once been to the far-left: a beau ideal. Orban was “Trump before Trump,” Steve Bannon once said. So what does it say that Orban has been so decisively repudiated by his own electorate? bit.ly/4mr52EH

How badly does the Hungarian election scare the far-right?

The trolls that disappeared to fight each other in the US-Iran-Israel-Russia cyberattacks are back to say Orban wasn’t a fascist and that voting in the US doesn’t matter.

Sarah Matthews on the curse of JD Vance: "Where do we send JD next? Because based on his track record, everything the man touches turns to complete and utter shit."

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Allegations of sexual misconduct should be viewed the same whether against the Right, Left, or Far/DSA Left.

Meaning, if you change your view depending solely on whether it's trump, Melania, Graham Cracker or Eric, you're not a victim's advocate.

I don’t know who’s on David Scott’s team but they are littering South DeKalb and ClayCo with yard signs…

… and the opposition is nowhere to be found.

David Scott should not be representing anyone in Congress right

Democrats taking the horseshit fed to them by Consultants are going to find them selves wandering like zombies when they get the Kamala bomb dropped on them because Black folks in the South, the ones who decide the nomination, are in no mood for this White bullshit from ANY direction anymore.

"Moderating" on "Cultural Issues" and cutting Government Revenue thus causing an instant deficit is Political Incompetence.
Democrats need to stop listening to what Consultants tell them and use fucking common sense or else they're gonna blow this moment.

Alright, let's make it clear here.
Alex Thompson is a Republican Plant out to destroy the Democratic Party.
That has to be the case between working on that shit book with Tapper and now being assigned to "cover the Democratic Party" and putting out ragebait pieces like this.

Dr. Clark would be an ENORMOUS step up for Georgia but also for the House in general. We need more scientists!

“What does he even do” with an arrow that points to Congressman David Scott.

If I had money like that this would be on damn near every billboard on 78.

Dr. Clark or Everton Blair better win this primary

Happy birthday Tanya

@tanyatate.bsky.social happy birthday

Where's AOC?

Oh, right, she'll only fly in private jets.

A little pixelated here but you can see Miami consistently ranking near the top of places where folks must spend the highest % of income on rent

And unlike in New York City you MUST own a car. Yikes!

Miami is the new San Francisco, with the highest out-migration rate of all large metros.
