Nor are they “way better” than Biden. Certainly worse for our democracy.
Seriously? These are people that have no regard for the law, constitution or the truth. You can't trust the Doge bro's as far as you can throw them. They've lied at every turn and f*cked up every organization they have touched. Not to mention the huge security risk and conflict of interest they represent.
To those that say they approve of DOGE's cost cutting and making government more efficient, I say Musk, Trump and his oligarchs don't give a damn about government efficiency. This is all a smoke-screen to purge government employees that are not MAGA loyalists and could be a barrier to their installing a Dictatorship and corrupt Soviet style oligarchy. They have already fired IG's, prosecutors and agency heads that pose a threat to their corruption and authoritarianism. It's all in Project 25 and they are systematically executing the plan.
Huh? Miles Davis and the band Toto. Not a pairing I would expect. #jazz
Back to basics.

Chris Potter Trio at the Atheneum Music and Arts Library. A small intimate venue in LaJolla #SanDiego. Just killin’. #jazz #livemusic
Diehard Jeopardy! fan snagged tickets for LA taping! Witnessed 2 shows filmed (airing in July!), but alas, my trivia skills aren't even close to these contestants.
My biggest takeaway is that host and #Jeopardy icon Ken Jennings, while all smiles and jovial on TV, really is grinding it out taping 5 shows a day. Off camera it is hard work, and it shows in his demeanor. (no cameras allowed in studio, but took this photo back stage)
Live Review » Duets: Chucho Valdes, Dianne Reeves, and Joe Lovano at 92Y
A supergroup can be as much a treat for the players as for its listeners. Saxophonist Joe Lovano, singer Dianne Reeves, and pianist Chucho Valdes seemed as jazzed—so to speak—about their summit meeting as were their noisy, enthusiastic audience at the wood-paneled Thomas L. Kaufmann Concert Hall at New York's 92nd Street Y

Padres Win! I have been to 3 #baseball games at Petco Park so far this year. #SanDiego #Padres have won all three. They have scored 12, 10, and 6 runs in each of those games.
I have worn the same clothes for those games and will continue to do so as long as they are winning. Obviously, my choice of what to wear has a lot to do with those wins. Right?
David Liebman always coaxes a Middle Eastern sound from his horn, particularly his soprano. Add flute and wood flute, Badal Roy on tablas, and John Ambercrombie’s guitar, Charlie Haden bass for a real interesting sound. Sweet Hands also has extensive liner notes. #Nowplaying #jazz #vinyl

Oddly stated, but hooray for #weed users in the USA. You are pardoned.
“President Joe Biden announced Friday he's issuing a federal pardon to every American who has used #marijuana in the past, including those who were never arrested or prosecuted.”

From my experience, this report is true. I’m always surprised at the large percentage of patrons at my local dispensary that are seniors. Makes me feel right at home. #Cannabis #weed

Monterey #Jazz Festival day two. Best of; John Scofield, Delvin Lamar, Ambrose Akinmusare, Diana Reeves, Lakecia Benjamin 👇
Opening evening at Monterey. Terrance Blanchard was the highlight of the evening. He did a
retrospective show, starting with straight ahead Art Blakey material. Then went through various stages of his career. His Katrina suites, fusion, film scoring, current stuff. He supplemented his core group
(Benny Green, Lakecia, Ben Wendel, C. McBride, Kendrick Scott) with guests Turtle Island Quartet, Dianna Reeves, Lionel Lueke. His show was quite remarkable. 1/2
Beautiful outdoor #concert venue, Rady Shell, hosted a Bird & Dizzy tribute show with an outstanding lineup.
(l to r) Gilbert Castellanos, Gerald Clayton, Charles McPherson, Jeremy Pelt, David Wong, Antonio Hart, Joe Farnsworth

A new episode of In The Groove, #Jazz and Beyond. Starts as a 70's fusion set, but ends on a more hard-bop sound. Most, from music heard on #Jazztodon .
