This is very true. He’s not an afterthought in the writing room. Great story arch!

Great interview with @OdettesOdyssey giving a few hints about her upcoming new album “Herald” and talking about her process during, and beyond making it. Mixed by me, I’m one of three producers, and O and I co-wrote a couple too (with her very much leading the process) 🙏

Humbly asking all DC folks who rent via VRBO/Airbnb/etc. to refrain from renting/listing their properties from January 17th-20th as we read reports there will be a second far-right riot planned. Spread the word #DontRentDC #bytthings @BYT @washingtonpost @wcp

I am heartbroken and astounded that this narcissistic and dangerous president would put lives in danger and encourage violent sedition against our government. That man is no longer able to serve as President because he can't accept defeat. Can we afford 2 more weeks? I say NO!

"Murder the media" is carved on the door.
A line of people exit the Capitol building. One bloodied in the head and more came out who previously stormed the building.

It is an *urgent* priority for the president to be legally removed from office as quickly as possible.

I’m old enough to remember when George Floyd was murdered by police for allegedly using a fake $20 bill.

They had zip ties. They were planning to take Congress hostage. Think about that.

I'm worried about DC residents tonight with all these White domestic terrorists roaming, feeling emboldened, knowing the DC police are at the U.S. Capitol. Please, if you can, stay home. Your lives are at risk. The city is under siege.

White supremacy is terrorism. This is what Trump has encouraged.
I'm praying for the safety of the members, staff, and the press at the U.S. Capitol. This is terrorism. This is an assault on democracy.
