“I voted blue but things still suck” is a reason to do more than just vote, not a reason to vote for something demonstrably worse (or sit out the chance to keep Demonstrably Worse out of office)

If Biden were to do the funniest thing, SCOTUS would 1000% do the least funny thing.

I love that folks think SCOTUS established a new general rule, as opposed to just having helped Trump in a way that will not apply to Democratic presidents

Recently I’ve been finding that the Endless Screaming account isn’t quite endless enough for my needs

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Please pray for me, I just waded into the replies on a popular Phish Instagram meme account to tell someone not to vote for RFK.

If SCOTUS doesn't make you angry enough to overlook Biden's faults I don't know what to tell you.

Breaking news: Federal prosecutors improperly charged hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants with obstruction, the Supreme Court ruled on Friday, upending many cases against rioters who disrupted the certification of the 2020 presidential election.

Supreme Court says prosecutors improperly charged hundreds of Jan. 6 rioterswww.washingtonpost.com Supreme Court’s decision on obstruction charge will impact trials of hundreds of Jan. 6 rioters and, potentially, former president Donald Trump.

A fundamentally undemocratic court that has been controlled by Republican nominees for 55 consecutive years just seized control of the whole damn government. Yet another reason Democrats should center the Supreme Court in their campaigns. (More on this soon!)

Here’s the Loper Bright decision expressly overruling Chevron and radically reordering American government, probably for the worse. Chief Justice Roberts wrote it, and the vote went on party lines. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

Another move that highlights the massive urgency of electing a Democratic president, yet also a move that will sway exactly zero votes.

This is big: The Supreme Court has overruled the "Chevron" doctrine, which gave administrative agencies leeway to interpret ambiguous laws. This will decrease agencies' regulatory power and give a lot more power to courts. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

Prediction: tonight’s debate will result in record low ratings, but record high alcohol sales

In honor of the 30th anniversary of the GameHoist show, Phish should* stage a full choreographed production of the entire Hoist album *n’t

You can say that you’re tired of being told this is The Most Important Election Of Our Lives, but the reality is that preventing a coup is going to take overwhelming numbers of votes for the foreseeable future and if you aren’t willing to vote all the time you have to be ready for The Consequences.

Has anyone ever gotten the story of how it came to happen that Jay Z at the height of his powers came out with Phish?

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

Under current law, you really couldn’t do much better than Biden’s FTC and NRLB. New Deal shit.

I wonder if Trey is the first person to play with Billys Joel *and* Strings.

Trey’s guest spot with Billy Joel is the greatest act of global peacemaking at a concert since Bob Marley brought together the leaders of Jamaica’s warring political parties in 1978.

What Phish song should Billy Joel guest on when he returns the favor at Mondegreen? Fucking terrible ideas only.

Trey is the king of trolling his audience, but sitting in with Billy Joel absolutely blows his previous troll-jobs out of the water.

This is called impact journalism. Get this man a Pulitzer.

MAJOR TWIST: Spokeswoman for the Sphere says the ban against the bong enjoyer at the 4/20 Phish show was issued in error and is not in effect, blames "a breakdown in our process" for the letter he received. Story has been updated.

I know that alerting people to the horrors that await them if Trump is elected is absolutely not the way to persuade on-the-fence voters to vote for the only viable alternative. But jfc it’s hard to keep drumming on kitchen table issues when you read articles like this.

EXCLUSIVE: Talked to the Phish fan banned from the Sphere (and all Madison Square Garden Entertainment venues) for ripping a bong at the band's 4/20 show in the Vegas arena. He has no regrets — despite being kept out of the Dead & Co. show tonight.

This, especially if you have small children, who should absolutely not be inhaling even a little bit of toxic fumes

Gritty has issued the formal proclamation: It’s LGBTQ Pride Month. Here’s to finding yourself, your community, and all of the love and support you need to enjoy and express both — and to be able to do so safely and free from government and other interference.

Donald Trump is a convicted felon.

Regardless of what the verdict is, it’s going to be overshadowed by the news that Phish is offering single day tickets to Mondegreen.
