Pretty harsh, coming from a guy who has had a whopping five hit songs in 50 YEARS!
Todd Rundgren not only criticized Taylor Swift's music but also blamed her for what he describes as a decline in music quality today.

IMO, one smart response to these ads is to taunt GOP MoCs that Trump is still sitting on mountains of $$ and instead using taxpayer dollars to remind voters what a corrupt asshole he is.

This is one of those stories that drives home just how horrifying the current administration and its immigration policies / enforcement tactics are. It’s heartbreaking and stomach turning.
ICE has abducted Senegalese WBB player Aminata Seck and won't release her.
DHS 'policy' is to provide medical care to prisoners at intake, yet they admit to denying her care for an ACL injury for 1.5 months.
The NCAA is letting it happen, despite its predatory recruitment of ICAs.

ICE has abducted a college athlete. What are the NCAA and universities going to do about it?
Aminata Seck’s detention shows the bargain facing international college athletes: universities eagerly recruit them, but support can disappear when their immigration status becomes precarious.
