Rep. Beatty: I was at the Kennedy Center board meeting with Trump. He said, ‘I think you’re incompetent,’ and I said, ‘I know you’re incompetent.’ He wanted to talk about how great he was at developing. I reminded him that he had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.

These are my favorite covers of Randy Newman songs. Most of them are by some of my favorite singers. Randy Newman names a couple of them among his favorites as well.

Head to IWillVote.com and check your voter registration status. Then send this to the group chat and make sure they check theirs, too.
