Obama to Democrats: ‘Toughen Up'
On Friday this column noted that former President Barack Obama was returning to the political fundraising circuit at an event in the Garden State. This naturally raised expectations that Mr. Obama would offer another trademark scolding to the assembled crowd. Our 44th president did not disappoint. Arlette Saenz reports for CNN:

Obama is back on the fundraising circuit trying to help Democrats rebound for upcoming elections
Former President Barack Obama has returned to the fundraising circuit, attending an event in Red Bank, New Jersey, on Friday night. Obama was set to join the chair of the Democratic National Committee, Ken Martin, at the high-dollar fundraiser, Axios reported ahead of the event. It was the two-term president's first fundraiser since the Democrats lost the White House last year. It also comes after several public problems for the DNC leadership. The fundraiser was hosted in the Garden State by outgoing Governor Phil Murphy and his wife, Tammy Murphy, an invitation obtained by Axios stated. It comes before the state's gubernatorial and state legislative elections in November. Some of the funds raised are expected to be spent in New Jersey this fall. The Murphys raised more than $1.5 million at the event, a ccording to the New Jersey Globe. The elections are viewed as an opportunity for the parties to size each other up ahead of next year's midterm elections. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mikie Sherrill took part in the event at the Murphy home in Middletown. The event was sold out, and the money will go to the DNC as it works to get ready for elections later this year and in 2026. Last cycle, Obama raised $85 million for the Democrats, according to his office. Murphy's path in national politics began as the DNC finance chairman. During his remarks at the dinner, he spoke about the need for a strong party infrastructure and his wish for the national party to invest in his state to hold on to the governorship and state assembly control, according to the Globe. Murphy took Obama through the 'lay of the land' in the Garden State, saying that Sherrill is a strong candidate who won the six-candidate primary fight, the outlet noted. Murphy served as the ambassador to Germany during the Obama administration. The DNC has been plagued by infighting during Martin's short tenure. Last month, a dozen DNC members shared their frustrations with Politico, noting their concerns with Martin's ability to unify and lead the party as it attempts to recover from its 2024 losses. One anonymous member told the outlet that Martin has been 'weak and whiny,' and another argued that he's been 'invisible' and his 'early tenure has been disappointing.' Martin told Politico in a statement at the time that 'I ran and won the race for DNC chair to get the DNC out of DC — because too many people in DC want to point fingers, and play the blame game.' 'They want to win irrelevant arguments, with no strategy involved, but the one strategic thing that makes us relevant is winning elections,' he added. 'I was elected chair to help our party win again, and we are.' Voters have labeled Democrats as 'out of touch' and 'weak' in the latest poll ahead of the 2026 midterms. One criticism that circulated in the wake of the presidential election was that Democrats had shifted their focus away from the working class, a segment of the population to which Trump had appealed. Rahm Emanuel, Obama's first chief of staff and a former mayor of Chicago and Biden-era ambassador to Japan, said, 'We're in the most serious existential crisis with Donald Trump both at home and abroad — and with the biggest political opportunity in a decade.' 'And the DNC has spent six months on a firing squad in the circle, and can't even fire a shot out. And Trump's world is a target-rich environment,' he added.

Behind the music - M'ADAM
Cork artist M'ADAM aka Adam O'Donovan has released his new single, It's You, and announced his second album. We asked him the BIG questions . . . It's You is his sixth single this year, keeping to his commitment of a monthly release schedule in 2025. He released his debut album, Horse Food Budget 1984, in 2023. His new album, Before We Die, is released later this year examines themes such as grief and environmental anxiety. Tell us three things about yourself . . . I am an indie folk artist from the north side of Cork City, during the day I research the energy performance of buildings, and I have a chocolate addiction. How would you describe your music? My music is very introspective, honest and direct I would say, mostly focusing on feelings that I feel compelled to write about. It's sad and melancholy, oftentimes when writing it feels like I'm in a movie trying to portray a scene that is in my head. Who are your musical inspirations? I think early in my writing I was interested in alternative and rock music. I love Radiohead. I listened to their albums on repeat when studying or playing video games. I really liked movie soundtracks and in particular the Garden State soundtrack, I remember listening to it in the car in Connemara as a cinnire on repeat for weeks. I was also influenced by my friends a lot - many of them are musicians and introduced me to acts like The Black Keys, I really liked the messy vibes in the earlier albums in particular. Also, the Cork band The Altered Hours were a big influence for me and Mac Demarco for a pick me up when I needed it. I had a brief obsession with Vulfpeck too. At the moment, I am listening to a lot of indie and alternative music like Big Thief, Slow Pulp, and Pinegrove etc. What was the first gig you ever went to? It was a gig in my secondary school. The band Fred played in our school and it was actually mad, they did all sorts of stuff on the stage. My other most memorable gig was going to see The Strokes at Oxygen in 2011. What was the first record you ever bought? I remember recording Britney Spears on the radio to tape and getting a B*witched CD at Christmas. My next door neighbour got me into 5ive, I loved pop and boybands when I was kid. But the first tape I bought was a rap single, Fight Music by D12. I also remember having CDs of Baha Men - Who Let The Dogs Out, Afroman, and Because I Got High (but I always thought the B-side, Bacc On The Bus, was better). Not long after that I bought a copy of St. Anger by Metallica, and my uncle then gave me a CD of Weathered by Creed. Looking back, I listened to a lot of different styles of music but from that point onwards it got rockier and more alternative. That's a very hard question to answer. I would say my most listened to song for me at the moment is either Dancing in the Club by This is Lorelei, MJ Lenderman or Born For Loving You by Big Thief. Favourite lyric of all time? "When I am king you will be first against the wall" Paranoid Android by Radiohead. Whenever I hear this lyric, whatever mood it catches me in, it always feels current no matter when I listen to it. If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be? Nessun Dorma - Luciano Pavarotti, performed live once a year and have a cry. Where can people find your music/more information? You can join my mailing list and you can find it in the usual places. I will be playing a headline show of the album Before We Die in the Sirius Arts Centre in Cobh on 19 of July and a vinyl of my upcoming album is available to pre-order if you want to listen to it before it's released digitally in August. People on my mailing list will get early access and discounts on the record.
