Today our friends Death Cab For Cutie released a new anti-Trump song, titled "Million Dollar Loan," and video directed by Simian Design. The song is the first in DCfC manager Jordan Kurland and author Dave Eggers's 30 Days, 30 Songs series featuring a single song from a different artist each day until the election. Later this week, look for tunes by Aimee Mann, Thao Nguyen, Bhi Bhiman, and REM.

Here's what DCfC singer Ben Gibbard says about "Million Dollar Loan:"

Lyrically, 'Million Dollar Loan' deals with a particularly tone deaf moment in Donald Trump's ascent to the Republican nomination. While campaigning in New Hampshire last year, he attempted to cast himself as a self-made man by claiming he built his fortune with just a 'small loan of a million dollars' from his father. Not only has this statement been proven to be wildly untrue, he was so flippant about it. It truly disgusted me. Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unworthy of the honor and responsibility of being President of the United States of America, and in no way, shape or form represents what this country truly stands for. He is beneath us.
