Forgot to do a year-end retrospective, but other than finding new purpose reporting on ICE flights, it’s just this. I’ll never achieve my fantasy of being one of Leonard Cohen’s backup singers, but singing “Who by Fire?” with neighbors was just as meaningful, and real. 🖤

As I explained in my newsletter, this is because Trump's team has reinvented millennia of math to invert what "percentage of change" means. www.howtoreadthisch.art/its-beginnin...

Fear is contagious, but so is courage. I remain steadfast in my oath to the Constitution and am grateful to those across the nation who stand with us. Don't give up the ship.

I am just so fucking proud of her.

The Roadless Rule protects some of New Mexico’s last truly wild public lands. These are the places where you chase elk, fish for Rio Grande cutthroat trout, or call in a coveted Gould’s turkey. Repealing the Roadless Rule is an attack on our hunting and fishing heritage.

When you go to work, you should receive a livable wage. You should have health care and workplace protections. You should be able to join a union without fear of retaliation. These are the common sense demands of the labor movement. It is essential. Happy Labor Day!

We've launched a new D.C. campaign demanding that federal agents take off their masks — because public servants should face the public. Our posters and mobile billboard will be blanketing the District, demanding accountability.

Sen. Bernie Sanders held another “Fighting Oligarchy” event in Chicago last night. There was a massive turnout. Sanders also rallied large crowds in Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin this weekend. His tour’s now been to seventeen states. More here:

What is it called when government owns the means of production again?

Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

“Every day, at eight o’clock, until these terrorists get out of our streets, we want people to go outside your door… just stop and for five minutes, just make noise." “Making noise is resistance." "Making noise is freedom." www.huffpost.com/entry/dc-pro...

Missouri Democratic lawmakers are in such a superminority that they don’t even need to show up for laws to be passed in this state. An even sadder statement? A piece of legislation can go from the House to the Senate to becoming a law on the Governor’s desk while never being signed by a woman.

It’s been a tough few months in DC, but there is one huge win we can all celebrate: we kept public lands in public hands. We came together–across the aisle and across the conservation world–to protect our public lands. I’m grateful to everyone who joined the fight with us.

There is no master plan, our economic is just whatever Donald Trump and JD Vance made up.

Trump threatened to arrest us. Abbott threatened to remove us from office. Paxton threatened to “hunt” us down. Yesterday, we received a bomb threat. But we will not back down.

I just need one member of the media to ask Trump how much a $500 drug would cost after a 1500% discount.

This simple yet utterly meaningless combination of two words is a red flag for any “wellness” product: Clinically proven.

Russell Vought has unilaterally decided today that he simply won’t allow anyone outside of NIH to receive research funding. $15 billion in NIH funding is now locked down. If not reversed, it will also take down many Universities in the United States. Forget new cancer treatments or vaccines.

60 years ago today, President Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law. 60 years later, Congressional Republicans helped pass the largest cut to Medicaid in the program’s history. All to give millionaires and billionaires a tax cut.

When she was just 26 Florence Merriam wrote the first guide to birding with binoculars in 1889. And she slipped in this incredible feminist gem:

93% of guns recovered at crime scenes in NYC are from out of state. Strong state laws can’t stop weapons of war from flowing across borders. As long as states allow access to assault weapons, tragedies like yesterday’s Midtown Manhattan shooting will happen. We need federal gun safety legislation.

Everyone should do this—Tell your Senators and Rep they need to support this bill on unmasking ICE and displaying clear ID here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Here's Some Great News That'll Ruin Trump's Corrupt Golf Vacation:

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

The Constitution requires Congress to promote the progress of science. Nobody has done that better than Bill Nye the Science Guy, whose PBS show educated millions of children for free. I spoke to Bill about the impact of the devastating cuts to public broadcasting on children’s education.

Thank you to everyone who made some #GoodTrouble yesterday to honor the late Rep. John Lewis and carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all.

Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought." h/t @msnbc.com

The government is detaining people in horrific conditions and denying them access to counsel. We'll see the Trump administration in court.

South Dakota announced a $63 million surplus this year. Earlier this year, the governor's office opposed a free school lunch bill because "we can't afford it." The bill would've cost less than a dollar per resident of the state at $616,000.

TOMORROW: Join the kickoff of our nationwide campaign to train one million Americans on leading peaceful non-compliance and disruption tactics. This is how we slow down, stop, and ultimately defeat Trump’s authoritarian takeover. RSVP now: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"

"Americans have never witnessed anything like the corruption that President Donald Trump and his inner circle have perpetrated in recent months. Its brazenness, volume, and variety defy historical comparison" www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

We love America, and love keeping Americans safe, so we introduced the Visible Act. It requires ICE agents to wear identifiable badges and conduct their duties unmasked. Policies centered around transparency and accountability are effective in making communities, and law enforcement safer.

Join One Million Rising, our campaign to train one million Americans to lead a local resistance movement. We're undertaking this new effort to dramatically ramp up defiance and non-cooperation tactics society-wide, whether it be at corporations, education, the media, or neighborhoods.

Frum: What a tariff is, is the equivalent of hitting yourself in the head. And he’s saying to the world: “We will not stop hitting ourselves in the head unless you all agree to hit yourselves in the head.”
