Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so. snyder.substack.com/p/venezuela-...

I interviewed Aftyn Behn, who is running in a special election in TN7 — if you know anyone in the district, please remind them to vote for Aftyn. She has a real shot to flip the congressional seat. @aftynbehn.bsky.social jesspiper.substack.com/p/feed-kids-...

Trump threatened lawmakers — specifically six veterans-turned-lawmakers — for telling our troops to follow the constitution. It’s on us to demand every elected official condemn his calls for political violence. Protect our reps, veterans, and troops. #WADM #elm100bk @moniquepressley.bsky.social

The greater the coordination and mutual assistance, the stronger and safer we will be—for more people. Let’s get more states to join!

This new Pentagon press policy is not good for our press or our military. And I’m saying that as a former soldier who knows the importance of a free press. www.thebulwark.com/p/locking-do...

These funds are provided through E-Rate and often through libraries. There is zero evidence of political bias.

Chicago just went all in on renewable energy and is demonstrating that it works. Chicago now powers EVERY city-owned building – from airports to police stations – with renewable energy. That includes O’Hare airport.

Libraries are where discoveries happen, and where Michiganders can explore, learn, and connect with their community. During Michigan Library Appreciation Month and MI Right to Read Week (October 5–11), we are excited to honor Michigan libraries with the theme: “Find Out.”

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

Authoritarian systems rely on silence. But people are paying attention. Every voice raised, every truth shared, chips away at the control. Change doesn’t come from hope alone, it comes from action rooted in awareness. And that starts with us.

This was a hard one to write. It’s disconcerting to report on inhumane conditions at a U.S. concentration camp from the comfort of my home office, but not enough people are speaking out. And I don’t want history to repeat. Please help let others know. My write-up in the replies.

Feeding the country lies isn’t leadership—it’s cowardice. I’m your Shadow Press Secretary and here’s the truth:

Finland has topped the World Happiness Rankings for the eighth year running. Wonder what they’re doing differently? 🤔🤔 www.thetimes.com/world/europe...

Rep. Menendez: "They had over 20 armed ICE HSI officers, they were heavily armed, their faces were covered, and they wearing no identification. So this is who they chose to have come engage with the mayor of Newark and 3 elected members of the House of Representatives."

WELKER: You talked about the fact that this might not be confined to Newark. Are there other airports that you're concerned about? DUFFY: I'm concerned about the whole airspace. The equipment that we use much of it we can't buy parts for new.

I'm giving it away during my NHSLS keynote tomorrow. I love it so much!
