Hey @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and I are headed out on the road again. This time to Dayton, Ohio. If Republicans refuse to hold public meetings to explain why they voted to throw 17 million people off their health care to give tax cuts to the rich, we…

You need to know what's going on at "Alligator Alcatraz." It's grossly immoral - no human being should be treated like that. It's political theater - many of the detainees have no criminal record. It's a taxpayer funded boondoggle - enriching…

FEMA has the capacity to do top notch rescue and response. But not under Secretary Noem. She shut down the emergency phone system days after the floods. She sent only a few dozen rescue workers when the state had nearly 2000 of it's own people doing that…

The new Grok is a racist disaster apparently. When asked to rank "deserving immigrants", gave extra points for Europeans. When asked about the neo-Nazi party in Germany: “If you’re German, consider voting AfD for change.”…

The floods ripped through Texas on July 4. On July 5, FEMA received 3000 calls from survivors. 1% were unanswered. That night, Trump/Noem fired the people who answer the calls. On July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls. 65% unanswered. July 7: 85%. Sick.…

Trump and Noem fired the people who answer the emergency phone line. It’s not really incompetence because they know what they are doing. They are intentionally breaking government - even the parts that help us when we are deep in crisis.…

It's weird that a big tent Democratic party wouldn't include the guy who just handily won the Democratic primary in the city with the most Democratic voters in America. #votersmatter

I told you that the SCOTUS's ban on national injunctions would supersize Trump's lawlessness. Well, it's starting. 1/ Let me break some news for you: Trump is stealing money to build facilities like Alligator Alcatraz - from an account earmarked for the…

The lack of local journalism is part of what is causing America's crisis of disconnection. When you can't learn about your neighbors, it's harder to build the commitment the community and mutual obligation that breeds purpose and identity. [contains quote…

This "Democrats and Republicans" line is bullshit. I wrote a bipartisan bill last year that would have stopped all asylum seekers from being released into the country. It gave POTUS emergency power to shut down the border. It put billions into border…

Already we're seeing hospitals and health centers close because of the devastating health care cuts in the Republican megabill. You need to know that even if you keep your health care, you're going to have less doctors and hospitals - especially in rural…

"The Weather Service employee whose job it was to make sure those warnings got traction—Paul Yura, the long-serving meteorologist in charge of “warning coordination”—had recently taken an unplanned early retirement amid cuts pushed by the so-called…

A fair, thoughtful article on why no one should just dismiss Trump's decision to push out the experienced, long-serving local federal employee who worked to disseminate warnings about potentially deadly storms and floods. t.co/n4O7YqHbB7…

Let's be honest. There are some serious questions about the impact of President Trump's assault on NOAA, the National Weather Service, and FEMA, and whether it made these floods more deadly. We aren't doing our job if we aren't seeking answers to these…
