I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Logging doesn’t prevent wildfires, but Trump is trying it anyway. The Agriculture Department is opening more than 112 million acres of federal forests to logging in a misguided bid to prevent fires and boost timber production. grist.org/wildfires/lo... #Wildfire #Logging #Forests #Trees #Climate

1. Trump seems to think of the stock market as his own private piggy bank that he can raid (via manipulation) whenever he wants some cash. It's pointless to tell him this is neither legal nor moral—he doesn't care...

If you read one article this weekend...or this week, or this month...let it be this one from the New Yorker by @amifieldsmeyer.bsky.social and @juliaangwin.com. It is indeed a "practical guide to courage in Trump's age of fear" and it couldn't be more important. www.newyorker.com/news/the-wee...

Hold up—do people still think the "goal" of DOGE is to save taxpayers money, rather than to undermine or shut down agencies with the power to investigate and/or regulate Musk & his crappy companies?

Seems like a no-win situation for Trumplandia. If they say they won't try to get Abrego Garcia back, SCOTUS won't be amused. But if they say thet can't get him back, they look both reckless for making the mistake in the 1st place AND weak because they have no control over the situation.

This is the correct language. They weren't deported, they were disappeared.

NYC public libraries have been underfunded for too long. New Yorkers, please write a letter telling NYC's mayoral candidates that our libraries deserve at least half of 1% of the annual city expense budget (0.5%) in the upcoming budget and into the future. It takes 2 minutes.

We sounded the alarm, and they're backing off. But the fight's not over. Trump and Musk still want to fire thousands of Social Security workers, close offices, and cut services. We'll keep fighting back.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

The uncertainty is the point. Trmplandia is trying to "teach" us that government is untrustworthy...laws & norms & "common decency" are not the guardrails they previously were. We need to figure out how a nation of laws can defend itself against these feckless goons without becoming them.

A very important, elemental concept that I wish more people writing about policy understood is this: *one person’s cost is another person’s income** It’s the source of a whole lot of confusion and also an inherent source of conflict between different interests.

It's so weird how manipulable traders/ markets are. Just floating a rumor can lead to dramatic shifts in trading. And, yes, I think most of Trump's tariff stratergy is about fecklessly manipulating US markets for short-term gains while undermining international confidence in these markets.
