The daddy of all executive orders: Trump’s new executive order expands White House control over independent agencies like the SEC, FTC, and FCC by requiring them to submit regulations and budgets for review. Surely, it undermines agency independence and threatens checks and balances.

If Trump wins, there will be efforts to blame Russian interference or the Harris campaign or Biden, etc. That's all fair. But we need to be clear eyed that a huge swath of America likes what Trump is selling. Transphobia. Mass deportation. That's what he ran on. And here we are.

Folks, I CANNOT stress enough how important it is to research your school board candidates for tomorrow. Most of them are often listed as non-partisan. You gotta drill down and find out who's for what and then vote out the Moms for Liberty worms that embedded themselves since 2020. It matters.

Once again, modeling the current electorate on the 2020 electorate requires an assumption that women have forgotten about Dobbs, everyone has forgotten about Jan 6, and those who survived Covid are politically identical to those who did not.

Just as a reminder: you definitely know someone who has had a miscarriage, you probably know someone who has had a 1st-trimester abortion, and you may know someone who has had a "late-term" abortion. Women don't often share their stories and they shouldn't have to.

Here's the Biden story that should be on the front page. Ten years ago, if we got $300 million for something like this, we in the climate community would've had a ticker tape parade in Lower Manhattan. The Biden-Harris Admin got $3000 million ($3B) and it's just one of dozens of giant climate wins.
