Alex Jones’s appeal was DENIED by the Connecticut Supreme Court, upholding our $1 billion+ verdict against him and Infowars on behalf of Sandy Hook families and a first responder. Good day for justice. Bad day for Alex Jones.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

Okay, all: Trying something a little different: I comandeered my politics Substack for a personal essay about the 3x I was recruited by the CIA—and why I walked away. Had fun writing it; hope you’ll give it a read + share.
