It's Tuesday, and I'm on my way back to DC. We've got a big week ahead fighting to get Elon out of Treasury, out of our data, and out of government. I’ll be outside treasury today to say: No unelected billionaire should have control of the government.

couple years ago i did a study of the strategies people used to defend professors who had been accused of sexual impropriety in their labs/departments. overwhelmingly the most common one was that he’s a special genius and mediocre minds want to deprive us of his brilliance. this thinking is RAMPANT

i think that the people interested in recriminations and score settling right now aren’t seriously grappling with the magnitude of what happened and the implications for the rest of our lives. most of us will probably die living in the political order that will emerge out of this election.

Today, like most days, is a good day to re-read @drkatemarvel.bsky.social's seminal essay We Need Courage, Not Hope, to Face Climate Change. "Courage," she writes, "is the resolve to do well without the assurance of a happy ending."

They’re talking about my friends. Good folks who work hard & are in public service not for the money, but to make people’s lives better. Folks whose name you’ll never know but they make sure the water you drink or food you eat doesn’t make you or your family sick. Project 2025 wants you to suffer.

I have a handful of advance copies of my book Multisolving & I'd like to give one away. So lets do something fun. Reply to this thread with a photo of a multisolving example with a few words about why you love it. I'll pick (at random) one reply & send the book to the poster.

Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is how a lot of climate leaders freaked out when David Wallace Wells’s article “The Uninhabitable Earth” came out(before the book) bc they said it was too alarmist, too worst-case scenario and it was bad to scare people. And yet…
