As we watch the selling continue on Wall Street today (futures down 400 as I type, but could bounce back!) it’s crucial to understand this Trump Administration’s approach to the stock market, which is dramatically different from his first term.

Had a great time at the @sacrepublicfc.bsky.social home opener last night! So wonderful to see kids running around together, excitedly cheering for their team. And the @sacbattalion.bsky.social sounded great! Vamos, Republic!

“Successfully fighting a wildfire requires more than people digging line or cutting fire breaks with chainsaws. It also involves people who call grazing lessees to tell them to evacuate their cows, provide food for firefighters in the field & map the resources that the firefighters need to protect.”

“Creating a firehose of news until people became overwhelmed by the task of trying to figure out what was real and simply tuned out… This system replaced the concept of voters choosing their leaders with the concept of voters rubber-stamping the leaders they had been manipulated into backing.”

To be clear, the "menace" Trump is railing against was the single most important anti-corruption reform in decades. The "invasive" rule merely asked the owners of shell companies to divulge their identities to the Treasury Dept.

Corrupt? Sure. But also directly dangerous? And how! FAA has done careful, long testing /study of new tower-communication system. Now a rush to switch to system that *just happens* to be owned by Mr. Efficiency himself, Elon. (Has he even been to an ATC facility? Probably like Vance re Ukraine)

The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach. www.tsunami.gov

The mass firing of both new hires and recently promoted senior staff within #NOAA, including mission-critical and life-saving roles at the National Weather Service (#NWS), is profoundly alarming. 1/11

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

I have probably listened to this soundtrack 300+ times since age 11 and this song gives me goosebumps each time, but in this context: even more so.

Trump’s focus on the California coastal commission is another example of how “permitting reform” discourse undermines environmental law. YIMBYs always complain about it. Alas, there will no additional housing by eliminating the CCC. But there will definitely be lost access to public beaches.

Due to President Trump’s hiring freeze, regional monitoring for northern spotted owls either won’t occur or will be greatly reduced. This leaves conservation agencies without crucial information needed to prevent the imperiled owls from sliding into extinction. Details ➡️ biodiv.us/3QrHZdx
