An excellent update from Sen. Tim Kaine - I hear some people complaining, “why aren’t Dems speaking out?” Well, here y’go. youtu.be/NCIs-QLTzM4

Here’s a weather alert that’s severe - and it’s much more than a local story. bethesdamagazine.com/2025/02/06/m...

Will GOP Senators foist RFK Jr on America’s health system? His conformation hearing should have ended any doubts that he is dangerous. nypost.com/2025/01/28/o...

Whether or not the Trump administration’s actions are literally a coup, as Robert Hubbell suggests on Substack, the situation is dangerous. So many outrages at once make it hard (but necessary) to see the big, grim, picture. open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

Mr. Hamid counsels that Democrats should treat Trump as a normal politician. Meanwhile, Trump is energetically showing that he is anything but that. @ned777 www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Raising awareness (and understanding) of climate change is vital. mailchi.mp/1b94027e1fc3...

It’s hard to pick among the many, manyTrump actions that are cause for alarm, but … well, here’s one www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I just read "Climate Activists Need to Radically Change Their Approach Under Trump." Check it out!

It’s not enough, Mitch - surely the former “master” of the Senate had enough clout left to persuade at least one more GOP member to vote against this wholly unqualified nominee. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

We can be thankful that DJT didn’t say “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” apnews.com/article/trum...

Among the many wrong actions of his disastrous Day One, Trump “fired” Jose Andres; meanwhile, the man he insulted continued helping disaster victims. thehill.com/blogs/in-the...

Good insights into a problem that is almost certain to recur - and not just in California. us2.campaign-archive.com?e=4e056a0c4c...

I hope DC will retract the general ban on RTOR. Failing that, however, signs placed at selected intersections should make clear that RTOR is illegal throughout the city. Ambiguity is dangerous. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

A scenario for autocracy seems already playing out - particularly interesting is this article’s description of disunion among Orban’s opponents. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/o...

A sweeping abdication of responsibility and another move by America’s oligarchs to rally around the incoming would-be monarch. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/07/b...

Season’s greeting

Useful article - but it would take more than a bit of disinformation to deprive me of my delicious plant-based meat substitutes www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Liz Cheney calls Trump threat to jail her an ‘assault on the rule of law’

Card received from VP Harris shared with thanks for her hard-fought Presidential campaign.

I've been tracking a quiet wave of child care deregulation efforts for over a year. My new story looks at the consequences of these efforts for underpaid, overworked early educators and America's youngest children at their most pivotal time of brain development: hechingerreport.org/the-dark-fut...

@javerias.bsky.social takes us inside a program where college students try to work through disagreements and learn to listen to those from backgrounds different than their own hechingerreport.org/i-can-tell-y...

didn’t see quite the same level of outrage about these pardons

Even little kids are noticing the effects of climate change: My 3-year-old wondered why the sky looked fuzzy during a recent park fire. See my latest newsletter on how to teach the youngest learners about climate change: mailchi.mp/b29777a29f0e...
