After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

Susan Crawford, a Dane County judge, defeated Brad Schimel, a Waukesha County judge and former Republican attorney general who embraced the president. Democrats saw Crawford’s victory as a sign that they can flip Congress in the midterm elections and make gains in the Senate. wapo.st/4j7JERY

Yesterday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a Cabinet meeting: "We are going to eliminate FEMA." FEMA’s work is a vital resource for Americans recovering from wildfires, hurricanes, floods, and more—it should be strengthened, not gutted.

When we keep saying "don't let them steal your joy", this is what we mean. This article really captures how we underestimate the importance of kindness in our lives. Great article!

Kristi Noem has no idea what FEMA does and has no business overseeing its operations, much less calling for its dismantling. Real people will suffer and die if this happens! 1/2

The problem is, there isn't a single person in the Trump administration capable of improving anything. Not a one of them. So no, they can't improve FEMA or anything else. They can rage, destroy, dismantle, hate, blow things up and, once in a while, do weird things like rename things. That's it.

Today marks 15 years since the Affordable Care Act became law. When Republicans tried to repeal it, John McCain stood up to his party and voted no. Now with Trump about to gut Medicaid, do any Republicans have the courage to oppose his plan and protect Americans' health care?

We just had one of the most eye-opening conversations with none other than Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. Every single one of you should hear this because what we talked about goes far beyond Kentucky. It’s about what’s at stake for every working family in this country.

A harmful budget that funds Trump & Musk’s government take down and to cuts services working people rely on just passed. A temporary lapse in funding would be better than this CR. We are disappointed at the refusal of Leader Schumer & Senate Democrats to oppose this bill.

Elon Musk wants the world to believe that the nimble tech sector has already figured out the keys to knowledge-worker productivity, and that those findings can be applied to the federal government. But that premise is faulty, Cal Newport writes.

We are dealing with a Trump “regime” and not a “government by the people and for the people.” The Trump regime is “against the people.” The “government” is already shut down by Trump. Do not support a CR that is complicit with an authoritarian regime. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
