It feels weird, but I'm excited to say I just submitted all the chapters of my forthcoming book for first edits 🤩. It's about family money, wealth management, and poverty governance (surprise!). It's about systems of extraction and generational wealth. It's about laws, geographies, and narratives.

New, from me: The Trump administration is killing Direct File, the free IRS e-filing tool.
Users love it, and it creates incredible value for the public.

It's the clearest sign that DOGE wants a government that serves private and not public interests. 🧵

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

The “theory of change” was that intellectuals and insiders could take care of the policy and the politics would take care of itself. The result was a catastrophe out of which almost nothing lasting was achieved.

I've seen three different articles on this, because the guy who owns the company that makes this stuff reached out to the press. He's got 400,000 boxes of life-saving goo sitting in a warehouse, and if USAID won't accept it, he's going to have to throw it out.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.
