I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.
Opinion | Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp.
This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

Trump and Elon made massive cuts to all US weather tracking and warning systems in the spring of 2025.
Trump on the Texas floods: "It's terrible. The floods? It's shocking. They don't know the answer yet as to how many people, but it looks like some young people have died."

My heart is with everyone impacted by the devastating floods across Texas—those who have lost loved ones & those still searching.

Many of the impacted families are from right here in Dallas. We’re mourning with you and praying for comfort, healing, & peace in the days ahead.

TX-30 stands with you.

Wondering why your 4th of July barbeque feels more expensive than last year?

Well, it is: since Trump announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs, cookout costs have risen at a 12.7% rate.

Is this what “freedom” is supposed to look like?

As Texas officials point to the National Weather Service failing to predict the amount of rain that caused this tragedy, it’s fair to wonder if the cuts made to the dept that many warned about played a role here.

(Now add FEMA cuts & hospital closures)

You don’t have to love America right now. Not the one under assault from a vengeful despot. But I do hope you care enough to reflect on the commitment of our founders to form a union & free the new nation from a mad king and the yoke of oppression—care enough to be willing to fight for America now.

Republicans claim to be pro-life. They are lying. They are only interested in controlling women, slashing Medicaid, SNAP and Veterans benefits and disappearing people without due process. This is not pro-life, it’s genocide.

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding.

When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic.

Well...here we are.
