The Solar for All program is a multi-billion dollar federal investment to help lower electricity costs & cut US energy poverty. The Trump Administration ended it. @carleysanya.bsky.social & I talked with @juliaradio.bsky.social & @jeffbradynews.bsky.social about it: www.npr.org/2025/08/08/n... 🔌 💡

Good morning! Taxing the wealth of the richest 1% of Americans down to the median wealth of the next-richest 9% ($5.2 million per household) would free up $48 trillion. Redistributing that to the poorest 50% of Americans would give *68 million households* an average of *$700k per household*.

The Post has done some of America's best climate journalism. They won a Pulitzer for climate, then grew the team to 30+ people. Exec editor Sally Buzbee called climate "perhaps the century’s biggest story."

If you ever want to feel like you live in “the ruins of a once great civilization,” then read a local daily paper from the middle of last century — our predecessors had more and better knowledge of their neighbors, their societies, and their local democracies than we do about our own.

Sports coverage is more than scores. It’s about the people, politics and cultural factors that drive it. Sports journalism adds vivid color and context to these dynamics. Without it, every sports fan suffers. Some of the best sports journalism all-time came from WaPo. Inexcusable loss.

Growing up (especially in the pre-internet 80s/90s) the best part of my morning= digging into the Washington Post sports section before school. It was everything. Then there was the Sunday paper with a big breakfast, the best combo. So many talented people let go because of another evil Billionaire.

It’s also important to note the importance of physical newspapers for accidentally reading things you might not have read ordinarily. And as I keep saying, give kids a chance to read something in their house.
Every time there is a mass layoff I hope people remember that newsletters cannot save us. The Free Press started as a newsletter but came to influence as something more like a newspaper (without the journalism).
We need to somehow invest in media infrastructure, not a thousand little ladders.
