Blue states fund the federal government. Past time for that to stop.
The Trump administration sent out letters tonight to 5 blue states, freezing about $10 billion in funding for child care and social services programs pending a "thorough review," citing concerns over "systemic fraud."
5 Democratic-run states are told that their child care funds have been frozen
The suspension of the funds could hurt low-income families in those states, depending on how long it lasts, advocates say.

My latest book The Starseekers is out today! And in a twist it’s oddly topical despite being set in the 1960s.
NASA, student protests, humans vs computers, education, PBS, and museum heist are a few themes I can easily match to current headlines.
Which makes it’s fun and very interesting 😅!

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.
We must speak plainly: January 6th was an attempted coup. It was an effort to nullify millions of lawful votes and subvert the will of the American people.

If you've got an audience, especially a podcast or some sort of show, and you are not encouraging your audience to do something tangibly good for the community at large I am not entirely sure of what the point of cultivating an audience is beyond money.

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

WICKED being banned text is the level of on-the-nose that 2026 deserves.
The Utah legislature has banned 3 more books for Utah school kids in their misguided efforts to protect children from... ideas and thinking. This time, it's Wicked, Jodi Picoult's Nineteen Minutes, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
I hate this.

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis.
Impeachment must be on the table.
