I love “Letters From an American.” It hits my inbox every morning and is the most comprehensive analysis of current events through a historical lens I’ve come across.
What do you read frequently that puts things into perspective?

It’s not just about the economy. It’s also about the data, especially the personal data. Dr. @hcrichardson.bsky.social does a great job explaining the troubling access DOGE has to all kinds of personal data as they rampage through the government. People need to be arrested!

The 9/11 Commission found problems in the transition between Clinton/Bush administrations contributed to the failures which led to the 9/11 attacks.
I’m torn up about this administration’s impact on social issues but is anyone else worried about National Security? This is a Mach 5 dumpster fire.

I remember when the 2024 election was called and shortly after thinking, “At least we’ll get the ‘alt’ agency accounts back.”
Call it dissent, call it guerrilla government, I don’t care. I’m here for the snark.
Be well and do great work.

Afghans who worked alongside the U.S. and are now persecuted cannot access safety if pathways are closed, suspended, or defunded.
We must act to protect those who risked everything for our shared values.

My office just got a phone call from a domestic violence shelter — the only one serving multiple counties — that says they may have to close their doors if President Trump doesn’t reverse course.

We’ve been receiving calls from people in VA-04. All of them are confused, fearful for their futures and their livelihoods.
The impact of this absurd move can't be overstated.
