In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

In the last month, the FBI has charged players from two different leagues for roles in sports-betting scandals.

Either legalized gambling is exposing corruption that’s always been there.

Or it’s creating it.

Either answer is terrible for sports.

Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages.

Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.

They weren't terrorists. They weren't cartel members. They had no fentanyl. And they weren't coming here.

They were transporting cocaine. To Trinidad.

Most importantly, they were human beings.

And they were murdered.

The anti-smoking playbook is worth studying and learning from, and is completely applicable to oversized cars.

We’ve all now seen the iconic photo of Trump staring soulless, expressionless, into the void as others assisted the fainted Gordon Findlay, an executive at Nova Nordisk, behind him.

Have you seen the (then) live video of Trump fast asleep beforehand?

“Predatory property speculators are renovicting people out of their homes and running illegal Airbnbs, while new housing is geared to foreign owners and the ultra-wealthy. Property owners are routinely allowed to let abandoned buildings fall apart rather than be forced to make them useable again.”
