A few pics from yesterday's huge No Kings 2.0 Rally in NYC - one of over 2,600 events held around the country (and the world). Over 7 million in attendance - the largest protest rally in American history!

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.
Republicans in Washington did this.
This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I just went on Fox News to tell the truth about the redistricting power grab in Texas.
I asked a simple question: “If Republican policies are so popular, why do they need to redraw these maps; why not run on their policies?”
He refused to answer — and cut the interview early.

My immediate thoughts on the most monstrous, immoral piece of legislation I’ve ever voted on in the Senate.
But I’m not done fighting. I know you aren’t either.

Trump's reconciliation bill is the most dangerous bill I have seen in my time in Congress.
– 17 million lose health care
– 20% cut to food aid for families
– Adds more to the debt than any bill in history
– Energy bills spike 30%
– Guts US clean energy and cedes our edge to China

Thrilled for my friend (and legendary Broadway poster artist) Frank "Fraver" Verlizzo - his first mystery novel, SCENERY OF THE CRIME, was published today. I've read it and it is terrific fun! Available now at Amazon, B&N, Camel Press, and Bookshop.org.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

If only the New York Times had made this big of a deal in December 2022 when Trump called for “termination” of the Constitution. (That ran on Page 13. Yes, Page 13.)

I took this pic of then Vice President Joe Biden in the Oval Office back in September 2015. I’ll never forget how, during the 2020 campaign, he would make a point of saying the press is NOT the enemy of the people. Thinking of President Biden as he takes on this next battle. Godspeed Mr. President.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.
We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.
