It's Tuesday, and I'm on my way back to DC. We've got a big week ahead fighting to get Elon out of Treasury, out of our data, and out of government. I’ll be outside treasury today to say:

couple years ago i did a study of the strategies people used to defend professors who had been accused of sexual impropriety in their labs/departments. overwhelmingly the most common one was that he’s a special genius and mediocre minds want to deprive us of his brilliance. this thinking is RAMPANT

i think that the people interested in recriminations and score settling right now aren’t seriously grappling with the magnitude of what happened and the implications for the rest of our lives. most of us will probably die living in the political order that will emerge out of this election.

Today, like most days, is a good day to re-read @drkatemarvel.bsky.social's seminal essay We Need Courage, Not Hope, to Face Climate Change. "Courage," she writes, "is the resolve to do well without the assurance of a happy ending."
We Need Courage, Not Hope, to Face Climate Change | The On Being Project
Where do we go when we are beyond hope? A climate scientist reflects on the courage we need to accept that we must continue to pursue solutions, even in the face of failure.

They’re talking about my friends. Good folks who work hard & are in public service not for the money, but to make people’s lives better. Folks whose name you’ll never know but they make sure the water you drink or food you eat doesn’t make you or your family sick. Project 2025 wants you to suffer.
“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down so that the EPA can't do all of the rules against our energy industry.”
“Put Them in Trauma”: Inside a Key MAGA Leader’s Plans for a New Trump Agenda
Private videos reveal Trump adviser Russ Vought’s “shadow” plans for using the military on protesters, defunding the EPA and villainizing civil servants.
