Heather Cox Richardson is probably the one person who could convince me of anything. Never would have guessed that Gavin Newsom was such a thoughtful and learned sage! I may be a convert.

My favorite poet, Andrea Gibson, has died. While I never got to meet Andrea or see them speak, their poetry has had a profound impact on my life. Their quote “the truth may not be hopeful, but the telling of it is” lives on the bulletin board above my desk to remind me why I do this work in news.

Tesla now accepts Cybertruck trade-ins, and the official resale loss is $35k over just 6,000 miles.

I repeat: according to Tesla itself a Cybertruck loses $5.60 cents per mile, not counting the cost of electricity, tires, etc.

Unprecedented levels of flop!

If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat.

In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.

It’s disgusting and dangerous.

If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.

Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.

To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Sounds like this guy would make a good Senate minority leader
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Be educated
Wow. Just wow. How Trump set the tariff rates. This is blithering, staggering, mind-boggling, jaw-cracking, gums-bleeding stupidity.

This is the way
I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader.

We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

Perhaps a sign protests are working? Could be that people really don’t want to buy their car from a megalomaniacal fascist 🤷‍♂️

Finally some spectacularly good news in this year of endless catastrophe. MSNBC has called the Wisconsin Supreme Court race in favor of Susan Crawford, apparently thwarting the efforts of Elon Musk. Folks this is one of the most important races, if not THE most important, in 2025. Keep hope alive!

Can confirm. I was there the next night for the repeat.
An absolutely incredible night.

Overwhelmed. What a joyful collection of humans.
EXCLUSIVE: Tonight at the Kennedy Center, Guster brought on cast members from Finn, an LGBTQ+ kids musical that was recently canceled when Trump took over the center. They performed the band’s song “Hard Times” to a standing ovation.

On Wisconsin

A 🧵

After the 2020 election in Ohio (I was in my final month chairing the party then), I got a call from an important person to ask me what had happened here.

This person didn't sound at all happy.

This rabbit hole runs deep AF. 🤯
Did someone mention Greenland? 👇
👀 Praxis is a Thiel-backed “network state” project that aims to build its OWN COUNTRY. In Nov, Praxis founder Dryden Brown wrote about wanting Greenland 4 Praxis. In Dec, Trump named Thiel partner Ken Howery as ambassador to Denmark & said the US shld buy Greenland. Praxis & Dryden are thrilled...1/
