Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

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.

Sharon Begley was one of the best reporters I’ve ever worked with. This is special
pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

it's really weird to have developed super specialized knowledge of the art industry and art crime for three years and then just suddenly stop developing it or reporting on it due to a layoff; but this happens to so many reporters and then I see discussions about declining public trust in the media

This is incredibly important. It's first principles for America.
Of course a plain reading of the Constitution and precedent says Trump can't use the military as domestic law enforcement. But the right isn't into plain readings of the Constitution these days. www.thebulwark.com/p/founders-t...
The Founders Would Abhor Trump’s Domestic Deployments
And the notion that courts can’t review his National Guard decisions is baseless.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.
The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.
