Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer.
If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up.
If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

It’s fun seeing all the love for Vermont right now. We are indeed a mighty little state. We are also a complex one, and our history is fascinating. If you are newly obsessed with Vermont history and protest, check out my 1960s-set crime novel.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

There is something so unbelievably awful about this scam. It exploits the lifelong dreams of artists, the uncertainties of a career in publishing, and the secret, fragile hopes that authors hold about their work someday finding a larger audience. Shameful.

Thinking so much about everyone in Southern California. We were just out there seeing friends and family and now some have lost their homes and all are suffering amidst this unfathomable trauma and loss. Hoping for some lucky breaks for the brave men and women fighting these fires.
