13 years since that unspeakable day in Sandy Hook. 13 years of growing a movement to make sure kids feel safe everywhere. 13 years of heroes living with pain and grief yet still speaking truth to power.

Former Sec. of the Interior @debhaalandnm.bsky.social is running to be the next Governor of New Mexico. We talk her campaign, the Trump Administration’s deregulation of laws protecting our environment and wildlife, and how being a community organizer is a part of her DNA.

I’m no great fan of the ACA.
I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.
But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

I just did an internet search for “Trump falls asleep in Oval Office” and found a couple stories from small left-leaning outlets and some foreign press.
Major American corporate media outlets or local news? Not so much.

Trying to figure out what #SCOTUS just did with #SNAP, and why Justice Jackson temporarily froze the district court's ruling?
Via "One First," me on what's going on—and why I think Jackson's move was savvy, notwithstanding the awful circumstances that forced it:

190. SNAP WTF?
A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?
He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

People fought and died to defend our democracy.
We need a government and an economy that work for all of us, not just a handful of wealthy campaign donors.
That's the nationalism I believe in.

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.
12 days of work in 107 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I'm sorry, but when you lose by 13 points, contesting the election is not really an option. Republicans spent yesterday spreading lies about the election. We will see more of it in the days and weeks ahead as the margin of victory fades from our memory. 2026 will be a real test of our democracy.
A good sign we shouldn't overlook from yesterday's elections: the losing candidates, largely Republicans, seem to have accepted their losses. A nice change from Trump.

Stop the doubling of health care premiums for 20 million Americans. Stop 15 million from losing their health care. Immediately reopen the government.
