This is really something. Important reporting work and definitely worth a few minutes.
1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs.

And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

Thank you for this excellent reporting. Please use your broad audience to educate on Kushner’s role in crafting this deal, which is just breaking. This seems a huge, unsurprising but underreported factor which points directly to likely Trump family enrichment through it. 1/

Donald Trump's administration is banning prayer outside a public building in the Chicago suburbs. Super curious how the right wing - including SCOTUS- squares this with their claims that religious expression is under attack from the left...

It takes a 2/3 votes in both houses of Congress (if the House ever even meets again) and then 38 out of 50 states, when 15 states currently have Democratic trifectas. Why would anyone waste time talking about this?

Trump may otherwise try to get a 3rd term before his SCOTUS, but not this

Social Security is NOT a handout.

It is a benefit earned with every paycheck, and it must be protected and expanded, not cut, privatized, or means-tested.

Anybody doing some organized pressure around this? A "bad Apple" campaign? A "There's an app for that but you're capitulating to fascists" campaign?

Ballot arrived today! Marked YES, signed the envelope, put in a nearby postbox. Easy peasy. Did you know that voting ASAP helps the YES on 50 campaign operate more efficiently? Plus it will take you off the list for calls and door knocks. Win/win. And speaking of winning, let’s DO IT Californians!

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

Dear @apnews.com

The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once.

Fix your headline.

Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year.

They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency.

Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.

Proposition 50, The Election Rigging Response Act, lets the voters decide on mid-decade redistricting.

DOJ has sued 8 states for protecting their citizens' sensitive voter registration data. My law firm has intervened to oppose DOJ's efforts in the first two states -- Maine and Oregon.

There is no basis in law for designating domestic terrorist organizations. Period. Trump can try to intimidate Americans, but no one should act like he has powers that he simply doesn’t have. This order is just a Truth Social post with bigger words.

Whatever else you think of him, I don't think he is insincere about this stuff, and it should be recognized as extraordinary that he, Pritzker, and other governors are talking about the federal government in these terms. It's not normal political rhetoric, it's the language of existential emergency.
Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."
