Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

In Honor of Joanna Macy, 1929-2025 I write while staying in one of the great forests of British Columbia, a forest in which the inextricability of life from death is gorgeously evident. Several kinds of fern spring from this soil, some...

A big win for Massachusetts: Republicans tried to kill off new clean energy projects, but we just forced them to take out that terrible provision.

There’s a lotta awful still in there. But pressure does matter. Keep it up.

Was this voted on in the overnight vote-a-arama? I was hoping it might get scrapped.

Some sad confirmation from @bcgl.bsky.social while I was at UW last week—the National Digital Newspaper Program—which builds Chronicling America—has been shut down
