It's driving me batty that nobody except Heather Cox Richardson, the Washington Monthly, and myself is covering Trump's race to sell off (for likely demolition) "the Sistine Chapel of the New Deal," w/ murals by Ben Shahn, Philip Guston, etc. I've furnish links below to help reporters get started.

I missed it here 😢😢😢 But, watched/heard Patricia Smith on livestream, which was amazing.

Poet Patricia Smith reads at Boutille-Day poetry Ctr Smith College, followed by discussion. All live-streamed. 🙏🏼💗

Wow poet Patricia Smith rocks it at Smith College poetry center this evening. Way to amaze , and keep it real 💕 So grateful for the live-streaming!!!

NEW: Last night, a federal judge issued a permanent block on the Trump administration's deployment of National Guard troops to Oregon.

This is a win for the rule of law. No troops on our streets – anywhere.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Trump once called COVID vaccines “one of the greatest miracles in the history of modern-day medicine.”

Now, his health secretary RFK Jr. cancelled $500 million in promising vaccine research.

Trump was right. RFK Jr is wrong. Vaccines save lives.

The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives — but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked…

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture.

EPA Releases Proposal to Rescind Obama-Era Endangerment Finding, Regulations that Paved the Way for Electric Vehicle Mandates | US EPA The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin released the agency’s proposal to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which has been used to justify over $1 trillion in regu...

Lee Zeldin, Trump’s EPA chief, plans to revoke the 2009 “endangerment finding”, the EPA’s legal basis for regulating climate pollution. This isn’t rollback. It’s sabotage. Without it, the EPA can’t limit emissions from cars, power plants, or industry. Decades of progress gone.

While Trump played a round at his coastal golf course, thousands across Scotland took to the streets in protest. Bagpipes blared, signs waved, and the message was clear: he’s not welcome here. Love you, Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 💚

The Big Beautiful Bill gives Meta a $15 billion check.

That’s more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year.

If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, we’d create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.

This is a horrific abdication of their responsibilities to students, alums, faculty, staff, to themselves, their peers.

The start of a painting. A face. By Jorge Soto Sanchez

I’ve donated archival material for Nuyorican artist Jorge Soto Sanchez (1947-1987) to the Archives of American Art. It will help people to learn about him.

Americans’ electricity bills are predicted to rise by as much as 18% over the next decade, thanks to cuts to clean energy production in Trump’s big, ugly bill.

Red states are likely to see the biggest increases.

Trump put his Big Oil donors over his own voters.
