One of the last things Bill Moyers did before he passed away this year was sending us this review of our new book MASTER PLAN. From the start, he was a huge supporter of this book project. Bill was a steadfast ally & friend to me. I miss him & feel lucky to have known him.

I think the no kings protests are incredibly important in red states because it's important for people in the political minority to know they're not alone and truly understand their numbers.

Trump's Truth Social account just posted this AI video of him flying a fighter jet that reads "King Trump." AI Trump is wearing a crown while he dumps shit on protesters. He's such a pathetic little man.

Important: Sen Chris Murphy just sent pointed questions to Kristi Noem about DHS's account of shooting of US citizen by Trump's paramilitary forces in Chicago. The official line is imploding. Murphy wants Noem to explain why DHS misled. More like this, Ds. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2019...

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

UCLA’s funds reinstated after yesterday’s court order! Thanks to the brave researchers and their amazing counsel, including Dean Chemerinsky, who brought suit. This is just another turn in the ongoing fight, but a great result for now.

Step 1: Start a dumbass trade war with China (and Brazil). Step 2: Lose Chinese soybean market to Brazil. Step 3: Bail out your nutty right wing buddy Javier Milei. Step 4: Lose soybean market to Milei, too. Steph 5: Make taxpayers pay for your stupidity.
