Gavin is turning into a huge disappointment. Ugh. Charlie Kirk was bad enough.
In the midst of an all-out authoritarian assault on the constitutional order and democratic self-government, when the nominal opposition party should be sending a clear signal to the public that this is an emergency, the Democratic Governor of California goes: “Welcome, Steve Bannon!”

I don’t want him to step down. But this one gesture is what a true leader would do. It’s a powerful statement. He loves the people of Ukraine.

It’s time to start wrapping our heads around the real possibility that collective action and even a general strike are required. Musk is working fast to solidify control, do as much damage as possible, and party “opposition” is not up to the fight. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/collective...

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.
Hearing reports that Musk’s cronies are targeting NOAA — infiltrating key systems and locking out career employees. NOAA is vital for weather forecasting, scientific research and more. Their critical work saves lives. My team and I are looking into this and we will not stand for it.

I want to be clear: the private sector, as it presently exists, *cannot* quickly spin up to fill any void left by substantial dismantling of #NOAA. Full stop. If that were to happen, people would die in extreme weather events who would not have otherwise, & economy would suffer.

That's because it's unconstitutional and also fascist
Fun one from today that nobody seems to be clocking amidst all the more substantive chaos. The White House comms department is now declaring that Trump can now "sign [an] executive order into law" without a bill passing Congress. Have never seen this language from a prior White House.

Trump blaming last night's tragic crash on "DEI" isn't just racist nonsense. It’s part of his divide and conquer strategy. He wants to get us so riled up against one another that we don’t look upward and see where all the power and wealth have gone.

This an ugly way to begin the four-year process whereby Americans relearn that the US government a) does all kinds of things they need but don't even know about, b) well, despite c) being chronically understaffed.
