I accidentally bumped some chat button on Facebook when looking up the hours of a restaurant I like. Now every morning, I get an automated message from the restaurant asking me if I’m still here and I still need help. Thanks, chat bot, but I ask myself these questions every morning anyway.

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.

Tired of reading statements that Trump's fascist actions "raise serious questions" when they raise serious answers. As in, yes, the answer is "he's a fascist."

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.

Yesterday, Oct 10th, was three years since I started the script for our horror film, Dead Media. I spent the anniversary doing promo for our two Los Angeles screenings coming up in October and cutting a new trailer for the film’s imminent debut on streaming. Notebooks are weird time travel.

A notebook page with a little drawing of a skull. The text reads: the adventure begins! Tuesday, October 10. Starting script file quickly before I need to record a podcast. Onward! Right now the film is called Dead Media. It’s a future film I intend to make, I don’t know why I switched to lowercase. ONWARD!

Hey friends, I co-wrote a song with the incredible Rolling Stone-lauded Alaskana artist Josh Fortenbery. The working title was "fuck Elon," because he put over a million dollars into an Alaska ballot measure to repeal dark money laws. The final title is "Bound to Fail," which we hope AK Prop 2 is.
