Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Teddy Roosevelt established the U.S. Forest Service. Trump and Musk are taking their buzzsaw not just to the New Deal and Great Society but to the gains of the Progressive Era when the modern state was established. The Gilded Age Robber Barons are back! www.sfgate.com/california/a...

Federal funding cuts are crushing California's small mountain towns

Calif. mountain towns are surrounded by public lands. They're already dealing with the fallout of cuts to the U.S. Forest Service and land management agencies.

I wish democrats would spend less effort dunking on regretful Trump supporters and more effort reaching out to them. Do you want to win elections or do you want to feel superior?

Ever since Deadspin, I have kept a folder of all-time-great principled resignation letters. This may be the best one I've ever seen.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

Straight up lie. Funds approved specifically by congress to support cities experiencing major inflo of immigrants - in many cases bused in by states like Texas.
