If you think you know why US newspapers died, this feature documentary now streaming for free on PBS might surprise you. It wasn't the Internet. Newspapers were specifically targeted by vulture capitalists. I composed the score for the film, which features electric cello & Crowfoot guitars.

This short passage from a Politico afternoon newsletter captures a huge amount of the advantage gained by lying at scale and the why the DC press corps remains wired for the GOP.

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it. This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

Braids are a great way to keep your hair out of your face, especially when ICE teargasses you. Also they don’t get caught in a respirator. 10/10 would recommend.

Also: The Third Reich didn't last a 1,000 years...because of a horrific war and tremendous sacrifice. Pinochet lasted decades - and there were many horrors in those years. He's got a point: it's not over and done. But turning back the tide might come with some very heavy costs.

Breaking — FEMA Acting Chief Counsel Colt Hagmaier just resigned in an email to staff. He's worked at the agency for more than a decade. Hagmaier's resignation comes immediately after two FEMA employees were placed on leave for comments about Charlie Kirk. Text of his email shared with me:

Pursuing A More Perfect Union
Hagmaier, Colt
Mon 9/15/2025 1:06 PM

Friends,

This nation was once no more than idea. Courageous whispers of dangerous thinking; a wild experiment to organize and preserve government not by despotism or dynasty, but through the continued consent of the governed. Like a hardy willow, our Republic endures upon a trunk of federalism that is both fixed and flexible.

Unity, not unanimity, is our strength - we are not stymied by our differences, we are made resilient by channeling those differences into public good. Our words matter. We ought to choose them carefully, stand behind them, and offer them with empathy and kindness. My faith in our nation, like our liberties, is secured by strong, prudent, and principled democratic institutions. Institutions administered by public servants sworn to place that public good above their own. We persevere not because our Union is perfect, rather because we never stop pursuing a more perfect one - together.

That is what I see here at FEMA every day. Each of you sustaining the integrity and function of our federal government. You bring hope to the hopeless and relief to the suffering. Your work is never easy, rarely appreciated, and often misunderstood or mischaracterized, but it is essential. Not only to those benefiting from it, but to the fabric of who we are as a people and a reflection of the humanity that unites us. Your effort is purposeful, noble, and compassionate. It has been my life's honor to serve alongside you in this virtuous mission of helping our communities and neighbors in their times of need.

Now, it is time for me to start a new path away from federal service. This has been an incredibly difficult decision over which I have reflected, prayed, and temporized. I care immensely about FEMA's mission and for you who deliver it every day. I am blessed to have worked alongside so many passionate, hardworking, and talented people throughout my FEMA career.

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish. The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

The effort to paint Charlie Kirk as some sort of model for practicing politics and a beloved figure across the spectrum is bizarre. Just a month ago, South Park was mocking him pretty mercilessly.

It isn’t “grace” to pretend to hand-wring over a man who called for violence, praised gun culture, dehumanized trans folks, and led young people into violent nationalism. It is disingenuousness at best, rank cowardice at worst. And it does harm. If your words whitewash a fascist, stop speaking.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.
