Opening our National Parks to private developers is a red line we cannot cross. I’m fighting to protect Yosemite and put an end to the administration’s brazen efforts to put profit above one of our most iconic parks.

As someone who has been flying for years, I can tell you that over the past few years, the entire experience has gotten worse. More delays, more unreliable aircraft, worse service. A great microcosm of America's enshittification. Meanwhile, the airline CEOS all make $$$. (Waiting 6 hours at DCA)

Why is anyone debating whether or not to “let Marjorie Taylor Greene into the tent”? She has not asked to be in a tent with you. Nothing indicates that she wants to be in it. She is positioning herself to appeal to people who hate your tent, and possibly to peel off a few people at the edges of it.

For all those who think Dems should rule out impeachment if we re-take the House in Nov because Trump won't be convicted...you have short memories. Trump was impeached before the 2020 election and then he lost. Hearings and investigations matter. Airing the truth matters. The Constitution matters.

I know these “interviews” with Justice Barrett are carefully scripted. But if she’s going to keeping urging Americans to “read the opinions,” and not just commentary, it sure would be nice if someone would ask her what we should do when—as is so often the case these days—there’s no opinion to read…
