Thutmose III spent his reign chiseling a woman out of Egyptian history. He's remembered for failing at it. Trump demolished the East Wing and paved the Rose Garden, where I stood in April 2023 for the creation of the White House Office of Environmental Justice, which he terminated. My new Substack:

Two federal courts found Trump's ballroom unlawful. Yesterday, Chief Justice Roberts set that aside in one sentence, with no rationale whatsoever. Our house is the People's House. It wasn't Trump's to tear down.

Wisconsin, my birth state, is dear to my heart. At the state Dem convention in Madison, I spoke to the Environmental Caucus and on the Politics of Place panel. Conversations kept coming back to land and water — wake boats, PFAS, data center, the Boundary Waters. And climate. Winning issues, all.
