Document signed at yesterday's peace summit in Egypt outlines only broad principles for Gaza's future, highlighting ongoing challenges to achieving lasting resolution to the conflict.
Trump, leaders of Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey signed the agreement. The warring parties—Israel and Hamas, did not.

Good morning.

Democrats have no obligation to vote for a budget that funds corruption and totalitarianism.

Trump is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy our democracy and pad the pockets of billionaires.

People don't want Democrats to wilt. They want us to fight.

A huge landmark in journalism history seems to have come to pass a while ago: when @hcrichardson.bsky.social outstripped the Washington Post in online readership. An old world is dying, a new world is being born [Jeff Bezos is a monster].

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

I'm grateful that we power our home and most of our transportation with solar panels that we own so our energy bills are very low, but it's ridiculous that the Trump administration is deliberately raising electricity costs in their craven attempt to assist outdated fossil fuel companies.

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

Hoping this will pass in MA. While our NY law is being challenged in court, I'm grateful it is law and think we will be able to enforce it at some point.

A reminder that COVID is still a threat. COVID has long-lasting impacts on multiple body systems, even among those lucky enough to have mild symptoms initially. Take steps to stay healthy and as safe as possible.

On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives.

Today, in response, we brought our own graphs.

We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.

Trump and Republicans spread lies and scapegoat immigrants to distract you from how they are picking your pockets.

Do not be fooled.

Great piece, Michael! New York needs to make this transition to renewable energy quickly - for the sake of our health, our economy, our environment, and our climate.
