It’s absolutely the right call and fucking surreal that our public schools have to close because of the threat posed by OUR OWN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I am beyond livid.
This the right call.
Please check in with neighbors who may need support with childcare.

An attack on Greenland would trigger Article 5 of the NATO treaty requiring them to respond to US aggression.
Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:
-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

Insanity: Sources close to the White House told the Washington Post Trump lost interest in backing Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado to lead the country because she accepted her Nobel Peace Prize rather than demanding it be given to Trump, which was viewed as an “ultimate sin.”

Shortly before I finished edits on MORE EVERYTHING FOREVER, an economist warned me against proposing a wealth tax with a cap on maximum net worth. He told me it was too unpopular and people would say I was out of touch with reality. I seriously considered listening to him.
I'm really glad I didn't.

Setting aside the sheer moral depravity for a moment, Donald Trump attacking Rob Reiner after his murder is only going to serve as an accelerant to the growing public opinion that he is out-of-touch (affordability), cruel (ICE), and unfit for office (mental/physical health).

I asked Chris Murphy if he privately talks to Dem colleagues about why they don't sound the alarm loudly. His answers were depressing. Dems tell him they don't want to be "alarmist" or that "democracy" didn't work in 2024, so they want to stick to health care. 5/

In my opinion, the 2nd most important election this November (after CA Redistricting) is the trio of Pennsylvania State Supreme Court retention elections.
Many in PA are unaware, and we need to fix that.
All 3 Justices MUST be retained.
