Eight years ago I joined Project X, which later became known as @voxdotcom. There were 26 of us at launch. I never could have guessed how much it would change my life or how hard it would be to step away.

This is devastating. A dedicated park ranger, fired overnight, left wondering how to support his family. Public servants shouldn’t be political casualties. Our national parks and the people who protect them deserve better. #ProtectPublicService #NationalParks

In our suit over the CFPB, I'm thrilled to report that the court just issued an order against firings or reductions in force, destruction of data, or return of CFPB funds.

We had credible reports that RIFs were coming later today and that data destruction was imminent.

Remember those technologists I hired using an authority designed to bring private sector tech talent to gov? They were looking into big tech.

Trump just fired them. All of them.

@landmanspeaking @voxdotcom I’m so sorry to hear that.

I don’t think there is anyone in America - Republican, Democrat, independent; journalist, non-journalist - who can deny the fact that if Biden or Harris had simulated oral sex on a microphone at a rally on the eve of the election, there would be wall to wall coverage of it on cable, the front page of every paper in the land, and 24/7 demands for them to quit the race.

The debate over media bias and the pass that Trump gets, the total normalization of his abnormal behavior, is over, dead, done, finished. It’s indisputable at this point.

“A vote for him is a vote against us” — Michelle Obama appeal to men on women’s health, the importance of reproductive rights, and the horrors of Trump’s abortion bans is worth your time

Today, I have the solemn responsibility to be the first president to formally apologize to Native peoples – Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Native Alaskan – for what happened during the Indian Boarding School era.

It's long overdue.

Some misinformation in today's US presidential debate about who bears the cost of tariffs. So let's talk about how tariffs affect what you pay for a suit. 🧵

Today is one of the best days in ActBlue's history.

Democrats have raised over $35 million on ActBlue in the 13 hours since the Walz announcement, per their ticket.

About $2.7 million an hour.

Peak of $4 million in the hour that Walz spoke in Philadelphia.

The Kamala endorsements are coming in from all directions it seems

[EMILYs List @emilyslist]

We’re proud to endorse @kamalaharris as the next president of the United States because we know she is a qualified accomplished leader. She is the only candidate positioned to win against Trump in November, and the best voice to define the stakes in this election! #allinforkamala

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Joe Biden’s presidency has been transformational. He accomplished more in the past four years — to bring back jobs, stand up to big corporations, and build an economy that works for all of us — than we have been able to get done in the last forty. He deserves full credit for beating Donald Trump in 2020, and his selfless decision today gives us our best shot at doing it again in 2024. While Donald Trump tried to tear down our democracy to maintain his grip on power, Joe Biden willingly stepped aside in order to protect our democracy. President Biden’s selfless action is a profound gift to the people of the United States — and it’s on all of us not to waste it.

I endorse Kamala Harris for President. She is a proven fighter who has been a national leader in safeguarding consumers and protecting access to abortion. As a former prosecutor, she can press a forceful case against allowing Donald Trump to regain the White House. We have many talented people in our party, but Vice President Harris is the person who was chosen by the voters to succeed Joe Biden if needed. She can unite our party, take on Donald Trump, and win in November.

It’s funny being in a DC gym right now, absolutely no one is working out

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

One reason I doubt there’ll be a “mini primary” now is that I don’t think the other major candidates would run. There’s not enough time for them to win support. The process would be too unclear. Party is too exhausted. Harris looks too strong. (People shouldn’t underestimate how closely party elites have been watching her these last few weeks, and how much she’s shifted opinions in her favor.)

You might get some token opposition from people who want to raise their profiles, do CNN town halls, etc - which could be good for Harris because her win would be both contested and overwhelming — but strongly doubt you’d get Newsom, Whitmer (already said she won’t run), Shapiro, Beshear, etc. Safer for them to position for VP or 2028.

If Biden had stepped aside weeks ago it might’ve been different. If Jaime Harrison had been thinking through options rather than making himself a Biden-no-matter-what guy, maybe it would have been different. But that’s my read of where the party is now.

(Caveats: Everything is fluid, Biden might still just refuse to step aside, if Harris falters that could change sentiment, etc)

An actual hero.

This is what America First looks like when it’s a lived ethos, rather than a mask for narcissism and ambition.

@troutgirl @histoftech It was what inspired me to get a Costco membership $7.99 for a giant jar. It’s the best.
