Anyone living near these 71 coal plants, 71 chemical plants, 40 sterilizers, or 20 steel-or copper-related facilities exempted from clean-air regulations under Trump's EPA should really put their vote where their mouth is (pun?). nytimes.com/2026/10/24/clima…

This is one of the most astonishing stories I've ever read.
"The Defector" - a 5,500-word espionage tale in today's WSJ that I can guarantee is worth your time.
I spent months speaking to one of the deadliest saboteurs in recent military history, a Russian officer who helped Kyiv kill hundreds of his fellow troops wsj.com/world/russian-defect…

Some secrets never grow old.
My review of "Grow Old and Don't Die by Ari Phillips is live on the website.
@re_ari penned a strange, atmospheric story of immortality, family secrets, and a hidden spring in West Virginia. You might even get some comments from the spirit of George Washington.

This is more activisty than I usually get, but these are weird times.
In collab with Harvard's Env Law & Policy Clinic, I authored a letter objecting to rescission of the #RoadlessRule, made public here so that you can draw upon it in your own comments.

The Trump Administration is preparing to categorically exclude a large swath of Alaska's North Slope from environmental reviews. How many enticements does it take to get companies to drill in the Arctic? news.oilandgaswatch.org/post…

Get lost in a new book! Coming 9/15/26 - Grow Old and Don’t Die by @re_ari #books #novel #comingsoon #BooksWorthReading
As a former paperboy, I found this @newyorker.com piece highly evocative. Fortunately, I never had any troubling encounters like Hessler did. My unique angle is that I rollerbladed my route. newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…
This is actually ridiculous, @washingtonpost . You've become unrecognizable. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Wow. One day after Washington Post leaders slash local coverage to just 12 people across the entire region, @BaltimoreBanner announces it is expanding further into the DC suburbs, taking on the state's second-largest county with almost a million residents, after having already expanded into its largest, Montgomery.
Hey, look, it's GOOD media news! @BaltimoreBanner and @bannermoco are coming to Prince George's County. 🗞️
