Good afternoon from Washington, where yesterday’s snowfall is melting faster than ethics standards and watchdogs in the Trump administration. Glad to see more folks subscribing to Civic Texts today: thank you.

Good morning from frigid Washington DC. It was quite a week. Thank you to new subscribers and long-standing members. Like many of you, I have been following the torrent of executive actions Trump has taken since he was sworn in on Monday. If you need to tune out to protect your mental health, I get it. Switching your civic information diet to "slow news" in print may be healthier for many people.

Good evening from Washington, where I’m feeling cautious optimism about a ceasefire in Gaza, followed by a surge in humanitarian aid and return of hostages to their families. Thanks to everyone who has subscribed to CivicTexts since I last wrote, particularly the members who are supporting this work. The information environment we see in the United States in January 2025 is bad. It’s all about to get much worse, I think, at historically hysterical levels.

Good evening from Washington, where more snow is inbound later tonight. If you’re receiving this newsletter, it’s because you subscribed to Civic Texts: so glad to see more of you in this new year! Many thanks to everyone who tuned in, turned on, and kept up in 2024. My analytics say that 50-60% of you consistently are opening each dispatch. Based on my experience sending email newsletters over the past two decades, that's phenomenal and speaks you wanting to hear from me.
