2026-10-28T00:30:21Z

It’s been a remarkable week for democracy. Voters in Brazil and Serbia have defeated movements led by would-be authoritarians, following Hungary’s rejection of Viktor Orbán six months ago. These victories show that even when leaders capture the media, tilt the rules in their favor, and enlist powerful allies abroad, people can still fight back. Next Tuesday, Americans have the chance to do the same. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/democracy-is-on-the-march

2026-10-26T16:25:49Z

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today.

Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man. Just last month, on Sept. 14, he turned 90, on the same day Brad and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I will always treasure that he and I shared that date.

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too.

Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course.

Trump's DOJ sued California, threatened election officials with jail time, and staged arrests in the final days before the midterm elections.

Two weeks until Election Day and the closing arguments are something. Ramaswamy exploited his opponent’s childhood trauma in an ad Trump unsurprisingly praised. Big names hit the trail for Democrats. And in a gross display of groveling, Steve Witkoff called Putin a humanitarian hours before Russia bombed Kyiv.

A campaign ad should tell voters what a candidate stands for. Too often this year, we’ve seen something else: personal smears, fearmongering, and attacks on people who are already vulnerable. From the exploitation of Amy Acton’s childhood trauma to anti-trans ads bankrolled by Elon Musk, the politics of fear is on full display. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/2026-midterm-final-argument-ads

Trump’s effort to undermine the midterms is already underway, and it starts with deciding whose ballots are suspect. His Justice Department wants California to set votes aside based on claims it admits it can’t verify. The right to vote means little if those in power can decide which votes count.

Democracy is not something we inherit. It is something we protect, election by election, vote by vote. Early voting is already open in many states and Election Day is just 18 days away.

First, make sure you are registered. Then check your state’s early voting dates at the link, make your plan, and show up. The stakes have never been higher and we cannot afford to sit this one out. Pass this along and let’s make sure everyone we know is ready to vote. https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/

Trump promised DOGE checks, tariff rebates, and a $5,000 "Trump dividend" if Republicans hold Congress. Most of it was noise. But $500 checks are quietly going out to nearly a million ACA enrollees just weeks before the midterms, framed as refunds for Obamacare overcharges.

Another corruption story, and the sheer volume makes it hard to absorb one before the next arrives. But the challenge is bigger than keeping track. We have to understand what allowed this to happen, why the guardrails failed, and what it will take to rebuild them.

This week's headlines might seem unrelated: more tone-deaf AI slop from the White House, data center pushback dismissed as a "Chinese psyop," a Senate candidate defending a predator's sweetheart deal, and Republicans breaking with Trump over the costly war in Iran. Together, they show a party that won't answer for its own choices.

The problems at the Pentagon go far beyond the operational failures of the Iran war. Under Pete Hegseth, the department is deteriorating in three distinct ways: purging officials deemed insufficiently loyal, rewarding allies while restricting the press, and forcing the military to absorb the operational cost of decisions its own commanders have warned against. Together, they paint a troubling picture of where the Pentagon is headed. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/pete-hegseth-pentagon-war

Bush didn't hit 32 percent approval until he left office. Trump is already there, three months before the midterms. The last time we saw numbers like these, Democrats won both chambers of Congress. Let's make sure they do. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/2006-2026-midterm-wave-election

71 days until the midterms and Democrats have the momentum. With special elections flipping and polls surging in Michigan and Texas, the map is expanding in ways worth celebrating. Meanwhile, Trump is at historic lows in approval, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Let's keep up the good fight! 👏 https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/week-progressive-wins-august-23

No shortage of stories hit the news cycle this week, and these are three that caught my attention: Nixon's stunning Florida upset, Ossoff's pointed jab at Trump and the response it drew, and Trump cutting South Korea drills short only for North Korea to fire ballistic missiles hours later. Let's catch up. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/august-21-weekly-news-roundup

Twenty years ago, George W. Bush claimed a mandate after winning reelection by just 2.4%. Donald Trump did the same after winning by 1.5%. Each man mistook a narrow victory for sweeping public approval, overreached in his second term, and descended into historic disapproval. With 75 days until the midterms, history might have something to teach us about what comes next. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/2006-2026-midterm-wave-election

It’s not often that voters across the political spectrum find common ground, but data centers may be the exception. These massive facilities strain water supplies, drive up utility rates, create noise and environmental damage, and can remake a rural community overnight. Yet Donald Trump has made himself their biggest champion. What happens when the interests of Big Tech collide with the interests of the people who have to live with the consequences? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/data-centers-trump-tech
