In Midnight in Washington: How We Almost Lost Our Democracy and Still Could, Congressman Adam Schiff, who led President Trump's first impeachment, delivers a vital inside account of American democracy's darkest hour. Schiff argues the greatest threat comes from within, as Trump's presidency weakened institutions and fueled the dangerous appeal of authoritarianism, a peril he tracks through his own political journey.

Schiff discussed these insights and warned of authoritarianism's lasting potency during an October 14, 2021 event, in conversation with Marisa Lagos, KQED (@mlagos). This discussion was hosted by The Commonwealth Club of California, the nation's oldest public affairs forum. Explore more content: YouTube, Events, Watch & Listen, Twitter.

Sristi Kamal, Oregon Representative for Defenders of Wildlife, testified for House Bill 2548, which proposes a study to fund wildlife crossings and safe passage structures on Oregon highways. The goal is to reduce collisions and protect ecosystems.

Kamal emphasized the severe economic and ecological impacts of wildlife collisions, including property damage, human injury, and animal loss. Collisions hinder species' movement, food access, and genetic diversity. A neighboring state estimated $2.5 million in annual collision costs on just 12.5 miles of highway. She argued the study is crucial to finding solutions, demonstrating that passage benefits will far outweigh initial investment, preventing further losses. Kamal urged continued engagement in the Oregon Legislative session to support better wildlife policies.
