@STEVEHERMANOS @glastris @joshtpm @monthly I say do both!

@yeselson @glastris @monthly I wouldn't put anything past this SCOTUS. But agree that enacting the NPVIC is still worth the effort. Eventually, some of these common sense things most Americans want have to prevail, right, right?!

@SteveBernitz Yikes, just issued recently I see. Thanks for letting me know. And more evidence of how much elections and appointed judges matter.

The Uvalde shooter reportedly cut his own face with a knife for fun, carried boxing gloves around to fight people, and threatened a coworker. Yet, he was legally able to purchase two semi-automatic rifles at age 18. There are two obvious reforms that could have prevented this:

If you're wondering why Senate won't pass reforms to reduce gun violence that 90% of Americans support, look no further than our broken campaign finance system.

[Citizens Take Action @CitizensTakeAct]

In a country where gun rights groups spend so heavily on lobbying, is it any wonder that we have more than one mass shooting a day on average?

@Doodelay Thank you and for now, spreading the word about the need for amendment and our organization would be very helpful.

I've found that the most difficult ones for me are when the answer could be one of 6 or 7 words even after I have 3 or 4 letters in the correct spot. Then it becomes more of a guessing game than I'm comfortable with.

I was a little late to the game on Wordle but I've always enjoyed word games so I started playing in March. There have definitely been a few close calls but my streak reached 50 today! Though I'd like to improve on my average of 3.8 guesses. #Wordle322 #Wordle

We started with Orange County, CA but the criteria can be applied to any city in the country. So if you're interested, please check out the report on our website. And if you live in OC and want to support reforms to fight big money, feel free to reach out! 2/2

How well are local governments protected from undue influence by big money?

I'm proud to present our new @CitizensTakeAct report card (https://t.co/ALUhnc7aqU) that assesses cities on their strength of their campaign finance laws and the transparency of important data. 1/2

Beyond Biden's poll numbers and other oft-cited factors, there's a deeper reason why Dems' prospects of holding the House this November look grim. Missouri's 2nd Congressional District is a perfect illustration of the problem. /1 https://t.co/sMrjXis4uX @monthly

We cannot count on the Supreme Court to reaffirm Roe in the foreseeable future. That’s why court reform is essential, argues @DavidEBurke. https://t.co/T3jNQIPro2

Check out my review of @JohnHMcWhorter's "Woke Racism", especially if you're a Democrat who was worried by recent election results.

Why can't Congress pass reforms to lower prescription drug prices despite widespread public support? Follow the money behind the Democrats standing in the way--Scott Peters, Kurt Schrader, and Kyrsten Sinema.

Gavin Newsom's clear victory is more proof that we shouldn't spend $276 million on a recall just because 1 in 8 voters signed a petition.
