@ErnestMoniz had an informative, engaging conversation on the @colbertlateshow about Putin and nuclear escalation last night.
Read this @EFIForTheFuture blog to learn more about how this issue ties back to #energy too: https://t.co/GDPdZwYSac
It was an honor appearing on the @colbertlateshow last night!
@StephenAtHome and I recalled duck-and-cover days under the school desk and the collective exhale at the end of the Cold War.
The trouble today is there are new threats. Watch more on @CBS: https://t.co/q0ZQo4qpJ9
This is really inaccurate reporting in @nytimes morning email.
The Moore v Harper case is really, really bad for democracy, but it wouldn’t give more power to state legislatures to overturn election results after the fact.
Today, I'm leaving @CampaignLegal after an incredible 2.5 years! There's still so much work to be done to protect our #democracy, but I will be pivoting to #cleanenergy at @EFIForTheFuture. I'll miss my current colleagues dearly but am excited for the opportunities ahead!
We are 40 days away from the November 2022 midterm elections, and there are a lot of moving pieces. Here are some resources we have been cooking up @CampaignLegal to help voters and advocates navigate the season:
A good analysis by @mcpli of Merrill v. Milligan, a #redistricting case #SCOTUS will hear this term. CLC is urging the Court to reject Alabama’s attempt to severely curtail Section 2 of the Voting Right Act.

Hoping to make voters involved in #capolitics more aware, so they can tell the #caleg can fix this. California definitely has the ability to receive a 10/10 score in the future.
(THREAD) As someone who grew up in #California, I can tell you that Californians take a lot of pride in being leaders on the issues that matter most to our country.
The reason for this is that California doesn't accept mail ballots for up to 10 days after Election Day, the recommended time to account for delays in the U.S. Postal Service’s mail delivery that may occur through no fault of the voter. https://t.co/ohRjkUpvQv
I agree with the @WashingtonPost Editorial Board: Legislation overhauling the badly outdated #ElectoralCountAct must be passed by #Congress this year, and bipartisan support for reform in the U.S. Senate is extremely encouraging. https://t.co/ISy0kKCnxo
The upcoming #SupremeCourt term includes cases that could dramatically alter the course of our democracy. I am co-hosting a conversation on 9/28 with @CampaignLegal’s @aseemmulji detailing these important cases and their possible outcomes. PLEASE REGISTER: https://t.co/yMuzN7sli1
When the government uses its power to intimidate, threaten, or confuse citizens to impact their ability to participate in the electoral process, the result should subject political officials to particular consequences...

I was today years old when I learned that the word I thought was "fullproof" is actually "foolproof". So I guess the English language has made a fool of this writer again? 😅
@CampaignLegal's @BlairBowie highlighted the challenges that people with felony convictions still face to voting on @blkagendareport. Check it out here: https://t.co/D1BEJaqkm9
(THREAD) Americans with felony convictions are members of their community and should have a say on the issues that directly impact their lives, but a patchwork of confusing, complicated state laws often keep them from voting.
