Who left this gray hair on my head?

@BJZarou So true

Other reforms are happening across the country. Though they come in different flavors, all these reforms seek to increase competition& reframe the incentives for leaders. They are all about shaking up the political game. Now and then, the rules have to change. That time is now.

It's been a rough yr, enough to make an optimist lose hope. In @chitribopinions I talk about making elected officials more responsive to the challenges that we’ll continue to face. Time to shake our democracy out of its self-perpetuating complacency. https://t.co/vFp6ADIxkR

Based on my report for @uniteamerica, Alaska's new system made elections significantly more competitive. &Candidates had to do more than wear a red or blue pin they had to make the case that they personally were better. More so than in any other state. https://t.co/DwUnxdYegC

I reached out to my reps to call for de-escalation. It's easy to be cynical, but it works at least as well as venting on social media. I also know it's hard to find a simple text out there. So, DM me if you want to contact but don't know what to say. https://t.co/luKkqmvqfv

📢 Does Alaska’s new top-four nonpartisan primary system improve participation, competition, and representation?

Our latest “Solutions Series” report has the answers, and the early signs are encouraging. Here's a summary of our findings. 🧵

Glancing through the full #TrumpIndictment. Overwhelmingly grateful for all the people - mostly Republicans -who kept their own integrity and stood up for the country under pressure from the world's most powerful bully.

Thank you @ArisFolley for reporting that the SENATE appropriations committee continued the Hyde Amendment this week. The "let's throw as much shit out there as possible and something will get through" strategy in the House seems to be working already.

Breaking: The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled in our #MooreVHarper case, protecting state courts’ power to hold lawmakers accountable to state laws when it comes to our elections.

This ruling is a very big deal for the survival of our democracy.

Forget the presidential primaries for a sec. There are elections to watch THIS YEAR. In this week's edition of This Week in Abortion, we highlighted three states with important elections in 2023 for abortion access: Ohio, Virginia, and Kentucky.

@LiebSolly @Chicago_Reader @MikeSula Great. Now I’m hungry 🤨.

[ThisWeekInAbortion @WeekInAbortion]

Advocates just announced a ballot initiative to secure #abortionaccess in #Florida. But, do you know what that means?

While ballot measures can be helpful they aren't the golden ticket to national access you might think they are.

There is no way the creative team for this includes parents. Either way it should definitely come with a “don’t try this with a white shirt” warning.

Really bad move @TuftsUniversity. Like so many alum, I owe my career to this humble house on Packard Ave. #SavetheIGL https://t.co/6mrxSOEhZA

I can check the status of my passport application online, but a month late receiving my old passport and @StateDept tells me “snail mail your local office and beg them to send it” not even a landline to call. Way to half ass it guys.

This happened a few weeks ago. I didn't say anything bc I didn't want to be the focus. Now that it's on @capitolfax, I will say that this was vile and unacceptable. An apology after you're called out is one thing. I'll wait and see what they actually do. https://t.co/3NDysJNwJs
