If younger generations are living with the consequences the longest, how do we rebalance who gets heard?? @samuelmoyn reminds us that when one age group dominates political power, democracy stops reflecting the whole people. LISTEN HERE: https://t.co/5WM40Rzyfw

@NYCMayor @nyctourism I don’t think people understand how important this particular message is, especially for everyday NYers going about our day 😂

[Future Hindsight @futur_hindsight]

Here's what the pork industry doesn't want you to know about the way it sneaked a provision into the 2026 farm bill that would nullify ballot measures that improve animal welfare, while helping Chinese companies torture American pigs. The issue is personal to me, because we once raised pigs on our family farm, and I saw that these are not commodities but animals rather like dogs: smart with very distinct personalities. A naughty boy who punishes a single animal may be punished, but an adult who presides over the systematic abuse of hundreds of thousands of pigs as a business model is hailed as a visionary CEO -- and voters get that, and that's why they have backed laws that improve animal wellbeing. This is, remarkably, an issue that unites many liberals and conservatives alike; @TomiLahren, @Cernovich and @IngrahamAngle are among those who have been outspoken on this issue. I hope R and D members of Congress alike will stand firm, for the stakes are immense, with four pigs slaughtered around the clock on average all year. Here's a gift link to my piece: https://t.co/NWQbJK6JTc I welcome your comments.

Medicare for All is the guarantee of healthcare from cradle to grave—without premiums, copays, or deductibles. That's it. That simple.

"If passed, this legislation would do two crucial things. First, it would give the public a direct role in determining the future of this technology..."

Americans’ wages are no longer outpacing inflation.

Prices are now rising at an annual rate of 3.8%, the highest rate since May 2023.

That means inflation is now outpacing wage increases.

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

[Future Hindsight @futur_hindsight]

Congress has not updated its committee structure since before the internet existed, and you can feel the gap every time a new technology reshapes the world faster than lawmakers can respond.

Think about AI.

My mind boggles at the people who are still saying, "But, but, the rules say...but but but...the process is..."

Listen, Republicans don't care. They make shit up, bend the rules, ignore them, change them at will.

Democrats have the majority in VA. Use your powers, be creative, & implement the map.

[Future Hindsight @futur_hindsight]

Congress today is operating with several thousand fewer staff members than it had a few decades ago, and the impact is hard to miss. Don’t you agree?

What if the bravest thing you do today is simply go first? We talk about courage like it’s some giant leap, but it can start with one person choosing to act! @galbeckerman gets us started this week: https://t.co/GUzlA6kgUM

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.

The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

The Hilton donated the ~2600 dinners that went unserved at WHCD. They freeze dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before giving them to 2 shelters for abused women and children. HUGE thank you to the staff that worked through the night under terrible circumstances.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani announces that there will be five free World Cup viewing events, one in each of New York City's boroughs. Most of the events will be weeks long.

What if democracy worked like jury duty?

That’s exactly what we’re launching in Connecticut.

In Wethersfield last Friday we announced the Connecticut Citizens’ Assembly on Property Taxes—a new effort to tackle the state’s property tax system by bringing together 100 residents chosen by lottery to study the issue and develop real solutions.

This initiative is being led in partnership with Connecticut State Comptroller @SeanScanlonCT, @joedelongCCM of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, and a research team based at Yale University (including Josh Kalla and myself), in collaboration with Michael Morrell at @UConn.

What is the current state of our civic health? Depending on who you ask, the answer may vary. But most will agree that civic engagement far and wide needs a little… spark.

Curious? Michael Zakaras of @Ashoka US has us covered.
