.@UnitersCentrist Catalyst is as catalyst does. I finally had the time to read that study on the Nebraska legislature you sent me, and I believe I've connected the dots on how to achieve a representative Congress w/ high turnover, and few negative effects on cost & quality
Voters in WA will decide 6 statewide ballot measures on 11/3: 2 binding measures and 4 nonbinding tax advisory questions. This year is the 1st presidential election year since 1928 in which the WA ballot will not feature an Initiative to the People (ITP). https://t.co/OntdgkleYQ
"It reminds me of Belarus," an activist there says of President Trump's refusal to agree to a peaceful transfer of power. Authoritarian countries have heard this language before and know where it leads. https://t.co/E4Lj0p4RON
In 2016, nine months before an election, we Republicans said that the next president should fill a Supreme Court vacancy. Today, six weeks before an election, we should hold the same position. Preserving the institution of the Senate should be paramount to any political gain.
Hence why we urge @justinamash to instead work to retain his seat in Congress. A successful mandate from your District's constituency would do more to advance the cause of electoral reform than a presidential run that, sadly, will most likely fail.
The ideal of being a 3rd party candidate running for the Presidency is a noble one, but excessive eagerness must be tempered. Meaningful Electoral College reform must take precedence to clear & very real obstacles to 3rd party presidential success.

A press briefing where you are trying to lead the American people through a public health crisis and provide them with clear, accurate information is *not* the time for sarcasm.

Gov. Cuomo says preliminary data from a New York antibody study estimates 13.9% of residents tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies.

.@senatemajldr McConnell’s dismissive remark that States devastated by Coronavirus should go bankrupt rather than get the federal assistance they need and deserve is shameful and indefensible. To say that it is “free money” to provide funds for...
