Thank you @neal_katyal for representing me as an intervenor in this lawsuit and for your brilliant argument yesterday defending our right to have a political system in Maine that is not only free from corruption but also free from the appearance of corruption. #morevoice

Walking into Maine Federal Court to defend Maine’s Question One, a voter initiative that ends big dark money in SuperPACs. The initiative passed the ballot last year by a 74.9% vote, garnering more votes than any candidate or issue in any election in the 205 year history of the State

@stevenmaviglio @ivn Hi Steve, a public document search shows that IVP fully discloses its Business and Labor conference donors (Even though FPPC has told them they aren’t required to disclose, they file anyway.) Copies attached.

My evolution on term limits...
Knew little about politics: I supported them.

Read the skeptical academic research: became neutral.

Saw the crushing pressure electeds face from party leadership, donors, activists and influencers in modern political era: now the biggest advocate.

The recent rise in attacks on members of the Islamic and Jewish communities is alarming and tragic. The shootings today at the Islamic Center in San Diego are a shocking reminder that we must push back together against the forces of hate. People of all faiths should be able to live and practice their religion in peace. My heart goes out to those grieving in San Diego and the Islamic community.

We took the liberty of asking Amy’s kiddos a few questions. See what they all agreed on!

Happy Mother’s Day, Amy!

It’s up to us to ensure moms and their babies have the care they need. I’ll fight to keep OB-GYN access in rural communities, better support our hospitals, and ensure we’re always striving for better maternal outcomes.

The first step is winning the democratic primary on May 19. Can I count on your vote?

There is no place for violence in protest, and I condemn the alarming rise in attacks against the Jewish community here in Seattle and in Europe. Our Jewish neighbors must be free to hold political opinions, practice their religion, and walk our streets free from fear of violence or persecution. People of all faiths should be able to live and practice their religion in peace, and legitimate protests should be directed at governments, not ethnicities.

So when the Pentagon war-gamed this out and it got to the closure/blockade point, what happened next?

[Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY]

This is an immoral betrayal of those who fought alongside us risking their lives for American veterans in Afghanistan.

@JessicaTarlov congratulations on your new book and thank you for being in the arena

Rahm Emanuel is an idea man and I really love that.

[Rahm Emanuel @RahmEmanuel]

Let’s bet on America — not against it. I’m proposing a 10% fee on prediction markets and online gambling to fund an American Innovation Fund—investing in AI, quantum computing, fusion energy, life sciences, and national security tech.

President Xi is investing in the future, whereas President Trump’s cuts in NIH and NSF is defaulting on America’s preeminence. That’s not how you win.

Let’s fund cures, build new energy resources, lead in defense technologies and quantum tech.

Stop falling further behind, start investing in winning again. That’s the American way.

While everyone has moved on, I remain deeply troubled by Trumps threat to wipe out an entire civilization. No American president has talked in such terms. No American president ever should.

Huge relief that the second crew member of the downed F-15 was rescued. We have the best search and rescue and special ops forces that are clearly ready for the most dangerous missions. https://t.co/w33GAgEyAS via @NYTimes
