I fear we have a cruel month ahead of us: the future of campaign finance law, the definition of Election Day, the fate of birthright citizenship. While I remain hopeful, I am prepared for democracy to leave this month weaker than it entered. democracydocket.com/opinion/…

One year ago today.
Rest in peace, Melissa and Mark.

Minnesota lost a true leader, a damn good legislator, and the best Speaker Minnesota has ever seen. We have carried our grief and pain ever since. But we also carry on her mission: building a kinder, more just, and loving world. Rest in peace, Melissa and Mark."

We are living in a rigged economy where working and middle-class families are being left behind.
This is a moment to organize, engage, and activate our communities to push back against an authoritarian President and fight for an economy that works for everyone.

Trump’s name ripped off the Kennedy Center — but not before they put up scaffolding AND a massive curtain to shield the public from watching.
Peak petty. Peak fragile. Peak humiliation.

A fifth of Americans reside in rural areas.
On average, they live three years less than their urban counterparts, largely due to heart disease and strokes.
That disparity is widening, according to research. nbcnews.com/health/heart-hea…

🎥 VIDEO: Trump's war on voting has three fronts:
🎯Restricting voter registration via proof-of-citizenship laws.
🎯Controlling who gets to vote by mail by weaponizing the USPS.
🎯Laying the groundwork for another "stop the count" push.
Marc Elias breaks each of them down in our latest video👇

Trump’s White House UFC fight this weekend has required more than seven federal agencies, hundreds of staff working onsite daily and at least $60 million, according to a legal filing.
Quite a use of government resources for fight night. 🤔

95% of CDC workers say Americans will die because of federal cuts to the agency.
Virtually all staffers (99%) say reductions in staff and lack of leadership have left the agency unprepared to respond to a pandemic or other public health emergency. ow.ly/UTK550ZaH3c

🚨BREAKING: @POTUS just opened three marine monuments to destructive industrial fishing. These areas are vital for protecting whales, sea turtles, sharks, and sensitive ocean ecosystems. This is an egregious attack on our public waters. #ProtectOurOcean #MonumentsForAll

No one should have to ration medication to survive.
Sen. Darrin Camilleri and Sen. Chedrick Greene have introduced bills to eliminate copays on inhalers, EpiPens, and insulin — because life-saving care shouldn’t come with a price tag.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump's former economic advisor just admitted on Fox News that inflation is being driven nearly exclusively by bad decisions that Donald Trump has made. Wow.

The Federal Reserve released data on Trump's tariffs.
They found that corporations passed tariff costs off to consumers almost entirely.
That raised inflation of core goods by 3.1%.
We won't get a penny of the refunds, though. The corporations will.
It's a tax scam.
