Montana has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United through ballot referendum. And now, Hawaii is following suit with a new bill in its state legislature that would do the same. Here's what you should know about the plans, and how they could be replicated where you live.

Hawaii could soon become the first in the nation to, in effect, undo Citizens United by resetting the powers granted to corporations. Get the details on this bold legal strategy ⬇️ https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-corporate-power-reset-that-makes-citizens-united-irrelevant/

A big question over the next few years: What do Dems do in IL, CO, NY, NJ, and MD?

“Racism still occupies the throne of this country.” - Professor Eddie Glaude

Yes, reform is desperately needed in myriad areas to remove the many thumbs from the scale on self enrichment by elected officials. Campaign finance. Immunity. Insider trading. Lobbying. True reform will require years of focused effort, lawmakers of exceptional integrity and respect for democracy.

🚨NEW. Americans still reject Trump’s planned White House ballroom by a 2-to-1 margin. The polling on this is a dumpster fire for Trump and his sychophants. No one normal wants this. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

🚨 Xavier Becerra is surging. Check this new poll. Turns out experience, competence, and not sounding like a crackpot still has a market with sane California voters.

Fresh insights into presidential security from experienced former campaign staffer @dworkin.bsky.social. Despite their lies, the regime didn’t give the WHCA dinner the highest federal security classification to lock down the entire hotel and screen every guest. open.substack.com/pub/dworkin/...

🚨BREAKING: Newly obtained documents show a clear paper trail of Trump administration officials planning to share sensitive voter data with an outside political group trying to overturn elections, as part of a secret agreement. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Per the SCOTUS ruling that guts the Voting Rights Act, it’s now okay to gerrymander legislative districts to discriminate against minority voters because creating accurate and fair districts discriminates against the party that insists on discriminating against minorities. Calvin Rules, right?

In 1995, Clinton repealed the rule requiring drugs developed at taxpayer expense to be offered at "reasonable" prices. In 2000, the Senate blocked Wellstone's bill to reinstate the rule. Americans pay the world's highest prices for drugs we already paid for. Dems should reintroduce Paul's bill.

This is coming from a place of warmth and acceptance… -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It’s ‘one fell swoop’ -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

(9/9) The overarching takeaway? The Supreme Court has just made it much harder for Black and brown voters to challenge discriminatory maps, or any racially discriminatory voting practices. The bar to win on such claims will be much higher. Background on today’s ruling:

I’d call it a vacuum rather than a collapse.

The choreography reminds me of this CDK company piece directed by Sergio Reis. I’m fascinated by this one too. youtu.be/REPPgPcw4hk?...

“But his public-be-damned business practices, his especially conspicuous consumption, and his excessive sucking up to Trump make Jeff Bezos the worst CEO of them all. What can you do? You might share this post and boycott Amazon.” www.commondreams.org/opinion/amaz...

Come on, man. These bribes aren’t going to launder themselves. Trump and his family have been rinsing money through construction jobs for nearly a century. It’s reflexive.

Well played, sir.

Did trump stage another assassination attempt? Yes. Just like he’s done everything else. Do not fall for his BS. And no he ain’t getting any $400,000,000 Ballroom! #SheShed #LetGoOfTheEpsteinFiles

When your faux assassinations outnumber your impeachments, something is out of balance.

Trump wants you focused on his brush with death and his need for a ballroom, but the war in Iran continues with no end in sight and the full Epstein files have still not been released, as required by law over 18 weeks ago.

Read my exclusive report on how the tide is turning against the Trump regime:

A question that, once asked, can’t be unheard. That’s a helluva list.

“The corruption isn’t hidden in shadows, not disguised behind complexity, not buried in footnotes. Instead, it stands in the open, brazen, defiant, and contemptuous of the people it exploits.” After years of these crimes, the GOP and about one-third of American voters are just fine with that.

A longtime analyst for Los Angeles games, Rick Monday discussed his reflexive rescue of the flag on last night’s radio broadcast of the Dodgers-Cubs tilt, a 6-4 win by Chicago. He said it was an easy decision because it was the right thing to do.

Trump is a total loon and blackguard, but he is just smart enough to know what would be disclosed during the discovery phase of any lawsuit.

Someone said he is not only the worst American president but the worst American ever. Can't argue with that.

As we watch fake diplomats try fake diplomacy in the pursuit of a fake deal, a reminder about what happened with North Korea in Trump 1.0.

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.

As top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, I'm working to make sure every American has the chance to make their voices heard at the ballot box.   We won't allow voters or election officials to be intimidated by the Trump Administration.

S&P margins hit fifteen-year peak. #econsky

This analysis uses the words “disruption, stop-work order, cancellation, reduced access, progress declined,” among others, to remind us that Trump policies have put millions of disadvantaged people at greater risk of infection and death from a preventable illness.
