This is a wake-up call. A loud one.
Only Congress & the states have election authority. Now an election denier is claiming elections can be federalized if the president declares a national security emergency. Authoritarian tactics require vigilance. @brennancenter.org warns. Unite and Rise. Sign up: bit.ly/4g5RcEq

I think this “not destroyed” rhetoric is propaganda to provoke Trump into going to war. Let’s take the win. “Yay destroyed, done and done”. They never had a nuke in the first place.

Trump & my Republican colleagues want to throw 16 million Americans off health care – on top of 85 million who are uninsured or underinsured.

Their actions will cause more than 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily each year.

Why? So they can give massive tax breaks to the 1%.

The administration is ignoring court orders & sending people to countries they’ve never seen. It won’t matter if the sprawling domestic policy bill passes. That “One Big Beautiful Bill” includes limits on the power of federal judges to hold people in contempt. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

I asked AI how to help make AI work for people—not control them.

It gave me 5 laws to push:
1. Algorithm transparency
2. FOIA reform
3. Data ownership
4. Whistleblower protection
5. Platform neutrality

These laws decide if tech serves democracy.

The Republican budget bill includes a 10-year federal moratorium preventing states from enacting any laws regulating artificial intelligence. States would not be able to stop AI from denying health insurance or firing employees or protect kids from addictive algorithms.

The GOP is trying to cut Medicaid—take note of any and all distraction tactics from them and their media apparatus.

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.

Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.

Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

Do not be scared, they want you scared.

Do not temper your expectations of our government, they want that, too.

Are there reasons to be fearful? Yes.

But don’t be scared. Let the fear be fuel for courage to demand better and fight for better.

Don’t be scared.
