Thank you @sanders.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov & @aoc.bsky.social for introducing the most comprehensive federal Flock ban ever! This bill is the gold standard because it not only bans the cameras on a federal level but it bans the use of the data, which can be used to AI to target anyone.

Demand Progress @demandprogress.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Flock and other camera company CEOs were asked to answer questions at a @judiciarydems.senate.gov hearing tomorrow. All of them refused. This is a clear attempt to avoid accountability. The American people deserve answers.

Today, a California commission will vote on a plan that risks trading the state’s net neutrality protections in exchange for federal broadband funding. @governor.ca.gov has a choice: step in and reject Trump’s money or take the dirty deal and sacrifice California’s sovereignty.

NEW: We’re calling on the National Association of Attorneys General to implement structural fixes in the housing market. Last month, the FTC settled with Zillow and Redfin just hours before their trial was set to begin over their deal to shrink the online listings market.

Trump’s corrupt crypto bill was just defeated! At the last minute, @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social reversed course and opposed the bill. Just yesterday, she was trying to get her Dem colleagues to support it. Demand Progress previously pointed out that her son’s company received crypto backing.

A Demand Progress & @imeupolicy.bsky.social poll found that 70% of Dem voters think Trump is providing too much support to Israel. Instead of capitalizing on this, House Dem leaders elevated a pro-Israel, pro-Iran war hawk to be their top person on the subcommittee in charge of Middle East policy.

Demand Progress @demandprogress.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

By promoting pro-war, pro-Israel, pro-Trump Moskowitz, House Dem leaders like @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @meeks.house.gov show clear contempt for the majority of Dem voters who oppose the Iran War and don’t want to keep cutting blank checks to Israel.

Companies like @anthropic.com and Amazon are secretly buying books in bulk, scanning them to train AI and then destroying them. The FTC must investigate this destructive practice that traps books in private databases subject to corporate censorship and manipulation.

A new poll from Demand Progress & @imeupolicy.bsky.social found that 61% of voters oppose a military authorization bill that would further integrate Israeli military companies into the Pentagon. This poll is a warning sign for any member of Congress who supports the defense bill.

Today, a group of consumer advocates asked the CFTC to reject a proposal that opens the door to let prediction markets like @kalshiofficial.bsky.social & @polymarket.extwitter.link run nationwide gambling operations. Prediction markets are not derivatives. They’re straight-up gambling.

Just now, 103 House Democrats voted to adopt an amendment that would cut $3.3 billion in military subsidies to Israel. Dem leaders like @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social can no longer deny that the tide is turning against giving Israel a blank check.

At a trainwreck hearing today, Trump nominee Jay Clayton repeatedly denied the 2020 election results and showed he would be a submissive hatchetman as our nation’s chief spy. We hope @markwarner.bsky.social and @jahimes.bsky.social realize the danger he would pose as Trump’s pointman on FISA.

Demand Progress Education Fund put up a billboard telling the CFTC: Prediction Markets Are Gambling. Companies like Kalshi & Polymarket offer gambling by another name. They should have to follow the state gambling laws that have set firm guardrails around these risky activities.

Netflix has raised your prices twice in just over a year. Even though they just got a $2.8 billion breakup fee for their failed merger with Warner Bros. Netflix is a monopoly, and it’s time the FTC and DOJ did something about it.

SHAME! Dems @golden.house.gov, Josh Gottheimer & @gluesenkampperez.house.gov voted for Speaker Johnson’s scheme to make it easier for Trump to use FISA data to prosecute Americans. And all of them, plus @tomsuozzi.bsky.social, voted with Republicans to try and ram FISA through w/o any reforms.

House Dems are reportedly not planning to vote on a war powers resolution this week. Meanwhile, Trump is preparing to send thousands of troops overseas & just raised the Army’s maximum recruitment age to 42. A delay gives Trump time to escalate while the House is in recess for the next 2 weeks.

Demand Progress @demandprogress.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

And tell Congress: No FISA renewal without reforms to stop warrantless data collection for AI surveillance systems!

011

Demand Progress @demandprogress.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Speaker Johnson is delaying a vote on FISA, which was previously planned for next week. This reversal is because his members and the American people—left, right and center—don’t want Congress to rubberstamp warrantless mass surveillance without serious privacy protections.

NEW @dataforprogress.org POLL: 56% of voters think a war with Iran benefits Israel more, compared to only 29% who think it benefits the U.S. Surprisingly, 47% of Republicans, a plurality, think the war benefits Israel more, compared to only 42% who think it benefits the U.S. more.

Demand Progress @demandprogress.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

Right now, the government can bypass courts to buy our private information in bulk from shady data brokers and feed that data to AI-powered mass surveillance systems. Today Demand Progress, @pogo.org and 130+ groups sent a letter asking Congress to close this loophole before renewing FISA.

Zillow paid Redfin $100 million to exit the rental listings market. Now a Zillow-adjacent hedge fund wants to push out another competitor, Homes.com. Zillow's monopoly lets it charge high referral fees on commissions at the expense of homebuyers.

Demand Progress @demandprogress.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

The poll found that only 12% of voters, including only 17% of Republicans, think Congress should renew FISA without reforms. Conversely, 37% of voters think FISA should only be renewed with significant reforms and another 37% think FISA should not be renewed at all.

Demand Progress @demandprogress.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

This morning, @politico.com reported that Speaker Johnson wants a vote to renew sweeping government spying powers next week. A recent Demand Progress poll found that large majorities of GOP, Indy & Dem voters do not want the government to have warrantless surveillance powers.

They’ve been making jokes about Ticketmaster being evil and hurting customers since the 90s. Today, Trump ended a lawsuit that could have broken up Live Nation and Ticketmaster, paving the way for the company to use its monopoly to keep prices high and customers angry.

Demand Progress @demandprogress.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

Donald Trump should know “all too well” that siding with a giant monopoly over the American people makes him look like “the smallest man who ever lived.” This atrocious settlement preserves the Live Nation/Ticketmaster monopoly that cost Swifties their Eras Tour tickets.

Today, the House failed to pass a war powers resolution to stop the war in Iran. Everyone who voted to block the resolution owns the casualties, rising gas prices and regional chaos that comes with this disastrous, unpopular war.

Democrats who raced to applaud Trump’s illegal Iran war, including one who was pardoned by him, are drafting a pro-war war powers resolution that will give Trump a month-long free pass in Iran. This Trojan Horse resolution is meant to sabotage the real war powers resolution from Massie & Khanna.
