“Voters really see through this kind of stuff. It just comes off as incredibly desperate.” @lauren-egan.bsky.social says Republicans are leaning harder into culture-war politics because they have little to say about the affordability crisis voters actually care about.

Our own history, hidden by SCOTUS. "... there are no laws to determine what the justices save, shred, burn or reveal, or when. The court does not share any information about policies or plans for records; a spokeswoman for the court did not respond to written questions."

This $1 billion in dark money could've been stopped. In 2010 I wrote the DISCLOSE Act to end secret money in our elections. It passed the House, but Senate Republicans blocked it & continue to do so.   We must keep fighting. You have a right to know who's trying to buy your vote.

In the middle of the night, Republican leadership tried to jam through legislation that allows the government to spy on Americans without a warrant. I voted NO. We need serious privacy reform to protect the American people.
Speaker Johnson speaks at a podium. Text from a Common Dreams Article is above and below it. Headline reads: "In Dead of Night, Johnson Tries—But Fails—to Ram Through Domestic Spying Bill for Trump."

Below is more text with one paragraph saying, '“Let me be clear,” said Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) explaining her no vote in a statement. “There is no new warrant requirement in tonight’s amendment to FISA reauthorization. It does absolutely nothing to fix the massive loopholes in 702 collection that allow the government to spy on Americans without a warrant. It does nothing to fix the data broker loophole. And it slaps a 5-year extension on this bill so that this White House can continue to spy on Americans and violate our privacy rights for an even longer time.”'
