I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

IMO, This is the whole ballgame. Money corrupts absolutely. Josh Turek: "We need to have campaign finance reform to get dark money out of politics. I want to sponsor a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. We can have oligarchy or we can have democracy. We can't have both."

I'd add that there are lots of Republicans actually taking money from Elon Musk, and they are rarely or never asked about his more radical/racist statements.

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) ran this ad when he was running for US Senate in 2004 as a Democrat. The ad touted his support for free college tuition. Note how Kennedy's accent is much less animated.

America, they are trying to desensitize you to violence. They want us to dehumanize one another so we become numb to their attacks on our liberty. They wish to normalize total state control thru visual terror. Attention is currency. Don’t invest it in evil. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Donald Trump's ICE just purchased the Appleton private prison for $496 million, making it the biggest real estate transaction in Minnesota history. I was proud to stand with folks in Appleton to protest this facility, and I'm ready to do the same in the U.S. Senate.

It’s true that we can’t compete with Republicans’ cash advantage for the midterms. The good news? We don’t have to. Studies have shown person-to-person conversations are way more effective than TV ads — and that’s where we have the advantage!

The First Amendment wasn’t actually “first.” The original First Amendment was meant to ensure that the House of Representatives grew in loose proportion to the country. Instead, the House’s size hasn’t changed since 1911. Today’s “One First” on that history—and the problems a capped House creates:

Bonus 256: The Original “First” Amendment

The only provision from the original Bill of Rights that was never adopted would've grown the House in proportion to the country. We should revisit it.

The irony of this being in Wired🥲 Good article, though I’m not sure I can fully trust its ultimate conclusion (not just because of the inbuilt bias but also because I worked with a grad student who researched this very question last year, and came to somewhat different conclusions)

Unlike cheap internet access or 3G phones (the true drivers of the 90s/2000s explosion) consumer AI is a means with no end. You can't sell that to consumers. Only to businesses that misunderstand the relationship between technology and profits/cost-savings. Because to them, it's magic beans.
