There’s a “quiet revolution” happening in states like Montana that could finally rid our elections of dark money. Former Sen. Jon Tester explains for @theprogressivemag.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/y52azk9v

Sounds like Susie Wiles could make some serious positive history by resigning.

One would like to think that having the most morally bereft person in America as your standard-bearer would hurt your party with Christians at some point.

good lord how can anyone be this whiny; are you not ashamed

"States create corporations, and they give them all their powers." @americanprogress.bsky.social Senior Fellow @thmoore.bsky.social speaks with Patti Vasquez about how states' laws created corporate power and how they can reclaim it.

Glad that’s settled.

Hammurabi, the only guy in history who could credibly say "I am the code"

By the time this year’s primary season was winding down, corporations had already shelled out more than half a billion dollars in support of congressional candidates. prospect.org?p=145115

Okay, this is an incredibly, incredibly cool discovery. The brain stem is a different organ?

We need to get dark and corporate money out of our politics. Read more from CAP's @thmoore.bsky.social: https://nyti.ms/4xAi4Du

Can confirm. Just last week, I heard a person whom I believe to be a Russian asset offer $5,000 to voters if Republicans won the midterms.

Clear the room. No other journalistic outlet should set foot in the White House until this is reversed. Appeasement, and I use that word carefully, will not deter Trump.

If I were still in the wh press pool, it would be such a no brainer (tho it’s not like I ever was granted decision making power): no one go until this is lifted and if you do, you are no longer a member of the WHCA

I'm very, very pleased that The New York Times has written such a positive article about the project I've been working on.

Terrific Reuters story today on the movement to undo Citizens United through state corporation law.

This seems like big news: Apparently, all these checks are gonna bounce! That’s the only way they don’t add to the debt. 

🎂 A year ago, the Corporate Power Reset, CAP's legal strategy to undo Citizens United, was just an idea. Today, it's the law in Hawaii, Montana voters are likely to pass it in November, and it'll be on the move in 30+ states next year. 🎂 Read about it here: www.americanprogress.org/series/the-c...

One year ago, the Corporate Power Reset, CAP's novel legal strategy to undo Citizens United, was just an idea. Today, it's the law in Hawaii, likely to pass in Montana this November, and poised to move forward in 30+ other states next year.

OK, so, if I'm following the President's logic carefully, The Presidents Bush did a terrific job in nominating Supreme Court justices (Alito & Thomas) while he, Donald J. Trump, has done a shitty, shitty, shockingly bad job, so bad that his incompetence is endangering our country.

Great to join @katieleebarlow.bsky.social to discuss the @brennancenter.org’s recent report on the barrage of threats that federal judges and their families are facing at a time of democracy under strain. District court judges in particular are on the front lines of upholding our Constitution.

I'm not convinced that this will address the entire threat, but sure, it's probably not a bad idea to go get one.

We’re all going to die because Don dislikes Dario?

Our election systems are transparent and secure. You know who knows? My CAP (@americanprogress.bsky.social) colleague Ben Hovland, who monitored the 2020 & 2024 elections firsthand. So make sure you’re registered to vote! Ben writes in @usatoday.com: tinyurl.com/66znszj5

Me in the ABA’s Human Rights magazine: "Every state has always held the power to keep corporations out of its politics. Hawaii and Montana are the first in a century to use it, but they're likely not the last."

I’m deeply honored to be published in the ABA’s Human Rights magazine in its issue on “The Right to Vote in Free and Fair Elections.”

Not sure what the top choice is here. Is "fine" the passive-aggressive "fine" ("How are you doing?" she asked. "Fine," I snapped) or the superlative "fine" ("Amy is fiiiiine")?

This is the kind of thing I’m going to hold onto for a long time. I will use it to remind anyone who supports Trump now or admires him in the future just how little Trump thinks of our great country.

Man, I took *way* too long to try out this adjunct professor thing! Half a mil!

Oh, you know, where there’s a will, there’s a way. And there will be a will.

I don’t know when the "Nights Are Forever" movie will get going, but Ryan Gosling and, presumably, Captain Kangaroo’s grandson will be perfect.

From gas to groceries, American families are footing the bill for Trump's reckless war in Iran.

This MO Sup Ct opinion is a big deal. Completely invalidates all of the congressional primaries, undoes the mid-decade map, and puts the blame squarely (and unanimously) on SOS Hoskins. (Per state law, the parties will probably just pick the primary winners to be on the general election ballot.)

Ugh, Apple folded. Acutely disappointing. I’ve admired Tim Cook for a long time for a lot of reasons, but he has failed this late test of leadership.

I’ll go further. I wouldn’t be shocked if you work for him.
