Thank you @neal_katyal for representing me as an intervenor in this lawsuit and for your brilliant argument yesterday defending our right to have a political system in Maine that is not only free from corruption but also free from the appearance of corruption. #morevoice
Walking into Maine Federal Court to defend Maine’s Question One, a voter initiative that ends big dark money in SuperPACs. The initiative passed the ballot last year by a 74.9% vote, garnering more votes than any candidate or issue in any election in the 205 year history of the State

North Carolina A&T students marched an hour each way to vote on the first day of early voting after their campus polling site was removed by the Guilford County Elections Board. Proud 👏🏽

The two-choice system is fundamentally broken, and it drives people apart rather than bringing them together. I want to fix that, which is why Republicans, independents, and Democrats are all supporting our campaign. #IAGov #GovDebate

Gov. Josh Shapiro backs a bill that would open Pennsylvania’s primary elections to unaffiliated voters. HB 280, authored by state Rep. Jared Solomon, passed the state House by a 115-88 vote on Tuesday. “I support it,” Shapiro told me on Saturday. thecentersquare.com/pennsylv…

Ever forward @DevalPatrick
Elections ought to be a competition of ideas and character rather than who has the structural advantage. All-party primaries can enable more good people to compete and encourage more officeholders to deliver results. Proud to endorse @vote_yeson3ma. yeson3ma.org/

We sued New York. Rieckhoff v. Berger asks one question: does your right to vote in a decisive primary come from citizenship, or from joining a party? New York first. Oregon, Kansas and Louisiana next. Watch the launch and read the release: independentveteransofamerica…

Following the money in politics just got easier. @OpenSecretsDC has launched a new dashboard that puts state AND federal campaign finance data under one roof — making it easier to see who’s giving, where the money is going, and how political spending crosses state lines. ivn.us/opensecrets-tears-dow… #CampaignFinance #MoneyInPolitics #OpenSecrets #Election2026

Tapper: Mr. Hilton, just to clarify, would you direct California law enforcement to assist the Trump administration's mass deportations beyond dangerous criminals? Yes or no? Hilton: It's about enforcing the law. I mean, the federal law is immigration law is obviously a federal matter. Becerra: California welcomed you and you welcome ICE mercenaries into our state in return. You seem to welcome immigrants who look like you, but deport immigrants who look like me

Tomorrow in NYC, I drop my lawsuit against my beloved home state of New York. Here’s why:
“Why I’m Suing the State of NY.” The #1 threat to America isn’t Trump — it’s AI. OpenAI meddles with three federal sites. Iran War sucking chest wound hits GOP at the pump. youtu.be/apW_iK22LXg
