This is a really big deal. Every state needs to do this.

🚨 NEW: Hawaii has passed legislation completely banning corporate spending in politics. The bill is the first of it’s kind, and deliberately designed to avoid the issues raised by Citizens United.

This is insane. And exactly what all of the wealthy people and corporations were terrified of. A politician proving you can enhance the quality of life for your constituents, by not taking away from the working class, rather taxing the rich.
See how socialistic views aren’t bad?

Democracy will die in this country because Republicans have no scruples about doing anything and everything necessary to secure more power and Dems just don’t have the guts to match the same energy.

Only 2 states’ car fees actually cover their road costs. The other 48 require heavy subsidies. Last year, the feds spent $30B more on highways than the gas tax generated. Drivers aren’t “paying for transit riders” when they can’t even pay for roads. Talk about that.
Washington Post Opinions@PostOpinions
In Washington D.C., taxpayers who don’t take the train or bus are increasingly subsidizing those who do, and it’s not sustainable. @DominicJPino explains why. 🔗 Read more: wapo.st/42nR9Ok

a country that doesn’t punish this kind of behavior must be punished itself- weapons embargo and bds are the floor btw. meanwhile in the western world, the only people who get punished are those who call this evil out.

Horrific: Video shows an Israeli settler deliberately blocking the path of a Palestinian ambulance on a road in southern Nablus in the West Bank while it was transporting a critically ill person.

There's an obvious reason why the Republican Supreme Court Justices sound so nervous. During their confirmation hearings, these justices sat under oath and promised that Roe v. Wade was settled law. They lied. They told us they were independent. Then they quietly accepted luxury mega-yacht vacations from right-wing billionaires, flew insurrectionist flags outside their homes, and used shadow dockets to dismantle decades of worker and environmental protections.
Now, trying to persuade the public that a Republican-controlled Court issuing Republican-friendly decisions is not a Republican body has never been more difficult.
Now that their public approval has cratered, they are showing up to fancy think tanks to complain that Americans are being unfair to them. They are desperately demanding to be treated like impartial umpires who simply call balls and strikes.
But, ultimately, you do not get to strip away the bodily autonomy of millions of women, pocket millions in undisclosed gifts from conservative mega-donors, and then cry about a lack of respect.

I’m old enough to remember when Republicans in Ohio just ignored court rulings repeatedly and did it anyway.

This is what happened in 2018 in Wisconsin. Under absurdly gerrymandered maps, Democratic candidates won about 53% of the popular vote, but only picked up one (1) seat, as Republicans maintained near-supermajority control of the Assembly.
Sean T at RCP@SeanTrende
Because we live on the worst timeline, we should prepare for a situation where Rs lose the popular vote cleanly (i.e. 51-46, not the 49-48 situation from 2012) but keep the House. Which would be a nightmare.

Tim Kaine responds to the Virginia Supreme Court overturning the will of the people:
“The timing of this ruling speaks volumes.”
“The Virginia General Assembly let the people decide for themselves in a free and fair election. If the Virginia Supreme Court had legitimate concerns about this referendum, the time to stop it would have been before three million Virginians cast their ballots.”
