Off-year elections are important both for whoโs elected and what the nation learns from them about where we may be headed.
What do you think America will learn from todayโs elections? robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-what-will...

The world's 10 richest people (nearly all from the U.S.) are collectively $500 billion richer this year thanks to growth in stocks tied to AI.
Meanwhile, data centers are sucking up communitiesโ water and electricity.
AI is making the rich even richer while everyone else pays the price.

According to Indianapolis Business Journal, sources confirm that Gov. Mike Braun plans to call a special session for early redistricting. We donโt know yet when this session will occur, but we expect to learn details early this coming week.
No thrones. No crowns. No KINGS! โ๐

Heather and I discuss some things to keep in mind as you hit the streets.
"The solution is simple. We need to make sure healthcare is affordable and accessible to all Americans."
Watch & share: ER doctor Dr. Bryce Pulliam came to Washington DC to tell Trump & Congress to fund the government & protect our healthcare. @afthealthcare.bsky.social #TrumpShutdown
Trump wants to invoke the Insurrection Act to punish anyone who opposes him, and heโs following a four point plan to do it.
Hereโs what you need to know about it โ and some thoughts on how to respond. www.youtube.com/shorts/31X8v...

There is no place for violence in our democracy โ against anyone.

We ask tough questions and demand real answers. If those in power attack journalism, silence scientists, and quietly erase access to research and public dataโthatโs not patriotism! Real patriotism protects dissent, demands facts, and refuses to be lied to. #TruthBrigade
As one can imagine, I have some thoughts. Hereโs a thread no one asked for:
1. SCIENCE IN THE US IS POLITICAL. No matter how much you want to ignore that fact, it is supported by taxpayer dollars and is therefore, political by nature.
2. BUT it has had bipartisan support for decades, whichโฆ
Food waste isnโt just wasteful โ itโs catastrophic. ๐
That means eating your leftovers, buying only what youโll use, and cutting waste really can make a global difference.

great climate session, @redwineblueusa.bsky.social!
In the age of monarchs, kings issued decrees. Tsars of imperial Russia proclaimed ukases. Dictators of the 20th century made diktats.
Trump issues executive orders. They make him feel powerful.ย
But arbitrary power depends on the acquiescence of everyone subjected to it.
Thou shalt not use tariffs to tax working class Americans and then pretend the money is being paid by foreign countries.
Trumpโs Big Brutal Bill is law โ and the pain is scheduled. โณ

My mission throughout my career as a public servant and as a Member of the U.S. House is to advocate for the most vulnerable in our communities. Any attempt to redistrict now is simply an attempt to silence those very voices. mrvan.house.gov/media/press-...
I just called Gov. Braun (317-232-4567) to say NO to a special session for rigging Indianaโs maps.
Took 60 seconds of waiting on hold before I got the voicemail option. Make your voice heard, too!

Vice President JD Vance is coming to Indy this Thursday to discuss a gerrymandering scheme with Gov. Mike Braun to steal democracy from We the People.
Redistricting isn't due for another 5 years, but the MAGA movement is hell bent on silencing our voices. We wonโt let them.
