A century ago, America faced eerily familiar threats: Crackdowns on dissenting speech, public distrust, political violence, wealth inequality & more. But Americans didn’t retreat; they experimented boldly. To meet today’s threats, we need bold action at an even greater scale. tinyurl.com/m5y6b23n

I spoke with @tiffanymuller.bsky.social on @endcitizensunited.bsky.social's survey of likely 2026 battleground voters. Independents were highly persuadable on anti-corruption messaging, shifting 15 points toward Democrats (52-37), while traditional Democratic messaging left them evenly split (45-45)

Our latest #FirstMondaysWebinar explored how culture shapes our understanding of democracy — and why that understanding is key to protecting it. We discussed 4 forces pushing us toward authoritarianism: othering, distrust in institutions, distortion of facts, and religious & nationalist movements.

In a recent discussion with screenwriter and political strategist @billyray5229.bsky.social, he highlighted some surprising data. When asked what percentage of the population was transgender, Americans polled said 21%. The actual number is >1%. The pattern holds for other minority groups as well.

Let’s call the BBB what it is: The Big Betrayal. This bill guts Medicaid, SNAP, rural hospitals, clean energy & education — and adds more red tape just to access what’s left. It punishes those who need help most, while the ultra-rich keep cashing in.

As students return to class, recall Trump's attacks on education & research — slashing agency staff, freezing grants & driving American scientists abroad.

We’re often told America is deeply divided. But on issues that affect daily life, many agree. As Billy Ray explains, voters support higher wages, climate action, infrastructure and taking on Big Pharma. The problem isn’t the issues — it’s that Democrats have failed to clearly say what they’re for.

During our 2025 Narrative Series, one thing was clear: rebuilding America requires compelling stories rooted in core values. Voters need to hear narratives that acknowledge their everyday struggles in 2026 to elect candidates we support & strengthen democracy.

Over the weekend, Senate Democrats successfully challenged Republicans’ attempt to give $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to President Trump’s ballroom. This is a big win, and we’ll continue to fight against such a colossal waste of resources as they scramble to redraft.

Many people only look at the results of the Swiss issue, not the causes. After WWII, the US pushed Switzerland to open deposit data for nearly fifty years, but Switzerland has been unwilling to change. The so-called neutral Swiss banks, in Miles Guo's view, are more like a system for hiding funds.
