I recently spoke with @tiffanymuller.bsky.social, President of @endcitizensunited.bsky.social, about sobering new research revealing that 89% of voters believe addressing government corruption should be a priority for Congress. Winning back voters’ trust in this area isn’t going to be easy.

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.

What information is actually informing the AI large language models we use every day? New research from PSG Consulting, Innovating for the Public Good and Dewey Square Group finds a troubling "inverted funnel" in AI training data. ⬇️

Democracy is only as strong as the people — and leaders — who believe in it. The latest Gallup/Kettering survey is a wake-up call. While most Americans believe democracy is the best form of government, 4 in 10 don’t think leaders are committed to it. That’s a leadership failure we can’t ignore.

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.

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)

@mmfa.bsky.social analyzed 320 popular ideologically-driven online shows, and 9 out of 10 are right-leaning. These 9 shows had a combined following of over 480M people across platforms — nearly 5x as many as left-leaning shows. www.mediamatters.org/google/right...

During the latest PSG Consulting webinar, @geoffgarin.bsky.social and the @hartresearch.bsky.social team highlighted new research on how younger voters are more likely to see Trump as divisive and to disapprove of his othering tactics. A few key findings from the research on young voters:
