I made Broadside because the people need an easy way to hold our representatives accountable, understand policy, and tell their friends/family about it. This is just the beginning!

OMG. Last night's lunar eclipse -- as seen from the Moon!
The Blue Ghost lander got this shot. The Sun is overexposed, but in the reflection you can see it's almost fully eclipsed by the Earth. 🧪🔭

I've heard plenty of people say that kids today *just want to be influencers* or YouTubers. Funny enough, that NOW translates to: "I want to build a massive cult-like following so I can skip the whole merit thing everyone wants and jump straight to the top of the US government!" 🤪

Ironic that bills on government transparency can take so much research to follow 😮💨
Representative Quigley is a champion for transparency and I look forward to watching his latest initiatives using trackthebills.com

Why is it still so hard to track initiatives and elected representatives activity in 2025?
Let's change that.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.

Under fascism, no one is safe.
Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.
Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.
Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.
