3/The 1970s amendment passed Congress but wasn't ratified by enough states to meet Congress' deadline. Virginia ratified in 2020 & since then, ERA supporters have advocated for the President to declare it the law and call for the Archivist to publish it. That's what Joe Biden did this morning.

Considering the size and scope of Project 2025, the section devoted to CISA is miniscule — less than 400 words in all. But what that brief section proposes for the agency could have grave implications for the future of elections — and democracy. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/a-l...

My god, the capitulation is stunning. Our fourth estate is clearly in the hands of independent media.
It is wild—and crushingly sad—how quickly corporate America has embraced the most basic pay-to-play business practices ahead of the incoming Trump admin. What would considered illegal overseas under the Foreign Corruption Practices Act is now de rigueur here at home. www.wsj.com/business/med...

The Archivist is just tasked w sending out a birth announcement when an amendment is born 👶🏻
Just because the announcement hasn’t gone out yet, doesn’t mean the kid doesn’t exist.
In this case—the kid’s already 5 years old 👧🏻 & POTUS sent it out for her. Better late than never!
