One of the things you learned at 18F and USDS is that government isn’t like a business: it has to serve everybody and not just specific market segments that are the most convenient.

By the time we get to Nov. 2026, Trump will have federal agents and the national guard in many, if not most, blue cities.
AG Bondi on mayors and governors in blue states:
“If they don’t comply with us…We’re going to…cut off their federal funding. We are going to send in law enforcement…just like we’re doing here in Washington, D.C.”

Trump attacks mail-in/absentee voting. Reminding you the concept was started to support military serving far from home. Millions of Americans are unable to go to polls. Disenfranchising them is anti-American. I produced this ad in 2020 with @markhamillofficial.bsky.social at @lincolnproject.us.

California has walked the walk on independent redistricting at the state level for 15 years.
But we cannot unilaterally disarm while other states throw out the rules to gain power.
With one vote, Californians can punch back and also demand nationwide independent redistricting.

Special interests are funneling roughly half a billion dollars worth of gifts into Trump’s library—and there are no rules to stop them.
The Presidential Library Anti-Corruption Act must be passed to close loopholes that allow these libraries to be used as tools for corruption.

Gallego: I’ve certainly seen a reversal—mostly among Latino men. I would say it started about three to four weeks ago.
It’s really a combination of factors: they’re deporting people who aren’t criminals, they’re separating families…
