Bifurcation is a major, inevitable part of progressive federalism, no matter how high the price tag. It will allow blue states to innovate in favor of their residents, even in times such as these. #ProgFedUS #ProgressiveFederalism #uspol #InterstateCompacts

@JessTheUnstill @hacks4pancakes plus the #SCOTUS case Northeast Bancorp v Board of Governors shows that even controversial compacts like the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (#NPVIC) may not even meet the definition of an interstate compact, let alone require congressional approval.

An excellent and engaging presentation at the Denver Museum Of Nature & Science (DMNS); I love seeing use cases, adaptation, data being used to make things better, faster, stronger, more efficient - especially in the context of climate-change-related challenges and vulnerabilities.

@JamesGleick Liberals and good governance types should create and promote more interstate compacts in light of how terrible Congress is acting. Like, one on redistricting reform, another on cannabis, and many more. #InterstateCompacts

Another: a compact to expand the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) into an Interstate Electoral Commission, which would establish an interstate electoral roll for federal and state elections. #InterstateCompacts #USPol

Another: A “Zoom marriages” compact, which allows for marriages conducted/certified in State A remotely by officiants in State B to be recognized and afforded “full faith and credit” by State B, no matter State B’s laws on recognition or conduct. This expands upon the #FreedomToMarryAct. #InterstateCompacts #RFMA #USPol #MarriageEquality

Another: A “Phase Out Corporate Giveaways” Compact, mutual agreement to stop giving away public money to win deals with corporations. #InterstateCompacts #USPol

Another: A Cannabis Compact, which would mutually regulate cannabis sales in legal states. #cannabis #Marijuana #InterstateCompacts #USPol
