In several Republican-led states, popular sentiment on the voucher issue has been overridden by the efforts of special interest groups and powerful governors who have enacted sweeping voucher programs that often benefit affluent families.

@heidilifeldman I wrote a note thanking neighbors I had never met for putting up their Harris/Walz sign. They came over to thank me for the note and say how much it meant to them. Now I have new friends!

Over 50 members of Congress hold a combined $10.9 million in stock in military contractors.

These companies receive hundreds of billions annually from defense spending legislation passed by those same members of Congress.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Every day the Supreme Court fails to make a decision in Trump’s immunity case is effectively a decision in his favor.

They're acting like an arm of Trump's campaign by letting him run out the clock on his prosecution.

Uh oh, Donnie. The court-appointed auditor of your companies just caught you moving $40 million from the Trump Org to yourself so you could pay your taxes and legal fees. That’s not allowed under the judge’s order. It’s not going to go over well, especially as the judge decides penalties.
Can we lower the temperature? Take a breath? This week, I’ve been so very sad. I’m praying for all the violence to end. For the captives to be returned. For humanitarian aid to get to Gaza. For the missiles to stop. For Jews to feel safe. For Palestinians to have a state. For us all of us to see the humanity in each other. Please. #israel #palestinians #IsraelHamasWar #peace
@TonyStark Sadly, Arizona can attest that an independent commission doesn’t solve all ptoblems. Still the best idea though.
Can you imagine the incessant press coverage, from all journalism outlets, were a Democratic Senator holding the U.S. military hostage to his own religious beliefs? Here’s an op-ed from three Secretaries of the Armed Forces explaining how #Tuberville is risking U.S. security. Gift access https://wapo.st/3r81gHQ #ReproductiveRights #AbortionRights
Three service secretaries to Tuberville: Stop this dangerous hold on senior officers

These officers and the millions of service members they lead are the foundation of America’s enduring military advantage.

@kims come to Phoenix. Not a problem.
@rbreich should be re-litigated. Hard to square this holding with current originalist interpretations.
