Montana has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United through ballot referendum. And now, Hawaii is following suit with a new bill in its state legislature that would do the same. Here's what you should know about the plans, and how they could be replicated where you live.
France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?
I am so grateful for the outpouring of support from Californians across this state.
This is what a grassroots movement looks like. Real people showing up because they believe California deserves better.
I believe that too. And I am ready to fight for it.

Xavier Becerra, at last night’s California Gov debate, answered a question about future opportunities for young folks to achieve success.
Becerra made a great point.
Traditional college isn’t the only path. Vocational training and apprenticeships don’t get talked about enough, and are underrated.
Xavier Becerra is a seasoned leader who served as Biden's Secretary of Health and Human Services and previously as California Attorney General. As Governor, he promises to protect your rights and freedoms and build an economy that works for everyone.
Elect Xavier Becerra
Governor of California
Gallego: "I think ICE needs to be totally torn down. People want immigration enforcement that goes after criminals and focuses on criminals, not the goon squad that has come from Stephen Miller and Donald Trump."
Enraged by the killing of Renee Good and the increased presence of federal agents in Minneapolis, local protesters are going face-to-face with heavily armed agents in a high stakes environment. trib.al/vekqQ69
The dominoes are falling in place, but we must keep up the pressure!
Tell Congress that impeaching Kristi Noem is just the beginning, and we expect them to get behind it now:
Thank you to all who are protesting today in memory of #ReneeGood In Newton, there were more than 300 folks, including a good sized contingent from our congregation, the First Unitarian Universalist Society in Newton, #MA
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand
A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me
This past weekend, I was honored to join the inaugural group of "Women Transforming Global Security" a new initiative by @ploughshares.bsky.social The Elders & Horizon2045 to help build a comprehensive framework to address interconnected global security threats.Learn more: transformingsecurity.org

JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”
“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.”

💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero
Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."
MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell
JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too
D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?
J: I didn't see it
D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.
We're headed towards a government shutdown, but Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans are nowhere to be found.
Americans deserve better.
Democrats are here, ready to fight to protect health care and keep the government open.
People hate reality, and reality is tough sometimes. But it's still there, and it will happen. It's why ambulances take you to the hospital, not a church. Praying is worthless. It takes action to make a difference.
Barack Obama scolds media companies: Get a spine
The former president said the media needs to "start standing up" for free speech after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.
Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying.
We ALL need to step up for the first amendment.
By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.

Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."
