The Supreme Court has just lifted 40 years of government regulation removing oversight in most public life: aviation, food, drugs, etc……. Think about that as you board your next Boeing flight.

To those of you who took the time to vote in one of Tuesday’s primaries, thank you. Even if your candidate(s) lost, you still played a vital role in America’s experiment in self-governance.

The Republican governor of North Dakota @DougBurgum deserves great credit for standing up for principle of giving cities the space to use its own election approaches like ranked choice voting. The state senate sustained his veto of a "RCV ban" bill: bismarcktribune.com/news/loc…

Ranked-choice voting may be way more effective in boosting turnout than drop boxes, no-excuses absentee ballots that have very little support from Republicans. #RankedChoiceVoting wins bipartisan support. This by ⁦@Rob_Richie⁩ ⁦@fairvote⁩ thefulcrum.us/Elections/Voti…
