The USPS has quietly been making changes that will have a big impact for people who mail their tax returns and ballots in this consequential election year. I've got questions about how these changes will hurt vote-by-mail states like Oregon this November.

Since 2019, lowest-income renters have seen a staggering 60% drop in their residual income; in 2024, the median
renter household earning under $30,000 had just $210
left over each month after paying rent and utilities.

Scientists, it's time to pay your taxes.
This arrangementโwhere a small number of dedicated scientist activists fight for the whole of the ecosystemโisnโt sustainable.
Cuts to scientific research will have effects for years to come. @standupforscience.bsky.social has been an important voice connecting scientists & all of us.
@cdelawalla.bsky.social leads that group, & her latest post is a call to action to restore funding

House DFL Leader Zack Stephenson blasts GOP leadership for suggesting people 'chose to stay homeโ while ICE was terrorizing Minnesota:
โWhen youโre forced to stay home from work because you could be arrested based on the color of your skin or the accent you speak with, thatโs not a choice."

Mayors are on the front line of our affordability crisis. They know better than anyone what we need to bring down the costs of housing, childcare, and energy.
I'm so honored to be endorsed by Mayors Mohamed, Supple, and Mรกrquez Simula.

Our Jewish communities are facing unprecedented levels of violence and threats.
It is on all of us to call anti-semitism out when we see and hear it, and to make sure that all of our faith communities are treated with respect. Hate brings no one more safety, more dignity, or more peace.

More than 318,000 children have already benefitted from Minnesotaโs nation-leading Child Tax Credit this year - with families receiving an average credit of $2,669.
The goal is simple - put money in the pockets of working families and lift children out of poverty.

Florida Senate passes own version of anti-voting SAVE America Act
The Florida bill is an attempt to impose the national SAVE America Act's severe voting restrictions on a state level.
BREAKING: The Florida Senate passed a version of the SAVE America Act requiring proof of citizenship to register and remain on the state's voter rolls.
The amended bill, which would go into effect in 2027, now returns to the House for a vote before heading to Gov. Ron DeSantis for a signature.

I posted this almost a week ago - and I was hoping this was just an empty threat from Tom "go get 'em ICE" Emmer.
But seeing the video from Vermont, it's clear it wasn't.
I'm *SO* sorry, Vermont; I wish this madness weren't spreading to other states - but it looks like it is.
