Every blue-state legislature could do this literally right now.
This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time. There's a clear a way to end Citizens United by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

Stunned that this isn't being discussed on Twitter (not really), but RUTGERS is leading the way with an idea to combat the bullshit that is striking US academia. I knew someone was gonna propose something like this. Proud that it's RU. The Big Ten better fucken bite.

Ensuring all citizens have an equal opportunity to participate in New Jersey's political process is fundamental to our democracy. The "John Lewis Voter Empowerment Act," advanced yesterday, would help protect that right for minority voters. Learn more: https://t.co/VxmdUJOlsp

As our @nuzhatjc points out - there’s a real urgent need to protect voters, New Jersey. https://t.co/l9mxwQrFDE

With efforts to bolster the federal Voting Rights Act unlikely under Republican control of the new Congress, advocates are refocusing on state protections against racial discrimination in elections.

Join us tonight for the People’s Hearing on the future of New Jersey’s ballot design!
As we redesign New Jersey’s ballots, the question we should be asking ourselves is how can we be the most voter friendly - not what can we get away with? Join us for this crucial hearing! https://t.co/ac1TPtJv19

THIS is the central question. “How can we be the most voter friendly” Thank you, @nuzhatjc for making it plain. If the legislators use this a foundation, the answer is clear— and well known in 49 other states and 2 counties in NJ. #ballotdesign #abolishtheline @NJWFP @NJ_ISJ

i can't think of a leader less equipped for this moment than @GovKathyHochul, my god
Gov. Hochul calls on Trump to fund the MTA, the Hudson River rail tunnel and the Second Avenue subway. She says she'll work with him on those issues, but if he tries to hurt New Yorkers: "I will fight you every step of the way."
