This is a fantastic project on the history of Boston’s women voters post-1920! I’m delighted they have a website (just in time for women’s history month) but you should also follow them for the many wonderful stories they’ve uncovered
It would be nice if statements by members of Congress on the U.S. attack on Iran started with something like:
“This attack is an unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s war powers.”

This is the best post I've seen like this so far. H/t @chandlerprof.bsky.social
The EPA is eliminating a Clean Air Act finding from 2009 that is the basis for much of the federal government's actions to rein in climate change.
The SAVE Act would force many rural Americans to drive hours just to register to vote. This bill is voter suppression.
I'm a Gallup pollster. You can contact them at galluppanel@gallupmail.com to let them know what you think of this.
Screenshot of an X post from FactPost quoting Rep. Johnson questioning a proposal to require passports to register to vote, noting that many Americans do not have passports and asking whether the $150 passport fee would be waived to avoid creating an unreasonable poll tax. Below is a CNN screenshot showing a woman speaking remotely, with a banner reading: “DHS FUNDING TALKS AT A STANDSTILL AS DEADLINE APPROACHES.”
Thank you, Julie Johnson, for speaking out against the grotesquely misnamed SAVE act. We need you to keep fighting for us in the House.
