In 2018 the top 100 individual donors to New York State candidates gave more than all of the roughly 137,000 small donors combined. The most effective solution: small-donor public financing. Read why in the latest @brennancenter report.

The census case shows how the 5 GOP-appointed #SCOTUS justices could set rules for politics years to come — on issues from redistricting to voting rights — that constrain the influence of the growing minority population, and thus help the GOP retain power.

Two of Chief Justice John Roberts’ top priorities are on a collision course as the Supreme Court nears a pivotal decision this week on the Trump administration’s design for the 2020 census.

Incredible to see a bill that my @BrennanCenter colleague @yurijrudensky helped draft pass with a unanimous vote in NH Senate 🙌🏽 New Hampshire is officially one step closer to having #FairMaps . Read more about partisan redistricting in NH in our op-ed:

working for a CEO who sees my career as an influencer as an asset to my full-time role, rather than as an excuse to not take me seriously is honestly so refreshing. 💜

Funny story: three years ago last month, @BrennanCenter filed a public records (FOIL) request with the NYPD, asking for information about their predictive policing program. At the time, we thought they were using Palantir, and we wanted to know more. 1/

it’s so weird to me that we keep pushing this narrative of remote work being isolating? i’ve spent more time with my family this year than ever before, prioritized my health by going to the gym/classes + make an effort to work from cafes with friends.

Great read by my @BrennanCenter colleague @LizaGoitein : By prosecuting Assange for publishing classified information, the DOJ is drawing a line the First Amendment simply doesn’t draw — and is threatening the freedom of every news outlet in the process.

FINALLY talking about today's #gerrymandering decision. The court ruled that we can no longer use federal courts to fight partisan map-drawing. Now, the power is in the hands of American voters. #DemDebate2

Congress had the time and refused to give the president the authority he sought. Resorting to emergency powers to get around the objections of lawmakers is a brazen attempt to undermine the constitutional balance of powers.

A quick mention of Russia interfering in our elections — but no plan for how to secure them. Good thing the @BrennanCenter has it covered. Here’s what needs to be done before the #2020Election .
