Today at the Capitol, we remember the brilliant Navajo Code Talkers who used their language as an unbreakable code to help secure victory in the Pacific during WWII.

A trial court strikes down the Republican Trojan Horse attempt to kill the Protect Education Act citizen initiative to rein in ESA waste, fraud and abuse. HCR2048 hid its poison pill behind “protection” for military families.

Legislative Democrats have filed an amicus brief supporting a lawsuit against HCR2048, Republicans’ shady “Trojan Horse” effort to kill the Protect Education Act disguised as protecting ESA vouchers for Military families. That’s a measure with two purposes and the Constitution only allows one.

Tune in now to Legislative Council as members craft and debate the description of ballot measures that every voter will see in their voter’s guide. The language is supposed to be impartial but Republicans in the majority have a history of making edits to put their thumbs on the scale.

We celebrated a huge budget win today after securing the nation’s toughest moratorium on tax giveaways for data centers.

Happy 4th of July! 🎆🇺🇸
