We need #RankedChoiceVoting for all elections!
FairVote@fairvote.bsky.social · 4h ago➡️ @tanglenews.bsky.social went to Alaska to learn what’s changed since the state adopted ranked choice voting & open primaries. After years of gridlock, state lawmakers now consistently work together to get things done. Why? The reforms push lawmakers to reach all voters, not just a narrow base.

NEW: Maryland Democrats just passed a constitutional amendment that would let them redraw the congressional map for 2028 in response to Republican gerrymanders elsewhere. If voters pass it in November, Democrats could enact a map like this earlier proposal to target the lone Republican, Andy Harris

CMS is ending Medicare's Part D premium stabilization subsidy after 2026. Standalone drug plans could see big premium hikes in 2027, putting 25M seniors in traditional Medicare at risk. Review your plan during Open Enrollment Oct 15! #RepublicanMedicareCuts
Trump promised he wouldn’t touch Medicare. Then he signed his Big Beautiful Bill that triggered billions in healthcare cuts, massively gutting Medicare. It was never beautiful. And now it's a Big Deadly Bill for anyone on Medicare. This November remember #RepublicanMedicareCuts

SMH. I just want EVERYONE to know, I have NEVER EVER voted Republican. I don’t want to be connected or associated with this sh*tshow. I’m still in disbelief from the last election. EVERYONE saw how the GOP ran the House under Biden, AND STILL voted them in. Just incredible.
