NEW: Democrats have gained control over enough state governments to pass the National Popular Vote Compact and give it a majority of at least 283 electoral votes—13 more than it needs to activate by 2028. My story below explains the path forward for eventually electing the president by popular vote

Map titled “Projected Partisan Control Over State Governments After 2027” from The Downballot. Each state is sized by its 2020 census population and colored by which party controls its government. Full control means the party holds the governorship and legislative majorities. States with divided government where one party holds veto-proof majorities are shown with stripes, since that party has effective control. Population percentages are calculated using 2025 state population estimates. Proportion of population by category: Fully Democratic: 52% Arizona: 2.2% California: 11.5% Colorado: 1.8% Connecticut: 1.1% Delaware: 0.3% Hawaii: 0.4% Illinois: 3.7% Maine: 0.4% Maryland: 1.8% Massachusetts: 2.1% Michigan: 3.0% Minnesota: 1.7% Nevada: 1.0% New Jersey: 2.8% New Mexico: 0.6% New York: 5.9% Oregon: 1.3% Pennsylvania: 3.8% Rhode Island: 0.3% Virginia: 2.6% Washington: 2.3% Wisconsin: 1.8% Democratic veto-proof majorities with Republican governor: 0.2% Vermont: 0.2% Divided Government: 22% Alaska: 0.2% Georgia: 3.3% Iowa: 0.9% Kansas: 0.9% New Hampshire: 0.4% North Carolina: 3.3% Ohio: 3.5% Texas: 9.3% Republican veto-proof majorities with Democratic governor: 1% Kentucky: 1.4% Fully Republican: 24% Alabama: 1.5% Arkansas: 0.9% Florida: 6.9% Idaho: 0.6% Indiana: 2.0% Louisiana: 1.4% Mississippi: 0.9% Missouri: 1.8% Montana: 0.3% Nebraska: 0.6% North Dakota: 0.2% Oklahoma: 1.2% South Carolina: 1.6% South Dakota: 0.3% Tennessee: 2.1% Utah: 1.0% West Virginia: 0.5% Wyoming: 0.2%

NEW: The 2026 elections could lead to enough states passing the National Popular Vote Compact for the Electoral College to activate it by 2028. Dems have already passed it everywhere they can—adding a few more states could give it a majority of electoral votes www.the-downballot.com/p/how-tuesda...

Map titled "Hypothetical Path to Activating the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact," with the subtitle "How the compact could obtain a majority of Electoral College votes by 2028." It is a stylized map of the United States in which each state is labeled with its number of electoral votes. States are shaded in three colors: green for current members, yellow for states possible by 2028, and gray for states unlikely to join. A note on the map says the compact would take effect once states with at least 270 of the 538 electoral votes join. Current members and the states possible by 2028 together hold 290 electoral votes. Current members (222 electoral votes): California: 54 Colorado: 10 Connecticut: 7 Delaware: 3 District of Columbia: 3 Hawaii: 4 Illinois: 19 Maine: 4 Maryland: 10 Massachusetts: 11 Minnesota: 10 New Jersey: 14 New Mexico: 5 New York: 28 Oregon: 8 Rhode Island: 4 Vermont: 3 Virginia: 13 Washington: 12 Possible new members by 2028 (68 electoral votes): Alaska: 3 Arizona: 11 Michigan: 15 Nevada: 6 New Hampshire: 4 Pennsylvania: 19 Wisconsin: 10 States unlikely to join (248 electoral votes): Alabama: 9 Arkansas: 6 Florida: 30 Georgia: 16 Idaho: 4 Indiana: 11 Iowa: 6 Kansas: 6 Kentucky: 8 Louisiana: 8 Mississippi: 6 Missouri: 10 Montana: 4 Nebraska: 5 North Carolina: 16 North Dakota: 3 Ohio: 17 Oklahoma: 7 South Carolina: 9 South Dakota: 3 Tennessee: 11 Texas: 40 Utah: 6 West Virginia: 4 Wyoming: 3 Footer: "States are sized and labeled based on their total electoral votes.

Hey Etsy, I love how you tried to placate artists by implementing new changes and then quietly added bullshit to your ToS, which I highlighted below. After this month, I will be moving my shop. F*ck off.

Okay, so here's the thing. You can donate money directly to NASA (link below). If you donated a billion dollars to NASA, we'd never hear the end of how you changed the future of humanity. They don't have a billion to donate. They'll only build rockets to sell them to NASA. www.nasa.gov/donations/

Donations - NASA

Gifts and donations are used to further NASA’s mission, including advancing science and engineering to sustain American leadership in space. Under 51 U.S.C. §

Good on these students but this sucks. Voting should be easy. (Always a good time to find a voting rights org in your area to support!)

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

Even a small hunt could eliminate entire genetic variants or kill the successful breeding adults that are needed to sustain the population. For my fellow Canadians, please consider writing to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change and your MPs and asking them to oppose Sandhill Crane hunts.

Does @magic.wizards.com not know how sacred trans rights are to those who make Magic & the community surrounding it? We can debate the efficacy of advocacy-through-products; But this'd be one of the few IPs that could organically incite an impactful boycott across play, commentary, & production.
