Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

Election Day is right around the corner in Colorado! Julie Gonzales is running for the Senate to replace an incumbent who has voted for more Trump nominees than any non-Fetterman Democrat. We need your help to get out the vote for this real Democratic fighter.

Vote NO on FISA extensin w/o warrent protections. Bill Pulte out, AND privacy protections. This admin is corrupt, punitive, and dangerous. Giving them warrantless surveillance powers is unacceptable.

Senator Mark Warner@markwarner.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Trump said the quiet part out loud… he picked Bill Pulte because he wants him to investigate our elections.   This is all just a totally bogus attempt to justify interfering in the midterms.   We must stop Pulte.   We must reject this plot.

The White House is celebrating America 250 trailer trash style! Fights on the lawn! Lee Greenwood! Vanilla Ice! Fireworks! Dozens of porta potties! A pile of rubble! Hosted by a felon with three baby mamas who periodically gets shot at. America 250 is just an episode of Trailer Park Boys

After a major Supreme Court ruling, state-level voting rights acts and redistricting strategies in Democratic-led states are among the limited ways left for protecting racial-minority voters' power.

🖋️ “Ban the sale of my sensitive location data!” (Wash. only) hit 100 signers!

Ban the sale of my sensitive location data!

I expect my sensitive location data to be kept private, and to be able to travel to work, school, worship, or a political rally without that information being sold to the highest bidder, or possibly used against me. That’s why I’m urging you to please introduce and pass the State Location Privacy Act, a model bill from Consumer Reports that ensures my geolocation data is never collected or sold without my permission. Right now, there is no national law banning the sale of Americans’ location data collected via cell phone apps. So states are moving to protect residents, with three states already passing laws that make sure location data can never be sold to others. Please help take the lead on this important issue, and introduce the State Location Privacy Act. You can find more details on this model bill at CR.org/LocationPrivacy.

NEW at Bolts: For years, Colorado has been ignoring a ballot initiative that was meant to eliminate forced labor in prisons. A judge finally said enough, and ordered the state to stop punishing people for refusing to work (for a mere pennies). On the big CO ruling: boltsmag.org/colorado-rul...

Years after voters amended the state's constitution to ban forced labor in prison, a court ruling could finally make Colorado change how prison guards "compel and coerce" work.

Voters in eight states have changed their constitutions to ban slavery in prison, but nothing has actually changed for incarcerated people. Now a groundbreaking ruling in Colorado should make forced labor a thing of the past. boltsmag.org/colorado-rul...

When Nadia Reed refused to work while incarcerated in Colorado, she was punished. She was put in solitary, not allowed to talk to her family, handcuffed, shackled, & moved to a more punitive part of the prison where she was sexually assaulted. A judge ruled Colorado has to change its policies.
