learned of allegations of sexual misconduct (including assault) from six different people.

Ezra Klein explains why he supports proportional representation:
With #ProportionalRepresentation, “it matters whether you appeal to people who are skeptical. It creates competition for voters who are currently disenfranchised," like California Republicans or Texas Dems.

To those who did not live through that time it is hard to explain how revolutionary and powerful it was to have Barney Frank on the national political scene, being unapologetically himself.
He was flawed. He drove friends, enemies, allies, everyone, nuts. He was an obnoxious SOB.

63% of Americans say our government isn’t doing enough to protect our environment.
So why doesn't Congress act? They don't need support from a majority of voters to get elected.
Ranked choice voting changes that. Meredith Sumpter & @rankthevoteusa.bsky.social's @eileenreavey.bsky.social explain.

America will get proportional representation one day. And sometime far in the future, we will look back and think: why did it take us so long?

The Supreme Court killed voting rights and escalated the gerrymandering wars. Here’s what Congress needs to do in response
