I agree with Maya Sen who said, “The fact that the world’s richest man works at the behest of the executive & can buy out the #legislature is massively outside the scope of what the framers could have imagined. there’s is simply no constitutional measure that can guard against something like this.”

"The best we've had in our lifetime"

GOP lawmakers defend #Musk snatching #Congress' power

"Congress' constitutional power to set the budget... Still, it's shocking to see the #GOP grunts actively argue for their irrelevance on national #television...

they were happy to fanboy out while the Dept of Government Efficiency stripped the #legislature of its purpose."

If you're thinking about moving to KY, don't. If you're thinking about opening a branch of your biz here, don't.

"...It erodes trust, limits our ability to represent you effectively, and limits the public from having a say. If democracy means anything, it means openness—an invitation for everyone to understand, to question, and to speak. These rules...move us in the wrong direction."

SENATE WEEK IN REVIEW January 10, 2025 Senator Reginald Thomas The Kentucky General Assembly has come alive again. This week, the marble halls of the Capitol filled with footsteps and voices, a collective gathering of purpose as legislators reconvened to face the challenges of a new year. It is a scene as old as democracy itself—voices raised, ideas clashing, and the hope that through it all, something meaningful emerges for the people we serve. As is often the case, the first week focused on setting the stage. Committees were formed, rules debated, and traditions upheld. Yet, within this routine lay a moment that stood out—a contentious discussion on the Senate Rules to govern legislative operations during this session. These rules, often viewed as procedural, are far more significant than they seem. They determine how we debate, how we decide, and ultimately, how we serve. I spoke out strongly against provisions in the rules that, in my view, threaten the very principles we are here to protect. Among them is a rule allowing the introduction of a drastically altered version of a bill—the kind that arrives as a surprise, rewritten in a committee room, then rushed through for a vote the same day. Imagine, for a moment, how that feels: a bill you thought you understood is suddenly transformed, and before anyone—legislators or citizens—can digest its implications, it is passed into law.

#California #banned #bilingual #education for almost 20 years. It still hasn’t #recovered

The nation’s most #linguistically #diverse #state has a #tortured #history with bilingual education in #publicschools. The #EducationDepartment can’t — and the #Legislature won’t — do what it takes to #repair the #damage.

There’s one more reason why Democrats will be working especially hard to win votes in North Carolina.

Democrats only need to flip one seat in either chamber of the North Carolina Legislature to break the state’s Republican Supermajority.
