Thank you @sanders.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov & @aoc.bsky.social for introducing the most comprehensive federal Flock ban ever!

This bill is the gold standard because it not only bans the cameras on a federal level but it bans the use of the data, which can be used to AI to target anyone.

NEW: Kalshi and Polymarket are fighting states over authority to regulate their billions of dollars in sports betting as gambling. Donald Trump Jr. has large stakes in both. The companies have been loading up with revolving-door hires from both sides of the aisle... đź§µ

Sludge headline, "Trump's CFTC Is Suing States for Kalshi and Polymarket, Backed by Trump Jr." : https://readsludge.com/2026/09/28/trumps-cftc-is-suing-states-for-kalshi-and-polymarket-backed-by-trump-jr/

The Trump administration is trying to help prediction market companies like Kalshi and Polymarket prey on vulnerable Americans.

“Y’all are going to need a bigger hospital.”

Already burdened by petrochemical plants, Louisiana is facing a wave of gas-powered AI data centers—and their pollution.

Flock and other camera company CEOs were asked to answer questions at a @judiciarydems.senate.gov hearing tomorrow. All of them refused. This is a clear attempt to avoid accountability. The American people deserve answers.

Sign the petition and tell Governor Newsom to reject Trump's scheme to end net neutrality: act.demandprogress.org/sign/ca-net-...

@demandprogress.bsky.socialSep 17, 2026, 4:22 PM

Today, a California commission will vote on a plan that risks trading the state’s net neutrality protections in exchange for federal broadband funding.

@governor.ca.gov has a choice: step in and reject Trump’s money or take the dirty deal and sacrifice California’s sovereignty.

On Sunday, the Trump administration missed a statutory deadline to declassify a FISA Court opinion from March that reportedly finds more Section 702 compliance issues affecting Americans’ rights. The administration is now in violation of the law. 1/18

Companies like Zillow have captured the markets through which Americans find, rent, and buy their homes. They restrict the listings that buyers can view, and drive up hidden fees. State attorneys general must investigate these anticompetitive practices.

@demandprogress.bsky.socialSep 16, 2026, 1:27 PM

NEW: We’re calling on the National Association of Attorneys General to implement structural fixes in the housing market. Last month, the FTC settled with Zillow and Redfin just hours before their trial was set to begin over their deal to shrink the online listings market.

I cannot overstate how important solid, progressive staffing is for congressional offices — and how hard doing that hiring is. PTP exists to train up a stable of awesome future staffers to take our organizing power to the halls of Congress. Would encourage serious candidates to check it out!
