Congress could use some ALOHA: A Akahai - Careful offering of kindness, gentleness, being unassuming L Lokahi - Obtaining oneness, unity... O Olu'olu - Cool, refreshingly agreeable, congeniality H Ha'aha'a - Humility, modesty A Ahonui - Great breath, patience, tolerance
Hey folks! I have a new Substack trying to make sense of what #philanthropy nonprofits, and everyone else can do to be pro democracy now. It’ll draw lessons from my time at Democracy Fund and stuff I’ve learned from PoliSci and History. Hope you like it! open.substack.com/pub/nowwhatneh…

New Members of Congress! This is for you!!
Seats in Congress don't come with a user’s manual. So our team of former Hill staffers created Gavel In, an explainer podcast series designed specifically for Members Elect of the incoming 119th Congress. Learn more: popvox.org/blog/gavel-in
Rep. Cammack joined @popvoxfdn for conversations about congressional offices, what she wish she knew before taking office, and how to hit the ground running in Congress. Listen to her segments in episodes 2, 7, and 9! ⬇️

Thanks for sharing @congressfellows!!
Congress is modernizing— what changes has it made on the technological innovation, capacity, and engagement fronts over the past few years? 🧐 Read more about "future-proofing" Congress from @POPVOX: popvox.org/futureproofing
Great reporting here from @BGOV @MaeveSheehey @BPC_Bipartisan @BPCAction joined this letter w/ civil society that echoes @RepAnnieKuster & @RepDerekKilmer's calls for a more sensible calendar and bipartisan retreats to make Congress work better. static1.squarespace.com/static/60450e1…
House members are already brainstorming how to write the rules of the 119th Congress to avoid the historic chaos of the past two years. Before they head for the exits, I asked six influential lawmakers what they'd change. For @bgov: news.bgov.com/bloomberg-gove…
Investigation by @JStein_WaPo, @federicacocco & @PeterWhoriskey exposes lobbyists in the influence industry paid by foreign governments, authoritarians & companies—from Kremlin oligarchs & Chinese tech firms to arms dealers—to roll back sanctions, or have them imposed on rivals.
The @washingtonpost used OpenSecrets data to expose the sprawling influence industry of lobbyists and "revolving door" U.S. officials making millions off sanctions by advocating for the interests of oligarchs, authoritarians and foreign corporations washingtonpost.com/business/inter…
Short thread
It’s such a cool story: “A bulky magnetic tape reel… contained, by some reports, over 100 million words of text in French and English. It was the sum of fourteen years of Canadian parliamentary dialogue: a computer-readable version of Hansard” thewalrus.ca/how-canada-acc…
The "ad hoc caucuses" may eat time, but they drive collaboration. @newtgingrich specifically cut the funding for bipartisan caucuses to make less space for cross-partisan collaboration. This is a genuinely dangerous idea. I wish @pkcapitol said so.
…. More wild ideas at reforming House: * shrink committee size by only giving members 1-2 assignments. * increase ability for popular bills to move quickly on suspension calendar. * cut number of ad hoc caucuses that eat time & drive division. * and finally: proxy voting! …
… yes, allow proxy voting for people who legit need it. Like women in final weeks of pregnancy or up to 6 weeks after giving birth. Members battling severe illness. Those are some of the ideas out there. Drop yours in here and I’ll retweet. Here’s link: washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
