America's first voters are mad at Trump. @PoliticsReid spoke to several of them:

"This knowledge graph is the base layer of this business." @StateAffairsUS is making accessible what's publicly available, and digging up what's not.
My conspiracy theory is that AI is going to be the death of most conspiracy theories. Listen to our search for truth combining government information and nonpartisan reporting at @StateAffairsUS with @suffiyanmalikk
State Affairs CEO Evan Burns explains what sets us apart...
More Americans believe we’ll colonize the moon before we fix K-12 education. This is a policy problem.
We have been building a solution that’s already trusted by many of the Fortune 500 as well as 1/3 of federal and state elected officials in the United States.
Organizations are more impacted by policy than by financial markets. Yet financial markets have been real-time for decades, and policy markets are still nearly impossible to follow.
@StateAffairsUS has raised over $70M from @rabois, @khoslaventures, @foundersfund and others to fix that.
We are creating the world’s first real-time knowledge graph for policy and regulatory markets. This platform is foundationally built on non-partisan journalism and the collection of on-the-ground data that isn’t digitally accessible.
In the future, we believe every executive will watch policy markets the way they watch financial markets. Instead of reacting to regulation, they’ll navigate it proactively.
Policy should iterate at the speed of our most innovative industries.

“Whoever wins that governor’s race is probably also gonna sweep in a majority with them.”
@PoliticsReid, founder and editor of @PluribusNews, says Arizona is a key race to watch, with control of both narrowly divided legislative chambers potentially moving with the governor’s race.
I'm really excited about what we're building, adding journalists to statehouses for nonpartisan coverage and creating a platform that makes being immersed in what's happening across 50 states actually feasible.
Today we're announcing $70M to build the intelligence infrastructure for the policy and regulatory economy and our story is featured in @nypost.
State Affairs is the AI platform for policy and regulation, already trusted by one-third of the nation's elected officials and by government affairs and legal teams across the Fortune 1000.
Policy gets made in statehouses long before it reaches Washington. Thousands of bills, hearings, and regulations moving across 50 states at once. Our edge is exclusive journalism and original data gathering. We have one of the largest statehouse newsrooms in the country, 2,000+ original stories a month, and on the ground data gathers that both power our AI with signals no one else has.
