LWV responds to SCOTUS' 6 – 3 decision in Trump v. United States. This erosion of democracy expands executive authority to give sitting US presidents the powers of a king — which is exactly what our republic was established to avoid. Full statement: buff.ly/3L8wXHG

Good friend of mine reminded me that HOW we approach change can be just as important as the change itself.

Replying to @LWVSC

No one likes homework on the weekend, but we have some pretty important work to do before the Senate gets back to work on Tuesday. Here's what's up with the classroom censorship bill:
