This is how democracy dies: state lawmakers could've prevented outright lies from being taught in Oklahoma schools, but they didn't. THIS is why we’re laser-focused on building power for state lawmakers who will protect Americans from rightwing extremism. popular.info/p/new-oklahoma…

State lawmakers in North Carolina are on the frontlines of fighting against Trump-led cuts that would take away food assistance to half a million kids in the state. “No one has made life better by taking away food from children who need it.” indyweek.com/news/wake/wake…

The MN majorities we helped fuel in '22 banned cancer-causing forever chemicals. Now, rightwing lawmakers are working to roll back those protections. Special interests are the only ones who benefit from policies like this. heartlandsignal.com/2025/04/21/min…

In a moment when our very democracy is on the line, this is what rightwing extremists are focused on. TSP's work in MN in 2024 to hold governing power means that this radical policy has no chance of passage. Fighting extremism starts in state legislatures. minnesotareformer.com/2025/04/22/mn-…

🆕 IN POLITICO: Relative to the top-of-the-ticket, in chambers where The States Project ran its full program, seats we invested in outperformed competitive seats where we didn’t by 3.1 points. In other words? We know how to win in the states! politico.com/newsletters/we…

Undoing policies that voters just approved? That’s not democracy. But it’s what rightwing state lawmakers are focused on across the country. 👇 propublica.org/article/red-st…
