Good/interesting things I noticed recently

Pennsylvania Dems held their one-seat lower-house majority in a special election, and Joanna McClinton remains Speaker.
Nevada Dems advanced their NPVIC amendment to the next legislative session. Needs another majority vote in both houses in 2025 before it goes to the ballot in 2026.
Lots of good new laws passed in Minnesota.
Washington State legalized building more apartments. Still some more work to do, and it may take some time before homelessness is less rampant in the Seattle area.
Rose v Raffensperger: while the Grimberg ruling is being appealed by the state to the 11th Circuit, the plaintiffs are asking for Grimberg to redraw the GAPSC map.
Texas Dems led the passage of the CROWN Act, sending it to Abbott’s desk. Literally their only legislative victory this year.
Dems flipped the Jacksonville mayor seat. Small victories down there.
Alaska Supreme Court rules against partisan gerrymandering.
Connecticut and Delaware are half the way from sending amendments to legalize no-excuse mail voting to the voters.
Michigan passed adding abortion to their nondiscrimination law
An LLM has been used in a BCI to interpret brain signals into words
San Francisco appointed D’Arcy Dollinger as their first drag laureate.
Montana Dems led the passage of a ban on prison gerrymandering.
