One of the most exciting bills in CA: SB 457. The bill would give households tax credits for *not* having cars. A two-adult household with no cars would get a $5,000 tax credit. If they had one car, they’d get $2,500. Two cars, $0. openstates.org/ca/bills/20212…
So much good stuff going on in the California legislature right now!

Despite this fact, those very same legislators are the people deciding who has the right to an abortion, what sports teams kids can play on, who our healthcare system is for, and how and where people can vote. And we’re just getting started. 👉 (Find your rep at @openstates)
Tomorrow is my first day as the new Money-in-Politics Reporter at @OpenSecretsDC! Everyone I've met has been kind, whip-smart, and deeply committed to collecting and analyzing data on how money influences politics and policy, and I can't wait to get started.
I met some of my colleagues in-person for the first time since I joined the Times at the beginning of this year, and can’t remember the last time I laughed this much at work. It’s a good feeling 🤗
so many HTs to the @openstates API which makes this possible — they round up the meeting info and publish it in a way that bots can call up and tweet 🦾
✨ I carved out a little bit of time to work on a new scraper using Spatula tonight. It's one of the best scraper tools I have used, but I probably need to blog about it so I can remind myself of what I forget in the weeks/months between using it. 😅 github.com/jamesturk/spat…
Going out on a limb to say this probably powers the bot in a very winding and indirect manner 😃. In any case, James’ work definitely does in a _very_ big way over at @openstates

A fun question I like to ask: What are you a top 1% consumer of? For me, I've listened to to Mac Miller's Tiny Desk concert probably 1000x. A friend claims to have eaten more Costco cashews than 99% of the population. What's yours?
