@MalloryMcMorrow shares why connecting with voters can be as simple as understanding the day-to-day frustrations they’re experiencing, meeting them where they are, and yes, sometimes that means talking it out over a beer at the local brewery.

As I said yesterday…
New: Members of Congress and governors are under increasing pressure to regulate AI, but more than two dozen of them told us they don't use the technology or have rarely done so.
Many are older, influential lawmakers.
One House Democrat called it "f*cking absurd," arguing, "Anyone who's overseeing this has to be someone who's a regular user."

Working class people aren’t running for office. A new study shows that hardly any state and national leaders in office have had working class jobs.
No wonder politicians are so disconnected. washingtonpost.com/politics/…
