Time and again, sweeping reform has followed abuse of presidential power — but not automatically, and not always. Once again, it is time to act.
Here’s Brennan Center President @mawaldman on today’s acquittal.

“When ICE says that they use this technology only for criminal investigations they want us to think of someone dangerous. But something as simple as re-entering the country after a previous deportation is enough to use the technology.” - @AngelSDiaz_ bit.ly/2RTO6K7

“Cuando ICE dice que solo usa esta tecnología para investigaciones criminales ellos nos hacen pensar que hablan de personas peligrosas. Pero el tal crímen puede ser algo simple, como haber re-ingresado al país tras una deportación.” - @AngelSDiaz_ bit.ly/2RTO6K7

"There was very little training, and there was certainly no public testing of the app,” says @LarryNorden about the app used in the Iowa caucus.
Iowa's issues emphasize the need for paper backups and other election security measures.

Technology often fails, but the best election officials know how to prepare. Make sure there are enough emergency ballots. Ensure every vote has a paper backup...
We have time now for those who run primaries to be better prepared.

“It’s bad enough this kind of social media environment where disinformation can spread easily, but...from sources that many rely on, it’s particularly dangerous,” says @LarryNorden to @HuffPost, about the spreading lies that the caucuses were rigged.

The Iowa Caucus was a lesson in resiliency and a reminder that we must have backup systems. Brennan Center expert @larrynorden was on KPCC yesterday to discuss the lessons we must learn from Monday's mistakes. bit.ly/2GVIDfH

Something like the systems breakdown in Iowa could certainly happen again. Here are steps that election officials nationwide can take to be ready, just in case. bit.ly/2s2EnHj

If Senate Republicans acquit President Trump tomorrow, writes Brennan Center Fellow @crfredrickson in the @nytimes, it will signal a five-alarm fire for our democracy. nyti.ms/2RZtjF3

President Trump will be the second U.S. president to give #SOTU while being impeached. President Clinton "had about a 70% approval rating" while "a majority of the public in recent polls want [Trump] removed from office.” -- @mawaldman cbsn.ws/39evHhf

Brennan Center president @mawaldman was a White House speechwriter when President Clinton was impeached. That year, #SOTU was all policy. Will tonight's address have "a more colorful direction"? cbsn.ws/31vhmKr pic.twitter.com/CpwsqXv1X4

In the case of smart streetlights, it's not just about solving crime cases as quickly as possible. There are other considerations to be made regarding privacy and equitable policing, says @RachelBLevinson. bit.ly/31npRHA
