“Congress is in a coma.” — NPR When institutions stall, the people must step forward. The Civic Branch is how citizens restore agency, oversight, and momentum. Democracy doesn’t pause. We evolve. apple.news/Aub6wcwq0TbewQ…

California isn’t broke but trust sure is. When captured institutions fail, citizens pay the bill. That’s why we’re building the Civic Branch: transparency, accountability, and citizen oversight to stop extraction and restore balance. Join us David Sacks Become an Ascender. 🚀✨

When did you realize technology needed moral architecture, not just better code?

Exactly. Agency and taste are human responsibilities and democracy should be where we practice them together, not outsource them or lose them. That’s the work ahead.

We’re entering a moment where technology accelerates everything but meaning, judgment, and care still belong to us. Our Ascent Live exists to explore what democracy becomes when humans reclaim agency together. If you feel that pull, you’re already part of it. ✨

Three branches of government weren’t built for this century. The Civic Branch is the missing piece—bringing people back into the system, not around it.

Stagnation didn’t arrive overnight and it won’t leave by accident. This year brought moments of change, but not enough to heal our state or nation. May 2026 be the year we choose courage over comfort.

Fraud is not just a failure of policy. It’s a failure of oversight. The Civic Branch introduces citizen-led, AI-driven accountability to detect, deter, and reduce fraud at scale. Transparency is infrastructure.

America works best when agency is distributed, not centralized. The Civic Branch is about leaning harder into that. Modernizing participation so innovation and entrepreneurship remain our strategic advantage.

Happy New Year from Our Ascent Live. The year ahead asks more of us. May 2026 be defined by courage over comfort, movement over stagnation, and participation over silence. Here’s to our ascent! 🥂

Cultural decay isn't just social. It's Civic. When people lose real ways to participate, trust collapse. 2025 set the case for the Civic Branch. 2026 is about implementation. California first, then the nation.

A petition to deport a celebrity can gain 70,000+ ✍️. A petition to empower citizens struggles for visibility. That gap isn’t apathy, it’s misaligned incentives. The Civic Branch exists to redirect collective energy toward participation, oversight, and building what lasts.

If technology can scale power, transparency, and intelligence. Why haven't we given citizens the same tools to govern themselves?

Taxing personal property without meaningful citizen input isn't governance. It's distance. A Civic Branch exists to close that gap with transparency, oversight, and consent before decisions land on people's lives.

🔮$1T spent on advertising in 2026 to optimize attention. Imagine applying even a fraction of that spend to optimizing trust, participation, and civic infrastructure.

At what point does disengagement become the real risk to democracy not disagreement?

What would governance look like if citizens weren’t consulted occasionally, but involved continuously?
