Call your reps! Here's our suggestions!

* All your reps must call for Peter Hegseth, Michael Waltz, and any other people involved in the disastrous Signal leak. Our electeds need to be on this every day.
* FOR YOUR REPRESENTATIVE: Demand they oppose H.R. 1526, the No Rogue Rulings Act, and any other attempt to rewrite the federal court system.
* FOR YOUR REPRESENTATIVE: Demand they oppose H.R. 22, the SAVE Act, which will create unnecessary barriers to voter registration and disenfranchise countless voters.
* Protests Trump's unlawful deportment and enslavement of innocent Venezuelan immigrants - Impeachment isn't out of the question.

Now let's look at the bad things in Trumworld. It's depressing - and it's stupid - but each time Trump, Musk, and the GOP do something awful they hand us a tool to pry away their followers and rally good people. It's a shorter list today, everyone must be getting tired of being stupid and evil.

Good article in The Prospect about the coming STABLE and GENIUS acts, which will give an implicit bail out guarantee to crypto money laundering firms - sorry, i mean "stablecoins" - like #Tether and #Circle (#Coinbase). One of the two would also let #ElonMusk print his own dollars.

Senate #Democrats like #KirstenGillibrand, #ElissaSlotkin, and #RubenGallego, whose election campaigns were supported by incredible amounts of crypto money, will probably make sure these bills become laws (because they are corrupt).

Note that stablecoins are currently incredibly profitable businesses. After all a stablecoin is basically a bank where you spend nothing on anti-money laundering & other regulations, refuse to assist customers who have been scammed, and collect 5% interest from the US government while passing absolutely none of it on to your customers.

Every line in this Sac Bee column is a beautiful murder.

“[Newsom’s podcast with Charlie Kirk] is merely the latest pairing of two mediocre white men who think their conversations are interesting enough to be recorded.”

“I’d rather listen to Chico State frat boys debate their favorite IPA than spend a single moment listening to Newsom and Kirk.”

“ The fumbling, bumbling, disjointed Democratic party in America right now is on full display for all the world to see — and apparently listen to— in one foolish package called Gavin Newsom.”

In case you missed it, our governor has a new podcast and his first guest was Charlie Kirk and he agreed with him on all kinds of horrible anti-trans things.

sacbee.com/opinion/article3015

Ok there I did it. I got over my aversion to phone calls and called Governor Newsom's office, called Senator McGuire's office, and called Assemblymember Connolly's office.

Let them know how I felt about the Governor throwing trans people under the bus, and what I expected from them going forward.

The folks who took my calls were lovely, so that was nice. Now I just need to get in the habit of doing it more often, and including my federal reps.
