As expected: GOP thinks they can do a better job picking up my garbage than my elected Mayor and Councilmembers can.

I think the appropriate strategy right now is to flood the zone. Email, call, postcard your congresspeople, congressional leadership, the White House. Constant and continuous. On every action you find objectionable and illegal. Flood the zone.

My favorite GOP idea cited in this Probublica article: eliminate Head of Household as a tax category. Because really, shouldnβt single parents pay more to help billionaires?

Just to be clear: Musk and Ramaswamy are acting as volunteer lobbyists. Since they are not being paid, they have no disclosure requirements. I suspect this is why they are asking for more volunteers, and not paying staff, to help them.

Thanks, great tip!

I had a D&C when I was 46, because I was hemorrhaging due to perimenopause . I worry about the impact of abortion bans on womenβs heath care writ large. I donβt think the (mostly male) lawmakers have any idea of what sound medical practice is for women.
