Genuine question: why not advocate for complete defunding of ICE? Is that not possible for Congress to do, even theoretically? I fail to see what additional regulation will achieve when ICE is already shooting/arresting citizens, flashbanging families, and fully racially profiling.

Abolish ICE, please. Half-measures like body cameras won’t do anything if they’re already kidnapping and shooting people in broad daylight with half a dozen people recording on their phones.

This isn’t the first recent change where I’ve seen clues that internal PTO guidance is vague or straight up inaccurate (see the new fee schedule), but procedural clunkiness is one thing, procedural clunkiness *on top of* a major lockdown of public data is another. Glad you’re bringing it to light.

This is an anti-democratic move. It’s also really, really, really personally annoying, as I have not been able to get a straight answer from the PTO whether current registered users need ID verification for continued access… called someone who said no, but your screenshots seem to say otherwise?

Why did you vote in favor of the GENIUS act, then?

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.

Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)

Gavin Newsom can be reached by phone at (916) 445-2841 or messaged here if you'd like to tell him exactly what you think about his transphobic bullshit.

Thank you for signal boosting!!
