Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: They're out there saying 'we just passed a bill to eliminate taxes on tips & taxes on SS benefits.' NONE of that's in the bill. But they deny that they're cutting Medicaid. So they want credit for popular stuff that isn't in the bill but ignore the deeply unpopular stuff.

Donald Trump is lying to you.

While we are busy watching and rewatching Vamp treat people like sh!t, Kentucky’s legislature is drafting a bill that creates a state version of DOGE (HCR 50 / SB 257).

If this concerns you, call 1-800-372-7181 and leave a message for your state legislators.

While we are caught up in the parade of horrors in the Oval Office, Kentucky’s legislature is working to allow cities to be sued for having a fairness ordinance (HB 177 / SB 60).

If this concerns you, call 1-800-372-7181 and leave a message for your Kentucky state representative.

Fairness Campaign: "Today the KY Senate advanced a bill that does little more than create 'Jackpot Justice' for special interest groups like Alliance Defending Freedom, which is eager to sue KY cities and counties with local Fairness Ordinances that protect #LGBTQ people from discrimination" #kyga25

This bill just cleared the Kentucky Senate by a 29-7 vote. Chris McDaniel the only GOP member to vote against it. #kyga25

UPDATE: Bill is being passed over in the committee, sponsor says they are still working on some changes. Actually, no... chairman Petrie says they will discuss the bill, just not vote on it. #kyga25

Government efficiency is when every federal agency has to send a daily emergency email to its workers telling them to ignore another daily email from a different department trying to fire them without knowing what their jobs are.

I served the people, not the president as US Attorney. That's the oath. That's the job. That's why you don't put people who haven't worked at the Justice Department in charge of the Department, or people who haven't worked at the FBI in charge of the FBI.

For most folks, democracy is local.

So get out and run for office.

The people are demanding change. Don’t just wonder when that change will happen.

Be that change.

YouTube video by tennesseejed93 SchoolHouse Rock - No More Kings

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

There are not adequate words for the many reasons this idea is idiotic

Trump imposes 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum | CNN Politics President Donald Trump on Monday imposed a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports into the United States with no exceptions or exemptions.

Donald Trump is making you pay more for beer so he can give tax breaks to the wealthy.

Nearly $7 million has been “apportioned” over the past week to cover DOGE-related expenses.

New addition to this: Today Gov. Andy Beshear unveiled his own page of fiscal notes for bills in the #kyga25. These appear to be his office's own creation, as most of these don't have a fiscal note attached on their LRC pages. governor.ky.gov/fiscalnotes

KY bill would punish parents who leave guns where kids can get them. Will it go anywhere? House Bill 120 would require gun owners to safely store their firearms in homes and vehicles if children are present.

Kentucky bill would punish parents who leave guns where kids can get them. Cheves on the Democratic bill that faces long odds with GOP supermajority. #kyga25

Rep. Jared Bauman, R-Louisville, filed a bill to "prohibit local governments from obstructing the repatriation or identification of criminal illegal aliens within the commonwealth."

@navtbrat.bsky.social Agreed. I keep saying the same to friends, “Follow the money.” It’s always about the money.
