“But, then, there’s reason to believe GOP leaders are trying their best not to make the legislation’s true nature clear to members—or the public, for that matter…The longer the debate goes on, the more indefensible those claims look.”

Don’t know what to say? Check out my previous post!

Don’t know who to call?

Now the Reconciliation Bill is terrible, so a lot of groups will be (rightly) fighting to kill the worst parts of it. We MUST mobilize as well! We cannot allow lawlessness to be the rule of the land.
Folks call your Senators now!! A ban on any state laws on GenAi for 10 YEARS is gonna do unthinkable harm!

For those of you wondering what to say here are two posts you can use to build your own script (use alt script to cut and paste)

Need to find your representatives? Here you go:

I want to remind people that they receive a total of 20 calls per year. If they receive 200 in a single day, they will poop their pants.
Call all of them
Email all of them
Do this every Hour until they understand that your rights are not negotiable
But Karla, does calling even do anything? YES it frickin’ does!

I’ve spoken with so many folks in politics and the ONLY thing that can counteract moneyed interests from getting what they pay for is OVERWHELMING public pressure!

That’s it! Nothing else! Your calls matter! Your attention matters!

When somebody whose immunocompromised child couldn’t get a booster is driven to act out their rage after that child comes to harm, I don’t wanna hear even one “not like this.” These people are enacting murder as public health policy. They are making their own beds.
as @beyerstein.bsky.social’s quote here notes, “be nice to antivaxxers” has not worked.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.

“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”

No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.

Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

Always sobering to see childhood trauma acted out in ways that hurt others, like when a man picked on and bullied by his father goes on to believe that strength can only be expressed through cruelty, compromise is weakness, submission to him can substitute for love. Just thinking about that.

1. In a proclamation issued yesterday, Trump declared allowing transgender youth to transition "child abuse."

He then called for swift punishment of "abuse," with transgender care being his main example.

This is the latest escalation in attacks on trans youth.

UPDATE: At 7:19 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday, Booker broke the record for the longest individual Senate speech previously set by Strom Thurmond of South Carolina in 1957. bsky.app/profile/pbsn...
WATCH: Sen. Cory Booker has broken the record for the longest U.S. Senate speech.

Booker's marathon speech breaks the previous record — Sen. Strom Thurmond's filibuster against the Civil Rights Act of 1957 that stretched for 24 hours and 18 minutes.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
