I celebrate every victory for voting rights, but this one is particularly special. No issue has been more hotly contested or more important to PA voters than this one. The DSCC and DCCC fought hard and it is great to see them prevail. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

If Congress actually gave a damn about our data privacy, they would’ve passed a sweeping data privacy bill, not a bill targeting TikTok.

TOGGLE OFF.
You have to go through each app. My garage app, my BANKING APPS, others had that turned on automatically. 😡

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.
Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place.

i think the basic answer to this is "for god's sake, write a law if that's what you want to do." the paralysis of the American legislature has gone on for so long that most Americans have developed this weird Iron Age mindset that the law is an immutable thing alterable only by courts and judges.

It's hard to convince younger people the economy is actually great, when they're able to directly compare what they get for their money - ESPECIALLY when it comes to housing - with what their parents and grandparents were able to get.
