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.

A bill cleared a Kentucky Senate committee that would let people sue government & individuals for being compelled to act in contradiction to their religious beliefs. Critics say it could destroy local anti-discrimination ordinances in a deluge of lawsuits. From @sylviaruthg.lpm.org #kyga25
Kentuckians could sue government over religious liberty violations under proposed bill
People would be able to sue governments and potentially individuals over state and local actions that they believe violate their religious beliefs under a proposed Kentucky bill.

A last-minute committee sub to a bill that's about to be heard in a Kentucky House committee appears to now require the Beshear administration to submit a Medicaid work requirement waiver to the Trump administration. The earlier version of the bill only allowed them to submit a waiver. #kyga25

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.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
