EFF helped take down a bogus podcasting patent with the public’s help. If the PERA or PREVAIL bills pass, that fight wouldn’t be possible today.
The PERA and PREVAIL Acts Would Make Bad Patents Easier to Get—and Harder to Fight
Two dangerous bills have been reintroduced in Congress that would reverse over a decade of progress in fighting patent trolls and making the patent system more balanced. The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act (PERA) and the PREVAIL Act would each cause significant harm on their own. Together, they form a one-two punch—making it easier to obtain vague and overly broad patents, while making it harder for the public to challenge them.

SNAP helps 42 million Americans at or below the poverty line afford groceries every month, but under Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill this food assistance risks being taken away or reduced.
Children would go hungry to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. It’s dangerous and immoral.

State and DoD IGs should be reinstated and investigate along with the acting ICIG.
DOJ and the FBI would normally investigate such breaches and prosecute any crimes committed. Bondi and Patel can't do that without political interference, so a special counsel should be appointed for this case.
