Find Your Representative Find your representatives. Learn how to find and connect with them. Stay informed about their bills, committees, and contributions.

I just called my US senators and told them to publicly call for Tim Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting and apparently breaking the hand of a Marine today.

You can call your Senators, too.

Find them here: reps.fyi

We are seeing things never before seen, like a senator breaking the limb of a marine exercising his constitutional rights objecting to an illegal war, and then telling a voter to go fuck himself. Crazy, crazy shit. (Warning, you'll witness the break happen)

β€œAt the end of the day, she didn’t sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,” said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. β€œIt felt like a betrayal of the utmost.”

Cunningham’s comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was β€œno longer worthy of being our representative” and he had to run against her. β€œIt drove me to a point of saying, β€˜She needs to go, and she needs to go now,’” the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotte’s Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%.

THIIIIIIIIIS.

And not just here. All over the place.

Like, I’d love a future Dem President to say β€œI’ve scoured the Constitution and can’t find a β€˜major question’ rule anywhere in it. So I’m just going to ignore that effort to arrogate power to yourself. That imbalance? Checked.”

Trump Admin stopped opposing the lawsuit against Biden Admin's major new income-driven repayment plan, which rendered the lawsuit moot before a settlement could be reached. Oops! Now that plan is the law until further notice.

given the jingoistic tendencies of American media it is extremely common for war to start at a higher approval than the actual president

that Trump’s opening salvo is being met with his (abysmal) disapproval rating almost exactly - to start! - is a horrendous sign for him

Trans Kansans are Right to Distrust Federal Courts Transgender Kansans are challenging a new discriminatory law in state court, refusing to leave their freedom up to an untrustworthy federal judiciary.

Trans Kansans do have state law on their side

The state supreme court has recognized that Kansas's constitution protects "the right of personal autonomy" including "the ability to control one’s own body," "assert bodily integrity," & "exercise self-determination”

I gotta hand it to Altman here, deciding to sign up to be the new face of the regime’s AI efforts right as they start an unpopular and out of control war with Iran was a real masterstroke in PR

bonus points for letting a major competitor position themselves as The Ethical AI Company
