Tell them to vote no on nominations of Russell Vought, RFKJr, Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard.
Tell them you are outraged that Elon Musk, an unelected official, has locked civil servants out of computer systems containing our private data.
That is the least everyone can do.

Dan Rather admits that legacy media is now caput. I’m glad to hear him admit this, and I feel if he and other media leaders had made this transition known earlier, we might have been able to do something about it.

I don’t mean “free” as in no cost, I mean free to express the truth. https://open.substack.com/pub/steady/p/heartbreak-for-cbs-news?r=2q0o2c&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email #Journalism #freePress

Today it's angry and mean with no obvious proximate cause except an imaginary failing economy, an imaginary immigration surge, and imaginary depredations by the Deep State, all of which the proletariat expects to be solved by a felonious kleptocrat who’s busily manufacturing crises in these and other areas. #USPolitics
