Thank you, @Jess, for posting the California call script for Senator Feinstein again this morning. The drumbeat must continue.

Indeed it must. Called again today. As I will every damn day.

I have been emailing Senator Feinstein's office every day for the last week with a similar script. I am committed to doing this until she resigns. Thanks for all you do Jess!

It was indeed quite a week. One wonders what a renewal of the old That Was the Week That Was show would look like these days.

Almost wish I hadn't cut the cable so I could get in on the Fox action but at least my Congresswoman's staff knows how I feel about McCarthy's Madness.

We need to reach everyone as best we can.

We need to find a way to mix our best ideas together into an amazing smoothie, we streamline as much of our autopay into our “bills” just like you do at home, we save just enough with a buffer for one account like social security/Medicaid and add a little in by saving from the streamlining of the autopay by cutting those costs down and making things reduce costs through paperless and automatic so we never worry about that. When every American gets happier they spend less on overeating, overspending, going on trips further away because they can take a trip closer because if you are happier you don’t have to go as far away. You save money when you are willing to still take your trip but take it. So then just like at home when everyone gets happier so actually save money because you aren’t trying to overspend to distract you from how unhappy you are. So the bills will always be paid and what’s even more remarkable don’t “cut spending” just set aside money equally for each party just like at home to decide where to invest. So flip the script we aren’t going to cut spending we each just get to decide where to invest and since the bills are paid we can get ideas from both sides that will sometimes work and sometimes not but enough will work that we’ll grow together.

Jessica Valenti shows the uptick of violence most of us expected post row. Sad to see.

I guess not all voters know they don't care about them...

A new study from the National Abortion Federation shows that violence and harassment directed against clinics is on the rise. There’s nothing surprising in the report—anyone who has been paying attention to abortion rights knew that this was going to happen post-Roe. That doesn’t make it any easier to see in black and white, though.
