My Father, the Senator
Coffee shop politics. What a waste of time!

Every Wednesday, I stand on the corner on 7th Ave & Glenrosa with a dozen or so others holding signs of #protest against the #Republican regime.
We’ve been at it for 20 weeks. We’ll keep going. A near-constant presence is what we need. And is what we’re doing.
Today, U.S. #Senator #RubenGallego was being driven to a town hall in #Phoenix, saw us, and had his driver pull over so he could chat with some of the #RhRR regulars.
You should join us: https://rhrr.us
I happened to take a snap of Library of Congress's Annotated Constitution in January (for some other reason).

If I were #american I'd be #phoning my #Congress #congressperson and/or #senator right _now_.
As #California starts to think about the new #governor we have #assholes like #Senator #KatiePorter's #antisemitic ass being #complacent in the #Gaza genocide. She's happy to use religion to hide #genocide of brown kids while claiming she'll be a "good leader" for the state of #Cali. Meanwhile, we have an actually decent #candidate in #DrButchWare.

In a striking move, a Republican senator urges Donald Trump to "release the damn files" tied to the Jeffrey Epstein controversy, reflecting a rare bipartisan call for transparency. As public interest in Epstein's connections intensifies, this bold statement signifies a break from traditional party lines. The demand highlights the pressing need for clarity on these critical issues.

Come to the #Fediverse, where you can have the opportunity to commit a faux pas with an actual sitting federal #Senator of your actual nation state!
Cantwell's got to go. Long past time for a #Primary challenger.
A Constitutional Blunder
They year 1912 brought the 17th Amendment to the US Constitution. The senators used to be appointed by state legislatures. Now senators were directly elected.
So was this an improvement in democracy?

So, #Trump is famously #lazy. Can't be bothered to read briefings, doesn't like working in general, would rather be enjoying leisure while paying a young woman to follow him around with a wireless printer, printing out any news stories she finds where people say nice things about Trump (no, I am not joking about this).
So people point to the amount of time he just takes off from "work" to go golfing. See, for example:
https://trumpgolftrack.com/
It's pointing out that of the 163 days he has currently spent in office, he was actually out-of-office golfing for 38 of them.
I'm not sure why these 38 / 163 days are a big deal. The Democratic party has been absent for 163 of them.
Can somebody PLEASE tell #ChuckSchumer to fuck off?
A piece of wood would be a more effective #Senator and wouldn't write so many letters.

#Senator Thom Tillis (NC-R) announces he will not run for reelection in 2026, after being viciously attacked by #Trump for voting against his spending and tax bill. He stated independent thinkers in Washington had become 'an endangered species'. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c628vd100pro
Letter to a #Senator / 22 June: Mr. #Tillis, I oppose the provision in the #OBBBA that permits the sale of #federallands to offset the #taxbreaks included in the bill. Relying on the sale of assets to cover ongoing expenses is demonstrably poor fiscal policy. It’s not #sustainable. 1/5
