Hakeem Jefferson @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social · 11/09/2026At my parents’ place in SC and the number of spam calls they get is insane. Of ~20 calls a day, maybe 2 or 3 are legitimate. I just put them on the Do Not Call Registry, but this seems like exactly the kind of thing a bipartisan group of legislators could crack down on with broad public support. 2737
Pamela Oliver @pamelaoliver.bsky.social · 11/09/2026DNC does not work at all IME. We pay for a landline we don't answer, hooked to an answering machine, and screen 100% of calls. We pick up for people we want to talk to. After a few years, the volume of calls to that line declined. 000
