I’m not quite done with this yet. When a United States senator calls a witness who is testifying voluntarily “a dirtbag” it’s not nothing. His colleague smirks thinking her party has trapped the witness in perjury until realizing that their little conspiracy is uncovered. They’re all disgusting 🤢.

In 1988, California banned public financing of elections — one of the best methods to counter the power of Big Money. Voters can restore it this November by voting YES on Prop 4. Watch.

The president said at his bogus convention this is “going to turn out to be one of the most important elections.” Looks like reality has finally reached his consciousness. He knows his party will lose b/c everyone’s aware by now that he & his Republican lackeys in Congress don’t know how to govern.

A legitimate question and everyone knows the answer. But to the broader point, this situation and others in recent years make it exceedingly clear that a government run by septuagenarians & octogenarians who grew up in a different era is not what we need in a time where AI & tech is front & center.
