Studying, writing on, & warning about the Christian Supremacist right since 2004. Before that, in late 90s I warned of global warming. Now, I'm hunkering down to weather the storm, & raising giant isopods in my basement, for fun and profit.

GQP has introduced S.4912 that will allow billionaires to fleece the US. Please call your senators and congress-people and tell them to oppose the BITCOIN Act!!! They want to create a repository that WE will *buy* Crypto Bitcoins that these billionaires and cartels can't sell!
Bitcoin are somewhat analogous to tulips at the height of the Dutch Tulip Mania - they're speculative assets given value by the madness of crowds. S.4912 would require the USG to trade dollars for bitcoin that billionaire techbros own (b/c they, or their pals, created bitcoin, out of thin air)...
I think he's onto something.
I'm convinced that the only thing holding our democracy together is that there are simply too few people with the willingness and the skill set to make fascism happen. A qualified prosecutor would still lose the Comey case, but it wouldn't be this quick and embarrassing.
NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.
Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

Ironically, it seems I’m running into more and more AI boosters who think they can solve problems without the tiniest bit of subject matter expertise, geohazards in my case, because, you know, the AI has the expertise. Do we now have vibe subject matter experts, too?

The EPA has approved two new pesticides with "forever chemicals" that will be used on food.
The agency has also announced plans for four additional approvals.
The approved pesticides will be used on vegetables such as romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.
