Would a system to show how elected officials craft legislation and vote against their constituents interests be feasible/effective? Or would the weasels simply ignore it?
If the system provided a simple means for people to provide rapid feedback to officials would it influence their voting habits?

Watching Scrooged which should be required viewing at the holidays.

I forgot how anti-corporate from root-to-shoot it was, but it's got it all: venal commercialism, how fucked corporate culture is, and people getting fucked by medical care.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

This should set off alarms. China didn’t just catch up in AI- it scaled faster, trained younger, and plugged itself into global research networks, including ours. This isn’t hype- ignoring it would be a strategic mistake. #AI #China #NationalSecurity

Here we go. Elise Stefanik changed everything she was, everything she believed in, for power. And in the end, Trump endorsed another dude and Elise is out.

Apparently it's "national security" that a bunch of rich and powerful men systematically sexually assaulted children and young adults for decades and the biggest media and plenty of law enforcement knew all about it

Preventing powerful criminals being held accountable has always been NatSec I guess

🎯 "The U.S. should be funding expanded use of the HepB birth dose in G-B and not experimenting"
A couple more thoughts on the HepB vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau that RFK Jr. just funded.

-A single-blind study is concerning

-The endpoints are unclear, setting up an opportunity for p-hacking

-The U.S. should be funding expanded use of the HepB birth dose in G-B and not experimenting
