***Joyce Vance has good advice for collective action today.

She advises that we call members of the Senate Finance Committee to demand they stop Musk’s takeover of government financial and communications systems.

Will inform my Senator, Chris VanHollen, D-MD, of this option.

I may do the contact form rather than call.

Some of my favorite senators are on this committee.

How will that stop him? These people are lawless and know that whatever laws they break will end with a pardon. And we know how our highest court feels about everything being presumptively legal, so that avenue is also closed.
