One of the yes votes was Cuellar, the Democrat who Trump recently pardoned, stopping a bribery case against him.
Had the three Dems who voted for this held the line and voted no, they could have blocked it.

I cannot stress enough that most ppl don't ever even think about calling their reps. I talk to ppl in my fam about it and they go "Huh? What?". But your reps work for YOU. They need to know what you actually care about. When we call in big numbers it ALERTS them, cuz they rarely hear from us.
Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

Dang this is some damning info:
1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

More Americans got measles this week than Olivia Nuzzi’s book. Guess which got more press coverage.
1. Measles is ravaging South Carolina.
Over 100 people infected, and hundreds more in quarantine.
In response, RFK Jr., the nation's top public health official, has been SILENT
But it's much worse than that. RFK Jr. and his allies are undermining confidence in the vaccine
