Alright panic over now. They’ve introduced this bill before and it’s died in subcommittee.
Also this didn’t happen today, it’s just getting attention now. It actually happened like 2-3 days ago. Read this thread if you want to know more.

Today, I also come bearing notes from the Judiciary Committee hearing on "online child safety."
+ THE GOOD:
- No vote on any legislation.
- Anger on KOSA in the House being defanged.
- A few new bills, two of them seem ok:
+ the (ECHO) Act
+ the Stop Sextortion Act

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

This goblin is antsy and needs to remind Mom and Dad he's still out there and needs to be President soon, having received the requisite training as leader of Indiana's fifth largest town
Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.
