I called the WH to express my outrage over the ongoing government hack and was hung up on as soon as I said Musk’s name. There is no way to leave a voice message and the WH contact page is a 404 error. (I have already contacted my senators and congresswoman)

If you're looking for a place to do some work, the public library is like a coffeeshop where you don't need to buy anything and there's a lot more space and you can stay as long as you like and you don't get any coffee.

BREAKING: In a victory for voters, the U.S. Supreme Court denies an appeal from Montana officials seeking to reinstate two voter suppression laws. The state wanted SCOTUS to use the radical independent state legislature theory to overturn a decision from the Montana Supreme Court.
