After Maine governor publicly disagreed with Trump's anti trans executive order, a Maine program that automatically enrolled every newborn in Social Security was terminated without notice. Parents now have to bring babies to Social Security offices with hours long wait times. The acting director of Social Security Administration acknowledged he personally ordered this because governor wasn't nice to Trump.

 

Democratic Senators Team Up With MAGA To Hand Trump A Censorship Machine



The exact moment when Donald Trump and his MAGA allies are actively dismantling democratic institutions and working to silence critics, a group of Democratic Senators have decided to collaborate with Trump’s supporters to make it easier to censor speech online.

As reported in The Information (paywalled), several Democratic Senators are teaming up with some of Trump’s strongest Senate allies to repeal Section 230 — the law that both enables content moderation and protects websites from being sued into oblivion for hosting user speech.

They appear to be doing this out of a deep misunderstanding of how the law works combined with an astounding naiveté about how this process will be used by the MAGA faithful. the exact moment when Donald Trump and his MAGA allies are actively dismantling democratic institutions and working to silence critics, a group of Democratic Senators have decided to collaborate with Trump’s supporters to make it easier to censor speech online.

As early as next week, Sen. Dick Durbin, a Democrat, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican, plan to introduce a bill that would set an expiration date of Jan. 1, 2027, for Section 230, according to a congressional aide familiar with the bill’s development. The senators have wide-ranging support from their respective parties: Republicans Josh Hawley and Marsha Blackburn and Democrats Sheldon Whitehouse and Amy Klobuchar have agreed to co-sponsor the bill. And two more Democrats, Richard Blumenthal and Peter Welch, have discussed joining as co-sponsors.

If all goes according to plan, Durbin and Graham’s proposal would be the first bipartisan bill introduced in Congress that could repeal what’s often lauded as the 26 words that created the internet.

Exactly. It goes to show how corrupt even Dems are. Or stupid. Which is just as bad as corrupt.

Anybody who can support any of these people do not care about actually fixing anything. These people are evil, stupid, or both.

I wish I could say I'm surprised to see Amy Klobuchar on this list. But I'm not.

 

Amy is garbage. She thought she had the VP position locked up, but when that Floyd murder happened on camera her dreams were dashed. She's the one that Chauvin off the hook before that if my memory serves me right.

The letters next to their names are for you, not them. It's all theatre.

 

You can only be disappointed if you're surprised. You can only be surprised if you're living under a rock.

 

Removing 230 helps media giants. It prevents any startups from ever competing with them.

 

It is disappointing. Hopefully people will wake up and start forcing the party to change.

 

Maybe thats a good thing? Lots of finger pointing, hate and anger in the Political OT threads.

 

Apparently she likes to support evil things that she doesn't know anything about...

 

She was the county attorney. https://nypost.com/2020/05/29/amy-klobuchar-previously-declined-to-prosecute-cop/
