It was capped in 1929 during a corrupt time (by corrupt Republicans) in our nation. Isn’t it time to undo this “century of sadness” and to reestablish representative democracy?

    About 525,600 minutes in a year, but over 700,000 people to represent, so not even a minute per person, even if your representative was robo-cop or ... more

Q: Talk a little bit about where we are with your lawsuit that got that ruling on April 3rd and what updates we've seen since then.
The lawsuit remains in active litigation with motions to enforce and a push toward the preliminary injunction; they are awaiting compliance from the government and facing delays that could undermine due process for unaccompanied minors. A Ninth Circuit appeal is anticipated for related matters, and there is ongoing coordination with litigators across the country to address habeas petition requirements and state-by-state strategies.
Refried Beans | My Other SCIF Is A Signal Chat (feat. Adam Klasfeld) | 4/22/2025
Q: This is a substack-based joint, right? Talk about it. What's going on?

Refried Beans | Bordered on the Risible (feat. Adam Klasfeld) | 4/28/2022
Q: What is the current status of Elon Musk's SEC consent decree and how does it affect his ability to tweet about Tesla and Twitter?
The SEC still has oversight under the consent decree, requiring pre-approval for tweets likely to move the market, and recent rulings affirm that Musk remains subject to the SEC's enforcement powers, meaning any further violations could lead to penalties or new actions.
The Breakdown | FBI in UTTER CHAOS as Kash RESPONDS TO ALLEGATIONS!
Q: What goes through your mind when you read something like this?
The guest explains that someone in such a position is constantly scrutinized and that leadership at that level carries immense responsibility, with the possibility of personal conduct becoming leverage against national security and agency integrity.
