We don’t cover elections so we too often need help understanding who’s running and what the issues are in our respective states/districts. Bolts’ guide is _invaluable_. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

@old_hippie@veganism.social at least. We load images on initial election and rarely change them. Only exception I can think of is when we changed Ayanna Pressley’s picture when she decided to start going public with her baldness. It was a significant change and seemed warranted.

Even though the CLARITY Act is not currently active, it might come back and learning what Congress was considering for regulation of crypto is still worth your time. So: https://www.govtrack.us/posts/627/2026-09-29_the-clarity-act

The US government has always given itself wide latitude to classify information, so this is probably legal. But even if it is, it’s an incredibly cynical and obviously political move to prevent any pushback on whatever they’re doing (or not doing) with Congressionally appropriated funds.
