From Rep. Katie Porter:
' we need to protect Social Security and Medicare, and stand up to big corporations (unlike my opponent who has said he would cut Social Security and Medicare).

Let me be clear: Prices are high because of corporate greed and price gouging. Congress should have the courage to stand up to them. I’m proud to be leading the fight to stand up to corporate special interests, and thankful to have your support so I can continue my work in Congress."

Wisconsin Republicans Stand on the Verge of Total, Veto-Proof Power

In a 50-50 battleground state, Republicans are close to capturing supermajorities in the State Legislature that would render the Democratic governor irrelevant even if he wins re-election. #politics #election #midterms

Many of us are particularly sensitive to folks calling @th3j35t3r a grifter because J is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE.

Our host gives of his OWN resources to cover the difference when the community misses the 100% mark, which has been every month save a few rare exceptions.

Doing this while constantly improving, managing, and protecting the place we call home.

Grifter is egregious and completely wrong.

CoSo is a labor of love, not financial leverage.

#CoSoTips

For all the new folks !

Glad y'all here. You might find the layout confusing at first. But it really is efficient, and information dense.

CoSo is best viewed on the web. Because you have more real-estate to set up columns the way you want.

Click on any Hashtag, like #cosomusic, or any other, a new column will appear. On the far right. You can pin this new column so it is permanent.

Users Guide

https://counter.social/userguide.pdf

If you click on a hashtag you will create another column on the right for posts using that hashtag.

You can use the settings box
to pin that column to always be visible. From there you can add more hash tags to that column so all your interests are in one place.

Not guaranteed by the Constitution, you say? You know what else isn't guaranteed by the Constitution?

That there be only 9 SCOTUS justices.
