Hi, it’s Al Franken.
I don’t usually send messages like this, so I’m hoping you’ll read to the end for a GREAT story.
Before that, though, I want to tell you about Peggy Flanagan.
She is unbelievably great and she’s running to keep Minnesota’s Senate seat blue.
Her end-of-month fundraising deadline is tonight so I’ll get to the point: Please donate now.

Headlines this morning: Pam Bondi has ordered the arrest of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, alleging they were participating as part of a protest.
Lemon and Fort state they were not part of the protest and instead were there as journalists covering the story.
Ordinarily, federal prosecutors would not be involved in investigating & filing charges for a protest. I'd expect the local police and prosecutors to handle that. IANAL

AFAICT, they were just looking to make an example of some protestors. Just good old harassment via the legal system.)
Now the family has lost work and impending legal bills on top of that new transmission. I’m sure they’d appreciate it if you can chip in a few bucks:

I distributed a few hundreds of my stickers ISO8601ultras, "We do not test on animals, we test in production" and "Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Ankh-Morpork?" in almost all sticker boxes around #39C3 this morning.
If you still don't find one, write to me, we can meet between talks.

The leading vaccine regulator at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a far stricter course for federal vaccine approvals,
following claims from his team that Covid vaccines were linked to the deaths of at least 10 children.
Experts suggest the announcement will make the vaccine approval process significantly more difficult.
