♦️“The Stop Corporate Capture Act ♦️is a comprehensive blueprint for #modernizing, #improving, and #strengthening the regulatory system
🔸 to better protect the public,” 🔸
said Rachel Weintraub,
executive director of the "Coalition for Sensible Safeguards."

“The bill would restore #Chevron #deference, ensuring that courts defer to agencies as long as their interpretation of an ambiguous statute is reasonable.

The bill would enhance our government’s ability to deliver results for workers, consumers, public health, and our environment.

And it would level the playing field so that ordinary people
– not just big corporations
– can weigh in on potential rules that affect them.”

More than 70 groups in the 🔸Coalition for Sensible Safeguards 🔸are calling on senators to endorse the bill introduced today by U.S. Sen. Elizabeth #Warren (D-Mass.),

👉The House version of the bill -- #HR1507, introduced by U.S. Rep. Pramila #Jayapal (D-Wash.) in March 2023, already has 74 cosponsors. 

Specifically, the bill would…
• Codify #Chevron #deference, the recently overturned legal principle that courts must defer to agencies as long as their interpretation of statutory ambiguity is reasonable;
• Require #disclosure of changes and the sources of changes made to draft rules during the White House regulatory review process;
• Bar the White House from #unreasonably #delaying essential safeguards;
• Make it a crime for corporations to submit #false #information to regulators;
• Require anyone submitting scientific or technical research to #disclose potential #conflicts of interest;
• Create an Office of the Public Advocate charged with increasing #public #participation in rulemaking, which will give communities that benefit most from new regulatory protections a much stronger voice in the process, including those that speak languages other than English; and
• Authorize agencies to quickly #reinstate rules rescinded through the Congressional Review Act.

@Maker_of_Things @makershour A3 I think learning not to fear redoing things if they are not right is a very important part of my #making and #improving at the things I learn. I used to find it really hard to redo something (especially an early stage) and would bash on but be unhappy with the results. Now I am more likely to stop and think if that error will have knock on effects and if it will i fix it. It is slower but much better #MakersHour

I had a good Friday #eMTB ride today (ahem). About 16km of up & down firetrails and one tough climb. I mostly kept a steady pace, but kicked it up to 70% assist for that hill, & absolutely flew up. Truly amazing. A short lookout break & a steady ride home. Despite the break & taking it easy, I passed my theoretical max HR a few times, & Mr Garmin told me I need 3.5 days rest! 😱

It *was* hard work, but I felt pretty good - much better than last ride. 😁

GOP's crumbling case against Biden on crime, immigration and inflation

Republicans hammer “Joe Biden’s America” as a land of rising violent #crime, surging #immigration and out of control #inflation, but there’s one problem: the numbers are #improving for each of these three measures.

With 2024 around the corner, the U.S. is making measurable #progress in each of the areas where Biden had been most vulnerable to GOP attacks.

One big change in my current #screenwriting process (compared to my first feature) is that I'm NOT thinking about writing a 2hr film. Every day I open my laptop, I focus on #writing or #improving a single #scene. This includes making sure that every bit of #dialogue advances the #plot, reveals #character, or touches on the #themes of the story. Also, when in doubt, go for character, because they are what we remember long after the final credits roll.

Morning Mastodon! 💫 BookTube up! (Patrons, you'll get the next two as sneak peeks soon.)

In today's piece, I talk about 5 different review and/or advertising services Indie writers should consider carefully when deciding how to invest in growing their brand.

(This list includes our very own @liminalfiction: a lovely service with many resources for spec writers.)

And hey! I only digress *once* into talking about my translation work with Tomás Carrasquilla! 😅 #Improving youtu.be/xjtlzD3Ej9E
