  1. Worse, on the House size, the number is actually the reassessment done after the 1910 census, so we haven’t expanded the House since California (2.37M) had ~200k more people than Alabama (2.1M). New York (9.1M) had 45 reps at the time, compared to California (39.5M) which now has 52.

    We stopped expanding the House in the 1920s, decided the Supreme Court should freeze in the 1930s, added the last states in the 1950s, amended the Constitution only once in the last fifty years.

    The USA and its government continued to grow, but almost all that growth came in the executive branch.

  2. a specific skill I've developed over the past ~20 years is crafting responses to emails sent to me, but intended for that other Naomi Wolf

    email to me:

Our disabled son has CP and bladder spasms so urologist is recommending Botox treatments and we read your article and are concerned about the presence of mRNA in the Botox.  

Is mRNA in all brands?
How can we know if it is in there?
Is there a safe brand you recommend?

He has to have this so what do we do?

Thanksmy reply:

personally, i'd recommend you follow the advice of your doctor.  but what do i know, i'm just a random person you emailed.  I have no more formal education around botox than the author Naomi Wolf, whose advice I assume you were actually seeking.  but since you emailed me, my suggestion is that you listen to your kid's urologist, who is a trained medical professional, rather than seeking out medical advice from someone with an english degree and a history of making significant errors in her research.

best of luck!
