And then he did something I never expected.
He introduced me to Charlie Kirk and advocated for me... not as a diversity story, but as someone whose work deserved to be taken seriously. Charlie ultimately invited a Deaf woman with no platform to participate on Election Night. That moment did not happen by accident. It happened because Jeremy saw a person where others saw a profile.
I say this plainly: no one has ever made my identity feel more understood or more respected than Jeremy Carl.
He is frequently caricatured. It is harder to look closely. Jeremy seeks understanding, even when conversations are uncomfortable. He asks questions others avoid. He does not frame people as abstractions. He treats them as human beings.
Senator, I have disagreed publicly with many people. I have not come after you, despite your political evolution and associations some in my circles question, because I believe people should be judged on who they are now. I believe in growth. I believe in second chances. And so far, you have not disappointed.
I ask that you extend the same generosity of judgment here.
Please do not take the easy path of voting against Jeremy Carl based on caricature. Judge him as I have known him: thoughtful, serious, deeply human, and incapable of the cruelty he is accused of.
Respectfully,

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - I’m not. 
I’m told that I’m a factor in denying Carl’s nomination by @SenJohnCurtis office.
I am his constituent. All I want him to do, is his own job. 
I have a right to be angry.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - I try and not ask for help in boosting.
But please boost this. 
I am still reaching out in good faith that he prides himself on a kind Senator. But sending me an email weeks after I sent a heartfelt one, timed just after @realJeremyCarl withdrew his nomination with a literal request for me to follow Curtis on X, is rapidly changing those priors.
@SenJohnCurtis please reach out to me. We can still fix this relationship.

Meanwhile... Governor Newsom's state of California has a CalFresh Restaurant Meals Program (RMP) that allows fast food restaurants to take EBT, the electronic system used to deliver SNAP benefits.
In California, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) is the state agency that oversees CalFresh, including the RMP. 
CDSS receives federal funding from USDA to run the program, and restaurants must get federal approval (via USDA/FNS) to participate in the RMP while working through CDSS.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - SNAP Shock: Far many more millions in Food Aid Spent on King Crab, Lobster & Steaks than the Department of War  
From an official government research study of $6.58 billion dollars in SNAP expenditures, $1.9 million dollars were spent on king crab, $2.2 million dollars were spent on lobster and $28.4 million on select beef loins.  
Federal SNAP spending in 2024 was $99.8 billion. Scaled up, that means SNAP recipients spent $28.8 million dollars on king crab, $33.36 million dollars on lobster, and $430.75 million on steaks.  
DoW spent $2 million on Alaskan king crab, $6.9 million on lobster tail, $15.1 million on ribeye steak.  
Ask any journalist pushing the "Hegseth is spending money on lobster" propaganda if they're willing to cut out those categories for SNAP recipients. They will not be.
