US citizens: phone key senators' offices to oppose any FBI nominee chosen by the troll.
Republican senators deny that Troll Jr's behavior verges on treason, and even that it is grave.

It has been clear for months that Republicans are traitors to the United States, in a deepers broader sense that is different from definition of the crime of treason. They are trying to destroy or pervert every democratic institution in the US, to crush them down so that the people will have no way to resist whatever Republicans rulers might subsequently do.
From eliminating filibuster against Supreme Court nominees, to nullifying ethics rules, to sabotaging federal agencies, to fake news, to violent threats, to eliminating network neutrality, to gerrymandering, and then to voter suppression, the Republican attitude toward the United States is, "We will grab power and never let go of it. By hook or by crook, we wlll."

Atlantic City and other parts of the New Jersey coast are being inundated by sea level rise due to global heating.
Slightly higher costal areas, owned by rich people and businesses are getting seawalls to protect them for some more decades. The lower-lying poor people's houses are being left unprotected.
While in one sense that is unfair, it may necessary; sea walls could not protect the low-lying homes for many more decades. It might be better to buy them out.
