    Yeah, how dare a sitting member of the Senate Finance Committee target an American company worth over a billion dollars price-gouging the most important TLD on the Internet and arguably violating antitrust laws. Doesn’t she know that politicians are each only allowed one issue to care about? And that now she’s wasted hers?

    Edit: Also, she’s literally the chair of the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Economic Policy which – you guessed it – includes issues regarding the Federal Reserve. Keeping an eye on the Fed is something she does as part of her job. Here’s her three days ago yelling at the Fed. Because that’s her job.
