I added a minor enhancement to provide better alerts for legislation impacting an interest to my Grok Bot - Civic Filter

Grok Bot emails with a + notation are reportedly working again now. My first test passed. I will do some later to confirm. No news is good news. If it fails I'll update below.
I've been very happy with my public affairs bot, "Civic Filter". It's saved me time dealing with the election BS and only alerts me when there's a quality signal.
Give it a try!

Grok Bot is bringing back courtesy. A couple of times after an email exchange was done it suggested writing a thank-you note. Since it can compose the note it makes being polite both courteous and time efficient.
Companies will start paying attention to calls from Grok Bots when the survey comes back about why the customer didn't buy says the rep hung up on the bot.
Reposting this in case anyone didn't see it yesterday. Grok Bots need to be reinstalled for changes so I wan to make sure anyone who wants to be included is included.
An important history lesson -- Starlink terminals were always for civilian use. There is a different system for military. Using a civilian system for military use is a TOS violation.
In hindsight, it was a mistake for SpaceX to send them thousands of free Starlink dishes and millions of dollars a month in free service at the beginning of the war.
What started as internet access for civilians became the backbone for autonomous killing drones. And now if they don’t support military use, they get skewered for it in the press.
Voting in California is getting notified that your ballot "will be counted" after you were told by the results by the media.
Omarchy folks -
I'm working on a Grok Bot to help find some of the wonderful gems since there are so many that it's hard to keep track of them.
If you have any sites that you would like the bot to check please comment below so I can include them.

I had a hunch that the day would come when we would elect someone not based on their race, but on their leadership, skills, and merit. And guess what? It’s an African-American, and I couldn’t be prouder. If you agree, please share this so more people can witness this true history-making moment. Unfortunately, the media won’t cover this because he’s a Republican.
My kids use an online school that has an API. I’m working on an Omarchy plugin that gives me at a glance status updates.
The interesting thing is testing it shows dirty data from the API…

LOL Idaho is voting on a state gun. This is the most Idaho thing I’ve seen
Introducing Civic Filter!
Don't waste time on political news. This Bot will produce a summary when you want it about the policy news relevant to you for example regulations that impact your life and hobbies rather than the generic horse race.
