What would a government look like that was determined to improve the lives of all citizens equally? Could such a government exist? If not, why not?

β€œIf Trump doesn’t obey the Supreme Court.” That, he stated would be β€œdifferent than anything else. It’s a quantum leap different, because our democracy is thenβ€”248 years of American democracy, the Magna Carta is out the window, and we will all have to take extraordinary action.”

Minority Leader Schumer,
What is the plan to repatriate Mr. Abrego-Garcia to his home and family?
Not talk about it.
Not ask questions about it.
What specific actions is your legislative body taking to save democracy? Which is what this is.

This is beyond dangerous. Hackathons are a great way to crowd source potential solutions. All the while, opening the doors (wider) to cyber threats and actual Black Hat hacking. On the other hand, it's only the IRS. What could possibly go sideways?

@schumer.senate.gov, step down.

The time has come to enjoy your subsidized book tour, along with the privileges and comforts your career has afforded you, at the expense of our country.

The 10 Demopublicans are a disgrace. Waiting to hopefully win in the midterms is not a winning strategy. It leaves the judiciary as the country's only white knight. And that isn't enough.
It is for the Coffee Party to stand up.

@chuckschumer.com you are saying it is ok to zero out $23B for veterans exposed to toxic burns if you allow this to go through. I ask you to draw in your courage and say NO!

In yesterday's essay, @hcrichardson.bsky.social reminded us of Edmund Burke's observation that by trying to force reality to fit their ideology, radical ideologues will end up imposing tyranny in the name of liberty.

@schiff.senate.gov
Senator Schiff,
Where is your voice, what action are you taking to stop the madness? Where is the coalition of Senators who will stand against the would-be dictator?
What action will you take?
When will you take it?
How can I help?
With deep respect...

They snuck this into a procedural measure yesterday.  How is this legal?  They had the power to stop Trump and they gave the power away.  I guess they just said, we don't want to go against Trump because we are cowards.

How is this even legal?
Congress declares that the rest of the year is just one day so they don't have to vote on stopping Trumps tariffs.

We are in the upside down.

Hmm. Drusk said he is the voice of the common man. Hired billionaires to fill his cabinet. He hired the world's richest meat bag to run the whole thing. Who pulled billions of dollars from common people and is now cutting programs common people rely on. Are people's eyes wide shut?

Could this happen?
Trump halts assistance to Ukraine.
President Zelinsky negotiated an end to the war, and Russia was given significant regions of Ukraine.
Putin presses into Poland.
Because the USA is aligned with Russia, Trump pushes Congress to declare war and America joins the fight.

Exactly right, Kathy. The small amount investors take the loss. The big money came from mobsters, criminals, and Russia.

The US Postal Service is wildly popular with the American people and its service is essential and irreplaceable. Nobody voted for this. It is brazenly illegal, unconstitutional, and corrupt.”

Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA): β€œThe Constitution gives Congress power to establish the US Postal Service. Which it did, by law, during George Washington’s admin. Its status as an independent agency was also established by Congress in law.

In their "Today In Politics, Bulletin 76", Meidas Touch reports that Trump is expected to announce that the USPS will be placed under control of his Commerce Secretary.
This is completely illegal. The constitution gives power to the Congress to establish the postal service. And they did.
