- Return to the American Ideal: Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Equal rights for all, regardless of race or religion

- Restructure Congresional benefits and remove the ability to set pay and benefits from Congress.
- Institute term limits.
- Remove districting design from elected representatives at all levels.

- Make Social Security effective and fiscally responsible, and the same with Medicare.
- Enforce (the real) immigration laws.
- No new taxes.
- Simplify the tax code. Fewer regs, many fewer words in the code, less code is simpler code.
- Ignore the whataboutism. Ignore the ad hominem attacks.

- Remove ALL contributions from politics: yours, mine, theirs. No PACs. No corporate contributions. Fund campaigns with tax dollars, and every candidate gets the same funding.
- Limit campaigns to three months. The elected need to spend time governing, not campaigning.

Spend your time telling us what you will do to get this country back on track:

all citizens; get healthcare for all citizens, including mental health care (which might just start to address our homeless). Keep it simple. Create a platform with execution points. Hammer this relentlessly. Stop responding to the MAGA craziness. Show us what you will do.

Along with a plan for how you are going to focus on these few things. Forget all the other stuff. Get to the basics: spend less than we bring in and start to reduce the debt load; adhere to our laws including immigration law and insider trading law (apply current law to Congress); House and feed

Hey @housedemocrats.bsky.social maybe y'all ought to start hammering on the out of control spending (deficit increasing like $1b/month), along with their moral depravity and disregard for our rule of law. Like, you could form a platform around these things and consistently campaign on them...

Today's investing lesson from Cliff Asness (and Jason Zweig writes about this often) "The investing world is incredibly adept at explaining to you why what has been happening for a while is now going to happen forever."

Two: Blood on the Tracks; Never A Dull Moment. Or maybe three: Fly By Night. And then there's Axis: Bold As Love. And Led Zeppelin I.

He was a beast and a velvet hammer. Loved his game. My favorite guy was Cowens. Parish is up there, though.
