Where’s the petition asking that Trump resign?

Checks out, we were just at 511 and with this and get another digit.

Let’s move on buddy. Mike Johnson should resign. Ted Cruz should resign. Donald Trump and JD Vance should resign. Focus your fire on those responsible for wanting to destroy the state, not on those who couldn’t do enough.

I get the frustration because Dems should have gotten more. But this pain belongs 100% to Trump & the GOP. They WANT to health care more expensive and unobtainable for tens of millions. Democrats want to make it more affordable. Maybe Dems could have gotten more, but the die was cast 1 year ago.

10 November 1929 | A Czech Jewish woman, Helga HoΕ‘kovΓ‘-WeissovΓ‘, was born in Prague.

Deported from Theresienstadt ghetto to #Auschwitz in Oct 1944. Her father was murdered in a gas chamber. Helga & her mother were moved to Freiberg & liberated in Mauthausen.

Today she turns 96. Happy Birthday!

I think AOC is the only Democrat currently in congress that could win the 2028 nomination. I don’t see how any senator gets nominated with this millstone of a deal.

Tesla has about 125k employees earning $100k each. That’s $12.5B/year. Let’s say that average rate doubles in a decade, total compensation to every employee is about $250B. The conceit is that Musk would be 4x as valuable to Tesla’s performance than everyone else put together. Absurd.

I guess the prosecution's case didn't cut the mustard.

I really like the idea of a large lower house where each representative personally knows a good chunk of his or her constituents. It's a half measure between direct democracy and typical representative democracy-- each house member stands for 700,000+ people.

One route could be to split the houses thusly. Upper house is a full time job, w/ staff, salaries. They hold hearings, write legislation, develop the budget. But then it has to pass the lower house as well, who come in once a month or whatever for vote-a-ramas. Simply acting as the People's Voice.

”onlyβ€œ 400. That’s one for every 3000 people. Maybe that’s the right way to do it, but if they want salaried legislators they probably need to reduce the size of the body by 75%.

Don’t they have like 2000 elected representatives?

Ellis acknowledges federal agents' assertions justifying thier use of force, but says, again,
"I don't find defendants' version of events credible."

I mean, this guy hated New York 25 years ago for being a cosmopolitan city. It already couldn't get any worse! I, for one, look forward to having some goat meat served by a sidewalk vendor on my next trip to New York, right after exiting the #7 train.

@schumer.senate.gov don’t you dare cave. Do not agree to cut health care for working Americans in exchange for a hollow promises of future votes. Stand strong. Clean budget resolution should continue current policy, which means the enhanced ACA subsidies.
