Items I would like to see on every ballot in every state:

1. Term limits for Congress
2. Terms for Supreme Court Justices
3. Maximum age at which a person can run for/be elected President. We have a minimum (35), so let’s set a maximumβ€”say, 65.

Does anybody remember the premise of the old tv series, Designated Survivor, starring Kiefer Sutherland?

For the love of the Constitution, the rule of law, the truth….the media need to stand up and fight! Call out trump’s people on their lies. Present documented evidence to disprove them. Sue trump and each member of his cabinet for each lie. Paper them into oblivion. Be brave; don't cave!

We can’t get Congress to act. The highest court in the country is in Trump’s pocket. Republicans are attempting to overthrow our government. We need to fight back. American Revolution, part 2!

You know, once upon a time we asked France to help us win our freedom from a King. What is stopping β€œWe, the people” from asking Canada and our European allies (that also detest Trump) to help us take back our democracy?

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

I may be ignorant of our rights as U.S. citizens, but can someone explain to me why we, the people, cannot simply demand an END to the present governmentβ€”executive and legislativeβ€”and conduct a new election. We could have a temporary governing body comprised of our former living Presidents (no DJT)

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

He isn't in the militaryβ€”never servedβ€”so should NOTsalute. He is disrespecting our Veterans and militaryβ€”again. My husband is a Vietnam Vet and he loses his s***t every time he sees this coward saluting β€”or attempting to do so.

Can blue states not start the process for recall elections of republican senators and representatives from their states? They are supporting the illegal access of musk and minions to sensitive personal information about Americans, failing to support and defend the Constitution.

Congress should be coming together to stop President Musk because he is circumventing the Constitution and closing departments/firing federal employees. Congress is next on his hit list. He will disband the Legislative branch because a king (oligarch) doesn't need a Congress, just a yes man.

Arrest musk. He was not legally appointed to anything. He does not have clearance for access to any information he has gotten. He needs to be charged with conspiracy to overthrow the government. Pick Trump up, too. Send in the military.

Forget Congress. Arrest Musk and charge him with treason, espionage, conspiracy to overtgrow the government. Remove Trump from white house under guard. Have him charged with same.

HELL YEAH! Congressman Jim McGovern TORE Speaker Mike Johnson a new for saying it wasn’t β€œhis place” to question Trump’s January 6 pardon.

β€œNot your place?? WHO THE HELL’S PLACE IS IT?” He said.

β€œHow about you stand with the officers who protected you and not a reality show wannabe dictator.” πŸ’™

And trumpty-dumpty is old and frail. He has to paint himself orange, dye his hair, wear a hairpiece, girdle, and diaper to try and fool people into forgetting he’s senile. So, standing in the cold would likely result in pneumonia and death. He can’t possibly allow that. He has a country to destroy.

Peter Hegseth didn't wake up today thinking that it would be women who'd hand him his ass in front of millions of Americans watching.
