DISGUSTING POTUS! While decent people express remorse, forgivness, & the need for healing, POTUS blatantly claims he HATES HIS OPPONENTS. Not nessarily enemies, just anyone that disagrees with him. How long do we pretend this is normal? Where is the outrage? youtu.be/s9Qv3c-R4RI

It's time to bring representation back to the people in a meaningful way. bsky.app/profile/3000...

ALGORITHMS: It is doubtful that we are going to shut down social media, but we can begin to strictly regulate algorithms now. Not 6 months from now, but now! This is how we start to take back control of high-tech societal manipulation for economic gain.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE, as AI reaches its maturity, bipartisanship is necessary, if not inevitable. A functioning bipartisan government is much better than a dictatorship at resisting the likely confrontation of humans v. algorithms, and at interacting internationally to control AI globally.

CONGRESSIONAL RULES THAT REFLECT THE TIMES would not have allowed the Trump takeover. The country is approximately 28% GOP, 28% DEMs, and 41% Independents, yet a bill cannot even get a Floor vote without GOP Speaker approval. Existing rules prevent bipartisan solutions & subvert checks & balances.

THE PEOPLE'S VOICE HAS BEEN DILUTED: The population-to-House representative ratio has grown significantly over time, from one representative for 30,000+ people in the early years to over 760,000 people per representative in the modern era. House Member accountability has been reduced significantly.

WHY DO WE EVEN TALK ABOUT BIPARTISANSHIP? when Congressional rules are specifically designed to frustrate bipartisan solutions & provide power & control to the majority party; even if the majority is less than 5-10%. Small majorities are not a mandate for political control. The country is divided.

FLAUNTING DICTATORSHIP: "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States." No more information needed. tinyurl.com/5j8atbwe

WHY THEY DIDN'T VOTE: The status quo has failed them; politicians are phony and put their own political interests above the people’s. No matter who they vote for – they have little expectation that their vote will make a difference to their daily lived experience. tinyurl.com/3wjd5a6d

WE DON'T WANT GOOD GOVERNMENT: Let's face it, if we wanted "good government" we wouldn't allow Congress to create & revise their Rules of Operation, & we wouldn't let them determine the geographical boundaries of political representation. These issues could be resolved if we wanted good government.

DAILY DEM NEWS BRIEFINGS: Democratic leaders, please call for a regularly, scheduled, daily news briefing to respond to what Axios calls the "The overwhelming, all-consuming nature of Trump-driven news cycles..." The media will certainly cover it. Random sound bites don't work.

THE ART OF THE DEAL???? The new 15% trade deal on Japanese imports will be far less than what U.S. automakers face. U.S. makers are hit harder with steel, aluminum, and 25% parts tariffs. U.S. makers will lose billions, while Toyota and Honda could consider closing U.S. plants. tinyurl.com/yj7apt58

GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN + EPSTEIN: During a government shutdown criminal proceedings & investigations would likely proceed. Civil litigation & the release of documents, could be significantly impacted or delayed. Trump might like the confusion & diversion of a government shutdown. tinyurl.com/yc6nmcb4

SHUTDOWN POLITICS: 7 Senate Democratic votes will be needed to fund the government past Sept. 30. Despite warnings, there's no united Dem strategy. To avoid another Party meltdown like in March, Dems should unite & educate the public on the pros & cons of a government shutdown. tinyurl.com/56s622yn

SCOTUS COLLAPSE: SCOTUS has now fully revealed its disrespect for the Constitution & the Rule of Law, while enabling POTUS to expedite his blatantly criminal behavior. See dissenting Justice Sotomayor's full description of the Court's disgusting support of Trump's criminality. tinyurl.com/bdfyjwpu

DEM TRYOUTS FOR 2028: Democrats definitely need a Leader, NOW, before Midterms -- an articulate, charismatic leader. How about a Dem presser, each day, to counter Trump/MAGA shenanigans, with a new leader audition every week until the right one emerges. You'll know the Leader when you see them.

TRUMP ON SHUTDOWN STEROIDS: Just like in March, Democrats are in control of whether we have a government shutdown on Oct 1, 2025, or not. BUT, remember Trump's powers can be significantly amplified, including taking over domestic communications, seizing Americans’ bank accounts. tinyurl.com/3bzuasub

GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN: Democrats should begin a major public education campaign NOW, if they plan to hold firm on their warnings about not supporting the GOP cuts being proposed. The GOP cannot pass their budget cuts without Democratic support. The deadline to avoid a shutdown is September 30, 2025.

FACT-CHECK TV: America & voters desperately need a new dedicated network: "FACT CHECK BROADCASTING (FCBC)." A dedicated network to uncover & report "facts" could begin to hold accountable the existing networks, print & social media, & political party sources. AKA "2-SIDES." E.G. tinyurl.com/34juvdea

Congressional Rules are the root of divisiveness in D.C. politics. If we improve the rules we improve the politics. Party candidates must pledge to support & adopt MAJOR Congressional Rules Reform from bipartisan INDEPENDENT EXPERTS. Here's a start from expert reviewers. tinyurl.com/czdxkbzw

House offices are closed, but their inboxes aren't. Let's get 1,000 more out by midnight: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

THE FOUNDERS VOMIT: They warned us of the "evil" & the "spirit of party" that had "its root in the strongest passions of the human mind." Could they have imagined that the esteemed SCOTUS would find a way to make it legal to violate the Constitution & the Congress would just say okay. Here we are.

BURIED IN BBB Section 70302: restrict federal courts’ in holding government officials in contempt of judicial orders. Section 43201(c) House bill: ban on the enforcement of all state & local laws that regulate artificial intelligence (AI). share.google/gDGskkvgJ9n5...

Republicans are running ads in Michigan, maybe elsewhere, about how wonderful the Big Beautiful Bill is going to be for the middle class. I haven't seen any Democratic counter ads.

TRUMP MAGIC: Because Democrats just criticized Trump's action, & never offered or articulated an alternative strategy for stopping Iran's nuclear development, the public is left with Trump's declaration that his illegal, unconstitutional action was the most successful military operation in history.

2-WEEKS: POTUS, "I may bomb Iran, or I may not." Watch this space. Yeah, Yeah, we've heard this before. Now is the time for Democrats to lay out clearly, a fact-based assessment of the pros & cons with the endorsement of military & intelligence pros. Unlike a decision by Trump & his clowns.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY DISARRAY: A search on BlueSky = old postings. "NO" this is not old news. It's now & must stop! Lowest poll ratings since 1990s. GOP is more favorable. Dems should be set for a massive Midterm victory, BUT not if they keep their ridiculous divisive bickering. tinyurl.com/4vwvfeaw

POTUS REVEAL: Trump indicates it would be a waste of his time & he wouldn't know what to say to offer condolences regarding the MN political assassinations. Do you need any more information about this heartless thug?

AFTER "NO KINGS": 5 million activists in 2,100 locations just emerged to say, "NO!" to Trump. This historical national protest was not organized by the DNC, but a coalition lead by the nonprofit organization "Indivisible," & the informal 50501 group. Contact them. indivisible.org www.fiftyfifty.one

A PRIMER ON PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY: "Presidential immunity [Trump v. United States] is a democratic catastrophe." It "does not merely shape presidents’ behavior. Its effects cascade... to push subordinate behavior in undesirably lawless directions." tinyurl.com/592ne5hf

A POEM FOR THE TIMES: With less than 5 months in office, agencies destroyed, economic chaos, military on the streets, a U.S. Senator in handcuffs, a military parade upcoming, widespread corruption, & disregard for the Constitution, I revisit a poem I wrote February 4, 2025. tinyurl.com/5e9j5sxp

​"Deploying the armed forces in cities risks US soldiers killing US civilians. It also risks... provocateurs, including foreign ones.. will try to kill an American soldier to provoke a disaster. (Trump’s birthday parade seems practically designed for such an incident...​" tinyurl.com/4m7pe9am

TIME TO REMIND: To win the 270 electoral votes, Harris only lost by 231,646 votes in WI, MI, & PA out of 155+ million cast. 90 million voters didn’t vote. With only a 100-day campaign, it was difficult to overcome a decade of lies, backed by the GOP, Fox News, & the richest man in the world.

THE DRIP, DRIP, DRIP of government insanity. It's hard to bear. Like Chinese water torture. Please make it stop. Watching the country torn apart & destructed. The news is unbearable. Like being forced to watch the death of a starving child. It only takes a few Republicans to make it stop. PLEASE!

PROGRESSIVES + CENTRISTS = WINNERS: Democrats must learn the lesson of separating critical issues from others. Democracy, the rule of law, less money in politics, separation of powers, & equal rights. We need to FOCUS ON CRITICAL ISSUES, WIN ELECTIONS, & save the many other worthy issues for later.

With a final Supreme Court ruling all but certainly coming down the pike, Trump has been gifted the ultra-powerful, unbounded presidency of Project 2025’s dreams. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/supreme...

THE INDEPENDENT PARTY: This article got me thinking about the broken 2-Party system. Maybe now is the time to be talking about the Independent Party, 43% of U.S. adults. A time for new dynamic leadership & a new vision for the USA. The 3rd Party we already have. tinyurl.com/3jcam9dh

TOP-DOWN ECONOMICS: You have to ask: What if the TOP already have more money than they need, and the economy is still bad? Maybe we should be encouraging the TOP to do more with what they have, instead of taking money & services from the needy & poor, to give more money to the $500,000+ folks.

WE'VE BECOME IMMUNE TO INTOLERABILITY: It used to be a very big deal: When someone was caught in a lie; When there was evidence of corruption; When there was heartless cruelty; When there was immorality; When laws were broken; &, When the government didn't work. Now it's part of everyday life.

THE GAME PLAN: A Democratic fundraising message says: "𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻. We sink our teeth into 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 last opportunity on the map." SORRY, This is not a "plan." What are you going to do? More importantly, what are you going to do new & different to counter the total destruction of the country?

DOGE = Data Oligarchy Gotcha by Elon. He may be leaving, but his DOGE data team is still on board, sucking up your data. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

WE TEND TO FORGET: Back in 2018, when there were still a few POTUS guardrails in place, Trump pushed every button of "the powers of the presidency to shape a MIDTERM ELECTION." Imagine what might happen as we move toward the 2026 MIDTERM ELECTION. perma.cc/G58K-2NGR Also: tinyurl.com/2xyuaurk

ELECTION SECURITY: The most important Midterms in decades are just 18 months away. Many are hoping the results will right the country's sinking ship. Many things can go wrong, possibly cancelation. The media, states, & experts need to begin serious discussion & analysis of the risks & security.

NEW MESSAGE FOR DEMOCRATS: We're the party for civil rights, democracy & the rule of law. We are also the party that really cares for very small businesses (<20), small family farms, new ways for citizens to be heard, & education & skill training beyond high school. Vote Dems! tinyurl.com/ae7zeaeh

WHAT'S THE PLAN? Trump, MAGA & GOP are wrecking the U.S. & its reputation worldwide. They are implementing their plan. Democrats continue requesting contributions for random, scattered efforts. Democrats must develop & publicize a nationwide plan to win the Midterms & defeat the GOP wrecking ball.

THE PRESIDENT'S LAWYERS: Trump has deferred responsibility of his disrespect for the Rule of Law to his "brilliant & wonderful lawyers." The media needs to focus on these individual legal deviants. Citizens can file ethics complaints & publicize actions. See: statesuniteddemocracy.org & ldad.org
