If fair representation is the goal, why are we packing Congress so tight? Congress could do this today. No amendment. No funky maps. Just a vote. Imagine a Congress that finally represents us all. #FairRepresentation youtu.be/moG7ZOUXHv0?...

Sending troops into US cities against their will. Strong-arming corporations and extracting gifts in exchange for tariff exemptions. Calling on state governments to gerrymander in his favor. Trump is the "big government" nightmare conservatives have always warned us about.

CNBC: So we should expect the US government to be taking more equity stakes in businesses around the country? KEVIN HASSETT: It's possible, yeah. That's absolutely right.

TX Democrats aren’t “fleeing”. They are blocking a vote, not ducking accountability. Now, if they had sent everyone home to avoid voting on releasing the Epstein files... THAT would be fleeing. #TexasRedistricting #Gerrymandering #Epstein

If being born in America doesn’t make you American… what do we do with the kids? What I mean is, if a child is left at a firehouse, what happens to the nearly 7,000 children abandoned each year? No parents. No documentation. Just a kid. So… what happens to the kids? #BirthrightCitizenship

Finishing up my first week at my new job and the IT guy had to remote login to my PC to ‘install’ some software they use… It’s Microsoft Edge… they just changed the icon. I watched them copy and paste the Microsoft Edge shortcut, change the icon manually, and change its name.
