Trump, who blatantly wrote on Truth Social that he wants to “terminate the Constitution” and openly promised to become a dictator on “Day One,” is completely on board with this plan. That’s just the beginning of the agenda, and it has a name: Project 2025.

Throwing out of congress the insurrectionists.
Free higher education for ALL!
Protect Women's Rights.
Ever since Franklin D. Roosevelt pushed for Social Security, Republicans have used the word 'socialism' to scare Americans. Remember that capitalism keeps many of us 'just the working poor'.
I like Bernie because he has endless patience for important things and no patience for Bullshit!
I backed Bernie in 2016 (I ran for congress) when he ran for the Democratic nomination for president helping to open many offices here in Ohio and going to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia as a member of our Bernie delegation. I took a lot of crap for doing this from Clinton people, but I'm glad I did it.
Roles include representation, legislation, constituency service, oversight and investigation, and advice, personal office management, and electoral activity.
Novel by Ray Bradbury
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
The founders, acting as representatives of the people, constructed a framework of governing institutions atop these principles and authorized them to exercise the legislative, executive, and judicial powers necessary to govern the country. In doing so, they granted America's political institutions the ability to act based on the consent of the American people.
The Constitution assigns all federal legislative powers to Congress for a reason: It is where the people's most direct representatives govern. If a member of Congress votes to enact laws of which the member's constituents do not approve, the people can replace the member in the next congressional election.
If we want to return to a government by the people, we need those we elect to Congress to commit to keeping executive agencies on a short leash.
Policy and process are important. And they are deeply intertwined: Policy takes shape within a process, and if the process is a closed one, very few members will see themselves as lawmakers. This can't help but deform not only how they work as members of Congress, but also how they understand the purpose and role of the institution itself.
Increasing the number of members in the House would dilute the influence of special interests on legislation. The more members there are in the House, the more difficult it is for lobbyists to capture a majority of members on any given bill. This would help liberate legislation from the grip of special interests and steer it more forcefully toward the public interest.
The defects can be separated into three categories: substantive, procedural, and structural. The substantive problems relate to the atrophying of Congress's legislative power. The procedural problems relate to how the House is run, specifically with respect to how legislation is crafted and how the House calendar deforms the institution's work. The structural problems concern the size of the House.
Gun violence is a top concern.
The affordability of health care and drugs.
Drug Addiction.
Climate change is a very big problem for our country and the world.
Inflation remains a minor concern.
Immigration policy is a very big problem (Remember that Republicans in 2017 would not give Trump the money for his wall.)
Affordable housing.
Free higher education that is not controlled by fascists. (Republicans in Ohio control all Boards at state Universities)
- 1 SAVING OUR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC from FASCISM!

We live in a time when elected officials have become less willing to seek common ground. Some resist the very idea of government and scoff at the principle of compromise. But government is necessary because people need it to resolve their conflicts, and compromise is the tool by which governing officials hammer out such conflict resolution. If we all agreed with each other, we would not need government.
Compromise has been and will remain vital to sustaining our 240-year-long experiment with self-government. It is a process of give and take, of blending and adjusting. It is not consensus, for rarely is consensus possible, and to make consensus the standard makes self-government untenable.
Known as a “point-in-time” estimate, the annual snapshot looks at the number of individuals nationwide who are living in shelters, temporary housing and unsheltered settings on one night last January. The report found that more than 650,000 people were experiencing homelessness that night, the most since reporting began in 2007.
