Suspending the filibuster would require only a simple majority vote, and the government could then be reopened with a simple majority.

Should the U.S. search the suspected vessels instead and arrest the crew if contraband is found? Are the U.S. Navy's actions making the high seas less safe for U.S. vessels? Should justifying evidence be provided? What do you think? 🤔

H-1B Visas allow U.S. companies to temp hire skilled workers from other countries when they can’t find enough qualified talent within the U.S. None of the Trump administration's new $100,000 fee goes toward training American workers. Should it? 🤔

Whether copying or retaliating, no state should follow Texas and redraw its voting maps to misrepresent its people. What’s wrong in Texas is wrong everywhere. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

This summer, Texas Republicans—controlling the state's House, Senate, and governorship—are redrawing voting districts to gain 5 more congressional seats. Do you think this is fair, or should maps be drawn by an independent commission, math, or some other method?

Does DNI Gabbard's recasting of known facts deserve investigation? Or is it, as some say, a distraction designed to draw attention away from the Epstein files controversy? Can AG Bondi's DOJ "Strike Force" investigation be trusted? What do you think?

The Epstein files remain a mystery. DOJ says no client list. Others suspect a cover-up.
Should a special counsel investigate?

Due to Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," Elon Musk has announced he's forming a centrist U.S. political party, the #AmericaParty. He promises more DOGE, free speech, tech-friendly policies, and birth incentives. Do you think he should do it or fund change through existing parties? 🤔

Per Sen Cassidy, to win Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary confirmation, RFK Jr "committed that he will work within current vaccine approval ... systems." If true, RFK Jr. broke that promise in May. Sen Cassidy chairs the committee overseeing HHS. Time to #RestoreOrder.

Given its questionable history in the United States, should there be a Constitutional amendment to revoke or limit the President's clemency powers? What do you think? 🤔
