This is do-able and would fix a LOT of problems. Far more realistic than trying to cover the Constitution in wite-out
Easiest fix: expand the House. Then the # of electoral votes for each state would be more in proportion with their population.

On the one hand, I admire what MTG is doing.
On the other hand, only monsters put up a Christmas tree before Thanksgiving.

Marge Greene announces she is resigning from Congress, that she doesn’t want to go through a brutal primary against a Trump backed opponent, and says Trump has treated her like a battered wife and has been hateful to her and is trying to destroy her.

The Senate is as much a symbol of federalism as the presidency. Why protect one but change the other? (Spoiler: because liberals at this point in history know that it would work in their favor, but don't think about how any of that could backfire)
There might be some daylight between “one person, one vote” and “OMFG ABOLISH THE SENATE” but what do I know

Imagine if someone a few weeks ago told you that Trump would call Marjorie Taylor Greene a “traitor” and drive her out of the House AND praise Mamdani as a guy who will do a good job as mayor. What would you have said to that?

Dear GOP,
If you’re gonna do anything with the tariff money, stop bailing out Argentina and passing out checks so Trump can pretend he’s personally writing these checks.
Pay down the debt. For once

A recently uncovered memo promises U.S. soldiers immunity for the killing of more than 80 people in boat strikes throughout the Caribbean, effectively conceding it crossed a line.

Eagles are 8-2, have basically wrapped up the NFC East, will have the H2H tiebreaker over the Lions, Rams, Bucs and Packers, and have driven their fans nuts the whole year. Special team. These are the franchise’s glory days.

If my 7-year-old engaged in this sort of bigotry and name calling I would expect to find myself in a parent-teacher conference by tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile, the White House Press Secretary is out here on national television, living her best life
After calling Schumer a "Palestinian," Leavitt refers to "Gavin Newscum." So she's just ripping off her boss's smears now.

Against my own instincts I am turning into a pretty unashamed credentialist. We've become so enamored of the Hollywood narrative where the scrappy outsider proves all the established experts wrong that we lose sight of how rare it is in reality, and how HUGELY damaging it is to treat as probable.
I'm kinda not a fan of credentialism
"Non-scientists" can have insight
And actual scientists can be grifters
So the substance is what matters
But how can you judge substance unless you're an expert lol
But also people just cherry pick their fave experts all the time too
No good solution really

If you are also a scientist, sure. If you aren't, like these guys, you should probably shut the fuck up and let the people whose opinions matter talk.

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

My question is, when Trump does stuff like this, which he does constantly, why are his advisors always to blame - going all the way back to 2017. There has been a revolving door of advisors, but the common denominator is Trump. When is he held accountable by his own supporters?
