Fixing America can't happen without undoing Citizens United.
Corporations are not people, money is not speech, Congress can govern money.
Human rights are for humans. If you don't breathe you don't "speak" "believe" or "bear arms".

It's only helpful if we do something to improve the next election.
Here's the plain truth, zero speculation, it is technically impossible to have both secret ballots (which we clearly need) and secure electronic voting.
100% cannot do both. (The logic behind this is the incompleteness theorem.)

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Imagine how insanely competent and professional a woman has to be to lead navy SEALs. And because she’s a woman, Hegseth said “no not her” this is peak incompetence. The opposite of DEI on meth.

If you’re on the ACA, you *must* read this amazing work by @charlesgaba.com. With subsidies under threat, it’s vital that folks find as much value as possible in the available plans. Comparing them all is complex and brutal. Charles points the way to potential savings.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?
