Overall Congressional approval 30%+/-

Congressperson from “your” district approval 50%+

We need term limits. We also need open primaries where ALL candidates are included and only the top 2 go on to the final election.

Best simple summary yet!
Trumpism is like climate change: it's already here, it has done irreparable damage, and even if we take action now we'll be dealing with it's impact for the rest of our lives.

“I present to you Donald Trump’s tariff policy…I have never seen a policy as stupid as this one. It is based on false assumptions. It rests on no coherent argument in its favor. It relies on no empirical evidence…It is jumble-headedness exemplified.”

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right.

Glad I sold all my Apple stock yesterday and moved the money into T-bills. My retirement is too close to fully recover from this Trumpian induced disaster. Now, I hope Social Security will still be around as a supplemental income since I've put 12%+ of my earnings into it for over 40 years!

Sage advice
It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
