The president had a MRI but won't say why.
He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.
He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.
He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.
How is any of this ok?

Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing.

These judges ruled against Trump. Then their families came under attack.
As federal judges rule against the Trump administration in dozens of politically charged cases, the families of at least 11 of the jurists have been targeted with threats and harassment. The intimidation campaign has strained judges and their relatives – and legal scholars fear it could have a chilling effect on the judiciary.

Many politically-aware Americans readily agree that the two-party system reinforced by FPTP, single-member districts is bad without taking the next step to "The Constitution is bad."
Get comfortable with saying "Our Constitution actually sucks and we need a new one," it's an important point!

Every American should be aware that proportional representation and multipartyism is what makes it possible for pro-democracy forces to unite against extremists.
