Dems spent years avoiding having any kind of convo about adding seats to the Supreme Court because 'what kind of precedent would that set for Republicans?'
Meanwhile, the GOP take office & within weeks are openly talking about ignoring court verdicts and impeaching judges. Sigh.

Musk isn’t a fourth branch of government, just another Silicon Valley who wants to be dictator of the world.

FYI This is the maga script. With the senate and House CONTROLLED by the R’s, they will now use legislation to eliminate agencies. Democrats can’t do a gd thing about it but delay passage, use every rule & face a call for the vote. With no backbone in the R ranks, they can destroy everything. Agree?
