Congress has happily ceded numerous of its powers to the executive, so why are we paying it like it has the same job description it used to? We pay so much for less & less from it - just like healthcare.

Hilariously, when I asked my Google home device if there was any email provider that made it easy to manage your subscriptions, it answered, Outlook.
So why isn't #microsoft's ad team touring, "Hey Google recommends Outlook, not Gmail, for convenience of email subscription management"?

Per #CitizensUnited, Corporations, even foreign corporations, can spend unlimited dollars on advertisements that shape the political landscape of the U.S. B/c $ = political speech.
Actual human Visa holders on US campuses can't attend protests now. B/c political speech can get fucked.

I went to a graduation this week, and a very talented graduating senior sang the Star Spangled Banner.
It was the 1st time I heard it as asking a direct, non-rhetorical question. And, I really don't know the answer.
Does it yet wave over a free & brave nation? Who are we now?
Are we free? Brave?

Pete Buttigieg suggested he would “assess” a 2028 presidential run.
While visiting Iowa, he said in a live interview that he'd consider “what I bring to the table.”

He vaulted onto the national stage in 2020 out of South Bend, Indiana. This time, his calculus looks different.

I was just remembering a different GOP that had a problem with John Kerry because, they said, he flip-flopped. And that's evidently really bad, unless it's done at such a rapid pace in every conceivable arena that it gives the entire globe US-policy whiplash, in which case it's rah rah rah?
