$16 billion was spent in the last election.
Enough to eradicate world hunger. Twice over.
Our elections now feel like auctions. A contest to corral the most billionaires.
Citizens United put us on the fast track to an oligarchy.
For us to find our way back, it has to be undone.

As a member along with Judge Gertner of the President’s Commission on the U.S. Supreme Court, I strongly endorse this term limits plan. Nancy Gertner explains and defends the plan better than anyone else who has written on this subject:

The Constitution Allows for Term-Limited Supreme Court Justices
A former federal judge discusses how term limits for Supreme Court justices would afford them the same status and opportunities that retired justices and federal judges currently enjoy.

I’m no fan of guilt by association, but it does seem worth noting that on the night of the 2024 presidential election, a notorious German neo-Nazi group, AfD, met with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago and has since been warmly embraced by virtual co-president Elon Musk.

Remember the FBI informant who claimed President Biden took millions in bribes from Burisma?
He admitted today in federal court that he made the whole thing up.
And that he started spinning new lies after meeting with Russian intelligence.

Everyone knew about Sean “Diddy” Combs. Everyone knew about R. Kelly, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.

FBI at the Capitol riot? Nope. Joe Biden taking a bribe? Even more nope. New evidence that emerged Thursday via an inspector general report and guilty plea further debunk the claims.
