As long as we're requiring Dems to abolish the Senate filibuster, and as long as we're currently in the redistricting wars, I've got one more: Double the House of Representatives. Or triple it.
Sure, let WY have 2 Reps, and let IN have 20. Then watch CA's 125 and IL's 35 go to work.

If you're in the Trump family, or are part of the administration, or are part of his defenders, funders, allies, etc.. all of your financial assets need to be seized, and you need to be jailed. Taking everything you have is just removing ill-gotten gains and preventing unjust enrichment.

The one thing Democrats need to do, in unison, is to promise prosecution of everyone violating the law and the constitution in these cases, from the top to the bottom of the chain.
Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

This was always the goal and don’t forget that this happened because of the Democrats/Joe Biden. TikTok was in zero danger of being banned and the ban was non existent until Biden/Dems worked w Gallagher to revive it because people were using the app to speak out about Israel’s genocide.
The United States will have control over TikTok’s algorithm in the acquisition of the social media platform’s US operations, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

It's standard media-brain mentality: the content of speech is wholly irrelevant, it's all democracy. Accordingly, constant lies and demagoguery can be "politics the right way."
(Also, even this bad standard doesn't work for Kirk, who pushed 2020 election lies and bused insurrectionists to J6.)

This sets up an absurd standard where the only justification for criticizing Kirk is if he personally committed violence.
But the entire reason liberalism is under attack is the constant lies and endorsement of violence by prominent conservatives, not because they're doing it themselves!

Yes. I do not want to ever 'move on' again. Every time we turn the cheek, overlook the criminality, absolve the sins, they come back worse.
I want punishment. Deterrence. Retribution. Err on the side of excess, not lenity.
Anything less is asking them to come back worse yet again.

Absolutely not. You're possibly eligible for a mulligan if a) you were in a coma from 2015 - 2024, or b) you're young enough that 2024 was literally the first time you ever voted.

when you say, e.g., that the 14th amendment does not include birthright citizenship, you are advocating for a constitutional regime without birthright citizenship. you don’t get to somehow free yourself from the moral implications of that.

MAGA is not resegregating the government as a "distraction." They're resegregating the government because that's their agenda. The things they're doing aren't distractions. They're agenda items. Stop communicating as if they don't sincerely believe in what they're doing.

It is time to look to the future.
The challenges that face America are many and great.
The Senate must respond with resolve, bipartisanship, and fidelity to the working and middle class of this country.
