We need a campaign by the American people to start pushing JD Vance and cabinet members, online and whenever they are out in public, and demand they invoke the 25th Amendment to protect the country. It is not enough to just have individual members of Congress talking about it.

Most Americans don't realize Congress cannot invoke the 25th Amendment. It can only be invoked by the Vice President and a majority of the cabinet. Then Congress has to approve it with a 2/3 majority of both houses. Republicans should be pushing Vance every day to invoke it.

The president did not call on Kristi Noem during the cabinet meeting or even acknowledge her presence in the televised 80-minute portion. He deliberately skipped over her when talking with each cabinet member.

The "Melania" documentary was directed by Brett Ratner, his first movie since being accused of sexual assault and harassment in 2017. What is this administration's fixation with cozying up to sexual predators? Trump hangs out with them, hires them, defends them, and pardons them.

The NFL promotes players & coaches as role models for kids & stalwart community members, and many are. But when someone like Belichick has committed MAJOR ethics violations, people are SHOCKED it's even a consideration when evaluating him for first year entry to the Hall of Fame. Total hypocrisy.

"Only a small, elite percentage of nominees are elected in their first year of eligibility. It requires 80% approval from the Selection Committee."
Of course he'll get in. But given his MAJOR ethics violations, I'm glad he didn't make it the first year.

Elon Musk says Tesla will begin phasing out its Model S and Model X electric vehicles this year and retool a California factory to produce humanoid robots instead. He left out the part about people no longer wanting to buy Tesla automobiles because they hate him (and don't want to die).

The SAVE Act would no longer allow citizens to register to vote with a driver's license or state ID. It's unconstitutional and Thune knows it.
