In my opinion, we need a set of Constitutional Amendments.

One for POTUS.

One for SCOTUS.

One for Congress.

All with nonpartisan reforms and ethics requirements.

And one restoring individual choice and opportunity for Healthcare, from abortion and birth control to cannabis and psilocybin.

Once again, of the laws creating aircraft carrier-sized loopholes for the president to utter the magic words "national emergency" or "national security" & then rule like a King must go. We can have nuanced discussion about re-delegation later but not now.

The logic is simple. Emergencies allow rule by fiat instead of the frustrations of checks and balances

Whitmer compared cannabis to tobacco to justify the 24% tax.
Talk about anti-science.

And that 24% percent just happens to work out to 420 million in revenue?
They determined the tax based on a stupid joke!

Pot doesn't cause potholes!

Cannabis doesn't cause cancer!

“Back pay” will not fix what is about to happen. It cannot restore the lost trust or undo the humiliation of soldiers told to keep showing up while the leadership that insults them relaxes on manicured greens.

To call that respect is a lie; to call it patriotism is but blasphemy.

What began as disrespect is now quickly maturing into disenfranchisement—the stripping away of economic agency from those who have no right to strike or refuse duty. It is conscription by coercion, sanctified only by the courage of the very people being betrayed.

In the days ahead, as the paychecks stop and the speeches continue, remember this: no enemy could do more to weaken the spirit of the American military than its own leaders have already done.

"But the Commander in Chief is on the golf course, and the Speaker of the House has recessed Congress. The government that demands obedience from its soldiers has stopped honoring the most basic obligation: to pay those who serve.

This is not a funding glitch. It is a moral breakdown."

“The owners of industrial factory farms don’t want to alert nearby communities about releases of dangerous gases like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide because they don’t want to be held responsible for the brain and lung damage and deaths their emissions can cause,” according to the Center.

Jennifer Molidor @jennifermolidor.bsky.social · 3d

A rule lets livestock facilities not report ammonia & hydrogen sulfide pollution. Industry groups say the data is "of no particular value."
But advocates say this data could help communities hold CAFOs responsible for brain & lung damage caused by these emissions.

Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.

It raises taxes on seniors who use cannabis. It raises taxes on workers who use cannabis. It unfairly puts the burden of fixing the damn roads on people who use cannabis, rather than people who drive cars and companies who transport products in trucks.

“Our budget fixes the damn roads, cuts taxes for seniors and working families, funds first responders, secures core health care services that millions of Michiganders rely on, protects our air, lakes, and land." -Gov. Whitmer www.clickondetroit.com/news/michiga...

Whitmer signs $81B Michigan budget: Here’s what’s in it

The budget, which began Oct. 1, includes a $14.1 billion general fund. It was approved with bipartisan support in the Legislature.
