#DickCheney promoted a unitary executive. He pushed that agenda from his days in the Nixon administration through his ambitious years as vice president when he truly believed he was above the law. We are where we are in part due to Cheney and that is unforgivable.

Consider taking on the loudest voices on the extreme right, rather than the professorial lectures to those who already agree with you. You must see what the Wicked Witch @lauraingram.bsky.social is saying on X...that is where the battle is, providing facts that prove them wrong to their followers
The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

There is MAGA, they hold the keys to the palace and only they can open the doors of government. Everything else is a blame game and beneath the dignity of the American people.
Whom will Americans blame for much of their government shutting down? Interviews with voters suggest that they may hold both parties at least somewhat responsible.
