It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

It's not an ideology, first of all. Why can't they just let people live their own lives and butt the fuck OUT of everyone else's business?

I agree, but there are surgeries that are fully elective and there are some that are necessary for reconstruction and quality of life. Plastic surgeons need their own practices and malpractice insurance. We need to fund NECESSARY surgeries and medications...transplants...all of it.

Who said poverty? I said Government housing just like military families. Pay them a median GS salary scale, then. Like... a GS-9. Should they make more than a Lt. in the Navy? They don't have to pay for housing if we provide it. How many closed bases are there?

Healthcare and medicine should NEVER be for profit. It's unethical. If you're a specialty plastic surgeon, or something? Fine. Charge what you charge. But I'm talking about life-saving and wellness promoting healthcare. MANY Doctors would work on salary in exchange for college loans payoff.

I am a firm believer in the redistribution of wealth after they hit $999,999,999.99. Billionaires should not exist. Don't like it? Move your greedy ass back to South Africa. We obviously can't enforce making them pay their fair share.

Not if we publicly funded campaigns, and reversed Citizens United. Even playing field.

We clean it up of "bad players" (Cough cough Kirsten Sinema cough!) when we take the self-enrichment incentives out of Congress. There's MUCH to do, but allowing Congressself-police, allowing lobbying, & doing nothing to hold a lunatic POTUS accountable is something we need to fix Constitutionally.

We'd get a lot more young Representatives taking those jobs as single people, fresh out of college. Take the money out of campaigns, fund every candidate the same, and let democracy rule.

We treat them just like the active duty military. They are STATIONED in DC. There should be a rule that they had to come from and live in their districts, anyway, before running. How badly do you want to "serve", Representative?

We can do Congressional Housing. In order to rate an individual HOUSE, the family has to move too. Excuse me - the "dependents." That's what I was called as a Navy wife. Same as we do for the military. Bachelor quarters when in DC, eating from the cafeteria.

But I could use a bit more socialism, frankly. I know most Americans can. Imagine them caring about OUR quality of life.

And no pension for life bullshit, unless they serve as longer as a military member has to serve in order to draw a pension. SO many places we can CUT, huh?

Or be paid what the daily pay is for jurors. That should do it. They don't need $20 (CA fastfood worker min wage) an hour for a CONGRESSIONAL job! It's not rocket science. That's how they see we working Americans. The problem is that they govern themselves. THAT needs to be fixed.
