I hope that supporters of political parties most disenfranchised by gerrymandering (either party) come out in droves, turning the tables on the attempt to take away their RIGHT to choose their representatives by allowing candidates to instead choose their voters.

Speaker Johnson's, 'I know nothing about that' is getting VERY tiresome.
The only reason I can think of for Johnson's utter ignorance to events is he is planning to audition for the role of Sgt. Shultz in a remake of Hogan's Heroes.

Sad that this is happening, as those 'independent' agencies seem to run better, do more for the people, than those under strong control by the executive branch.

Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch are very likely looking for a way to 'reinterpret' the 14th Amendment. I was stunned that they would take up the birthright case as it is well defined...we'll see.
Tho' those that wrote and debated it in the Senate in 1866 were clear in defining its meaning.

Could poor informed voters be why both chambers of Congress always poll extremely low in favorability (10%-20%)? I think there is a definite connection.
If we want a functional govt., we need to elect qualified, 'functioning' representation.

People need to STOP the hate, ELEVATE Civil Debate.
On social media, on the floors of Congress, from the Oval Office, from any elected official, from any of us.
We can be critics without inciting hate.
That is my Thanksgiving message.

Millions of people trying to put on food on their tables, afford toys for their kids at Christmas! Instead, let's build a big ballroom, upgrade military base golf courses, erect an Arc de Trump, redo the reflecting pool, sell trump crypto meme coins.

When trump admin bullies Ukraine into giving up a large part of it's country, will he insist murderous dictator, Putin, pay to relocate Ukrainians who wish to leave and move to other parts of Ukraine? Costs to find and buy homes, wages until they find jobs, pay transportation, etc.?

To tell a reporter they are 'insubordinate' disgusting.
Reporters, citizens for that matter, are NOT subordinates of a POTUS, any cabinet member, or a Senator or Representative.
We are THEIR employer, and we choose whether they remain employed.

83 people murdered, 20 boats blown up. The Justice Department told Congress trump admin. DOES NOT need their approval. The UK has stopped sharing intelligence with US about suspected drug-trafficking vessels to avoid being complicit in the strikes.

It's sad when one asks who, in the public eye, is most crude, unethical, narcissistic, bully-ish, rude, snobbish, self-serving, shady, and corrupt and we ALL immediately think...Trump!!
What were his voters thinking? Why don't they see beyond the hype and BS?

The statesman-like public comments of a POTUS, of an international public figure. Perhaps a warning to any Republican that dare disagree with the king;
'Off with their heads!'
