A proposed constitutional amendment would permanently establish nine Supreme Court seats—taking future expansion of the Court out of Congress’s ordinary legislative reach. #TheCityBrief

If there’s even a small issue with a single ballot-like a woman changed her name upon getting married-the USPS system could disenfranchise 10,000 voters Allegedly, the point of this is to stop cheats. But there haven’t been anywhere near 10,000 cases of fraud in the entire history of mail in voting

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Because hospital closures and insurance rate adjustments take time to process, the fallout is now becoming impossible to ignore. A Senate Finance Committee report released today (August 3, 2026) highlights that these cuts have recently resulted in 44 hospital and clinic closures across 13 states.

Warning: the President of the United States is kidnapping American citizens off the streets of blue states. Some of them return —most do not. Some are murdered in concentration camps owned by the President’s cronies. All of it is one big fat crime. None of our electeds will stop him. Will you?

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.

Over 24 states sued the Trump administration for requiring them to comply with election & immigration conditions to receive billions in federal disaster aid. This is bribery & is un-Constitutional but typical for Trump. Whether it be money or conditions, every "deal" is a bribe.

Trump needs a lot of money to support his wars, at home and in the middle east. How is he going to get it? Taxes, of course, but he calls them tariffs. MAGA would never tolerate a tax increase, but they are too stupid to understand that tariffs are exactly that - tax increases. Trump knows that.
