Kind of a buried lede in the results of this Supreme Court approval rating poll from Marquette: Overall support for Supreme Court expansion, which even Democratic politicians were dismissing as "radical" just a few years ago, is now at 53 percent today.marquette.edu/2026/09/marq...
Proposal	Favor or oppose
Favor	Oppose
Enforce strict ethics code for justices	89	10

Most Germans weren't Nazis They stayed quiet to keep their jobs, their safety, and their comfortable lives. That silence was the oxygen fascism needed to take root. By the time the horrors were undeniable, the trap had already snapped shut, and resistance meant certain death.

It’s insane that people in Congress are paid over $174K a year in taxpayer dollars whilst making millions of dollars from insider trading whilst getting 18 vacations a year as Americans all over the country struggle to pay for rent, gas and groceries.

On the Trump storm-out: Push him harder. When he gets mad, ask him why he’s so angry when you’re just asking questions. When he tries to leave call him a coward. Provoke him. Make him show his ugliness.

100%. Until the Supreme Court is reformed and the corrupt members removed, nothing else matters because the Supreme Court and its corrupt members will just stand in the way of everything else. Any Democrat who can't get behind that simple fact should leave politics now.
