James Madison, the principal architect of the Constitution, wrote in Federalist No. 51 that “the legislative authority necessarily predominates” in a republican government. If we want to be originalists, how about we get back to this. #VotingRights #Democracy

Where are the Republicans who spent years warning us about “activist judges legislating from the bench”? Today, the Supreme Court rewrote Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, essentially gutting it, substituting their own standard for the one Congress passed. #VotingRights

You don’t have to be a believer to recognize what Pope Leo XIV is offering the world right now. Humility. Service. The dignity of every person. Power that builds rather than devours. That is not just a religious message. That is a human one. #Peace #Leadership

Hungary just voted out Viktor Orbán after 16 years. JD Vance flew to Budapest to rally for him. Trump promised Hungary economic support if Orbán won. The Hungarian people said no anyway. Take notes, America. Democracy is stubborn like that.

RIP to the penny. 1909–2025. You were shiny, annoying, and somehow always in my car cupholder. The last coin we retired, the half-cent in 1857, was worth about 15¢ in today’s money. Maybe it’s time to rethink the whole small-change system.

The Fed was designed to be insulated from politics to maintain the stability and credibility of our financial system. The President is breaking the law, abusing his power, setting a dangerous precedent, and undermining our economy.

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause. The removal was blamed on a "coding error." Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

Texas Republicans are trying to gerrymander their maps to rig 2026 and now we are facing a possible mid-decade census. The cheat is happening before our eyes and as Americans are we really just going to allow it? Are there really no principled Republicans willing to stand up to this?
