Part of that was the Supreme Court interfering with any significant administrative swings (including the student loan program).

The policy achievements of the Biden Administration were significant and substantive, but boy, were they not well-explained. Again, I figured out how to get my student loans forgiven by reading a comment on an Internet entertainment website.

You have to put the Unitary Executive Theory in the trash bin, and the only way to do that: ambition must meet ambition.

So, everybody, the reason is that I am like we are in the middle of a constitutional crisis, is the moment that Congress tries to do this the Trump Administration will collapse into an existential crisis. Passing the Appropriations Bills alone are going to be a nightmare.

The time on CRA proves to be a constraint on how the agency drafts a rule.

It does! Message sent to the agency, though. That clock is ticking on CRA.

And when people are like, wow, if Congress can do all of that, why are they not doing it? My response is: Ambition must meet Ambition. It is time for an inspirational Rocky montage but for Congress.

4. Congress can seek inspection. 5. Congress can impeach. 6. Congress can conduct criminal investigations. 7. Congress can adjust its calendar to be in session. 8. Congress can slow walk nominations. 9. Congress can appropriate; ya have to pay the toll eventually. 10. Etc.

1. The Congressional Review Act which rescinds agencies can pass on a simple majority. 2. Congress can sue as a representative body. 3. Congress can change its own internal rules to allow citizen petions to the floor.

They moved into the military base because a neighbor chalked in front of their house that Stephen Miller is a racist and then put up flyers in the neighborhood. Stephen Miller then had the neighbor criminally investigated for threats, an investigation that did not end until May 2026.

And when people are like, why would you rescind the offer to the President to give the State of the Union, my response: decorum is a concession I am no longer willing to make while people are dying in the streets. My job is not to appease David Brooks, ok?

According to the news the rent being charged to Stephen and Katie Miller is between 4500-5000, but the average rental price of a home in DC is • Properties closer to the Potomac River (such as near Chain Bridge Rd NW or MacArthur Blvd/Georgetown) is $6,700 to $12,500+ per month.

I would just start with kicking him off the military base where he lives right now, but we can work up to all his other fears.

I got that somewhat from Mike Collins very confused explanation, but then Jon Ossoff just pointed out that Donald Trump was in the Epstein Files and then Mike Collins cried.

At risk of BlueSky reigning fire down on me: I respect Susan Collins as an appropriator. It is hard to get 12 budget bills through Congress and very often I weigh what it means to lose her experience. But she is no longer a tenable figure b/c the Republican Party is not a serious party anymore.

As @voland66.bsky.social pointed out, his full name was Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero. I noted I was not going to be fair because in terms of the political dynamics of the moment; that was not good for her.

It is why the Constitution gives all three things to Congress to figure out.

Capitalism works because of boring detail-driven policy wonks; a great innovation of the Progressive and New Deal Era was to bring those wonks into government. All the things that President Trump likes about being President: tariffs, wars, and buildings—not so great for the economy.

Professa Murray @kalimurray.bsky.social · 14/10/2026
Democratic decision-making is an economic issue: President Trump has hired sycophantic dodo-birds who rather kiss the ring than give him technocratic expertise about how to manage the economy. You know why Parliament wrested control from the King: Kings suck at managing complex economies.

I definitely get the sense that you are not debating; I have debated this position in my political journey; and I have landed where I landed. Other people have other views on this that I respect.
