The Supreme Court must be reformed or dismantled at this point. It's a rogue body filled with 6 right wing extremists who want to replace democracy with a white Christian King. If a politician doesn't support Court reform then they arent the leaders for this moment. Step aside.

He bombed Iran for no reason, spent billions in taxpayer money, killed our troops’, shut down the Strait of Hormuz, and now wants credit for reopening what he broke. Now the bill comes due: military costs, shipping and fuel, reconstruction money, and whatever else. All for an Epstein distraction.

I think Virginia should just use the proposed map and ignore the court’s decision. The Trump administration has now provided numerous precedents that court orders may be ignored.

After Trump wrote, in reference to Iran, “A whole civilization will die tonight,” the entirety of the House Democratic leadership issued this joint statement:
Donald Trump is completely unhinged. His statement threatening to eradicate an entire civilization shocks the conscience and requires a decisive congressional response. The House must come back into session immediately and vote to end this reckless war of choice in the Middle East before Donald Trump plunges our country into World War III.

For years, Republicans have enabled and excused Donald Trump’s deeply dangerous and extreme behavior. Enough is enough. Our brave men and women in uniform have been put into harm’s way in the Middle East. Over a dozen have already been killed and hundreds injured. Gas prices are skyrocketing, the cost of living in America is out of control and billions of taxpayer dollars are being wasted on a reckless war of choice.

It’s time for House Republicans to put patriotic duty over party loyalty and join Democrats in stopping this madness.

When the Democrats take
Congress, they should introduce an omnibus bill to repeal
everything this administration has done. They should call it the Total Reversal of Unnecessary
Measures and Policies Act, a.k.a., the TRUMP Act, and watch to see whether the president can veto something with his name on it.
