Jane @poeia.bsky.social · 07/09/2026If Trump thinks FDR is 1 of the 5 great presidents in American history (just behind the greatest one, himself) why is he trying to demolish almost every New Deal program? 110
Jane @poeia.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Executive Orders are not laws; they are instructions for the admin. No reason not to cancel them.

Jane @poeia.bsky.social · 30/08/2026The House was capped at 435 members in 1929 when the population was 120 million. They now represent 3+ as many constituents, esp in highly populous states.

Jane @poeia.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Could Congress pass a law requiring Presidential pardons to be individually signed, by hand (no autopen)?

Jane @poeia.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I think it might help to show exactly what we have to give up to pay for the corruption.
