Travels with Darwin @robertmdawley.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I realize that House leadership wants members to focus relentlessly on affordability. And, sure, it is an issue voters care about. But on a day when another citizen was murdered by ICE, isn't that the more important issue to raise? Or is the idea that Americans cannot see beyond their pocketbooks? 010

Travels with Darwin @robertmdawley.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Crucially, our independence began with the assertion that "all men are created equal and are endowed with unalienable Rights." That vision of America is once under assault and must again be defended with the same courage and determination that the founders displayed. We are with you in thus fight. 000
Travels with Darwin @robertmdawley.bsky.social · 30/06/2026So, Rep. Dean, are you committed to a thorough reform of the corrupt and partisan Court? Anything less than this dooms Dems to failure once they return to power. As a life-long Democrat, I have become increasingly frustrated by the timidity of Dem leadership. So, will you pledge to reform the Court? 000
Travels with Darwin @robertmdawley.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Such reform is fully permitted under the Constitution, and does not require amending it, which is near-impossible in the short- and medium-term. I regard a commitment to reforming the Court as the acid test of whether Democrats are serious about saving the nation. (That and ending the filibuster.) 000
Travels with Darwin @robertmdawley.bsky.social · 30/06/2026At a minimum, increase the number of justices. And there are yet more far-reaching (and fully Constitutional) remedies. Do it as soon as you have a trifecta, because until you do, this utterly partisan and corrupt Court will neuter anything legislation passed by a Democratic Congress. 000
Travels with Darwin @robertmdawley.bsky.social · 30/06/2026You are correct. But the Supreme Court is just one vote away from ignoring the language of the Constitution and denying this right. If Democrats hope to protect it (or accomplishing anything else legislatively), they must undertake an immediate a reform of the Court as soon as they return to power. 100
