Before they can vote on a bill they should have to verify under oath that they have read it in its entirety.

Pay for senators/representatives should be a factor of the federal minimum wage full-time equivalent. They only get increases when We the People get increases. Of course, strong financial ethics requirements would also be needed so they don't get corruptly enriched from corporate donors, PACs, etc.

Every senator/representative should be required to have an unrestricted quarterly town hall in their state/district. Failure to do so = automatic expulsion from office. Only extenuating circumstances as determined by randomly selected voters would create a valid excused missed town hall.

I'd like to see independent, randomly selected (from all over the country) citizen-based committees that have the power to discipline and expel members of Congress and SCOTUS for ethics violations, corruption and/or poor performance. They are clearly incapable of managing themselves.

The bottoms of his shoes are only visible during bowel movements. Otherwise they cannot be seen without a colonoscopy.

I think he's so out of touch with reality he doesn't even know truth from a lie.

Technically, if God took Adam's rib to create his partner, the genotype would be 44XY. Ergo, Adam's partner was male—hence, Adam & Steve.
Apparently sex was originally created for gay men. 😜

Minimum wage should reflect the increase in cost of living since it was last updated, then automatically adjust every year based on cost of living.
Also, Congressional salaries should be a factor of the federal minimum wage. They only get increases when the minimum wage increases.

The rich typically set up philanthropic foundations as a tax shelter and to preserve wealth for their heirs. It's generally not really out of a spirit of true generosity.

They need to do more than speak out. They must unite with a strategy to take action and do whatever it takes to destroy the MAGA fascist regime before it can fully take hold. I fear, however, that based on past behavior the Ds collectively lack the spine and cojones.

I also learned this week that a study in Norway of 600,000 children indicated that vaccinations resulted in LOWER likelihood of autism, which flies in the face of what RFK & anti-vaxxers have claimed.

Isn't finding Jesus a Christian's "get out of jail free card" for all past and future crimes?

Or they get so angry they go after them with pitchforks and guillotines.

She doesn't even know the difference between Roger Stone and Oliver Stone (and humiliated herself in a recent committee meeting as a result). Her IQ is lower than a box of hair, so anything she has to say can be immediately disregarded.

Boebert didn't even really get her GED. She failed it 3 times. It was given to her after a review of the materials because she was incapable of passing it.

SCOTUS already threw away the Constitution, so it's a free-for-all.
