Terrifying political reality for Democrats is that they actually have been overachieving all this time, a combination of luck and timing and, of course, Republicans making mistakes. For example, they now control 10 Senate seats in Trump 2024 states. Split those and you'd have a 58-42 Senate. They've managed to keep VRA districts into the 21st century. That's up to a dozen "unearned" House seats. We count foreign residents for state apportionment. That plus the Census is not only a dozen House seats on net but also a dozen Electoral Votes on net. All this changes after the Census, after VRA, and after old incumbents move on.

Imagine watching the Deep State torpedo Eric Swalwell in less than 7 days, and still thinking there's a magical career-ending bombshell they've had on Trump but not released over the past 11 years.

.@POTUS: "Do not listen to the craven and cowardly voices who tell you America needs to think small, or to shrink from our duties or potential... We are the inheritors of the most incredible civilization that has ever existed, and our task is to defend it." 🇺🇸

“was arguably necessary to ensure ratification of the Constitution” — my dude, we are still a Union of States. Why would Wyoming or Vermont want to subject itself to whatever California or New York’s population dictates? It was designed this way to balance polities.
James Surowiecki@JamesSurowiecki

There's no good civic argument for the electoral college. It was arguably necessary to ensure the ratification of the Constitution, but it's an anti-democratic device that gives some American citizens far more voting power than others, based purely on where they live.

@SecretaryBurgum @POTUS @Freedom250 One more thing to add to the list: get rid of the third world style food and souvenir trucks that come into DC like locusts and carpet every inch of our streets!

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Wednesday delivered a televised broadside against progressivism, a political philosophy he described as an existential threat to America and the principles that founded it 250 years ago. abcnews.link/vKHBiTS

@mcuban Letting people transact with their own money instead of “what will the insurance company cover” seems to be a better approach than the current one. It would certainly drive costs down, since conscientious consumers would seek the best deal with their own $$

What if there was a bank account available, that required you to deposit monthly, what you would have paid an insurance company in premiums, for an ACA silver plan. So for a family of 5 about $2100. The amount would then be used for Stop Loss Insurance set at $30k dollars. About $300. Another $200 would be used for local Direct Primary Care for your family The balance would be in YOUR bank account. Like an HSA, It could only be used for approved medical expenses. If you never have any medical expenses, you will get to keep the money plus checking act level interest, when you turn 65 If you have a medical event that is more than what you have saved, your bank will loan you the money you need to pay for it, up to the $30k stop loss trigger You would repay that amount using the monthly $1600 net deposit. Once the loan is paid off, the deposits start to accrue to you again. This is not insurance. It’s a specially designed bank account that gives you control, support, a doctor to work with and catastrophic financial protection. Lots of work and issues to be addressed. But I was curious what people think Let me know !

The one debt you can’t ever pay off ? Your insurance premiums. You literally will pay an insurance premium monthly, till you die. But we don’t look at it like it’s a debt paid to an insurance company that will do all it possibly can never spend it on your care. We are working on a non -insurance solution. The day HSAs no longer require an insurance policy, it all will change. finance.yahoo.com/sectors/health…

Our Electoral College is laid out in the Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clauses 2 and 3 (modified by the Twelfth and Twenty-Third Amendments). If you don't like it, change the Constitution. The process is detailed in Article V. Good luck, otherwise piss off.

🚨 Virginia has joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. This brings America one step closer to a national popular vote for President.

If you think VA's recent move to give their electoral votes to whoever wins the popular vote isn't a big deal, you might want to check what other states are already doing it. There's 18 others. The electoral college is about to become irrelevant, and that's a very bad thing. Because the whole point of the electoral college is to prevent states with large populations from dictating who becomes president.

The National Popular Vote Compact is wildly unconstitutional. First, it lets a handful of states rig the Electoral College by awarding their votes based on out-of-state popular totals, which goes directly against the Framers' rejection of pure national popular election, and the originalist interpretation of article II. Second, this '”compact” among states violates the article I’s Compact Clause which requires Congress's consent. And third, it guts federalism without a proper Article V amendment. End-run around the Constitution.
