@StephenFleming @FSlazer No it wasn’t, The Senate was the deal that got small states to join. Remember, the founders believed in a weak president, strong legislature system, The Electoral College was part of the package to get slave states to join. It’s the last vestige of slavery still left in our laws.

@FSlazer Yes. That was the deal needed to get small states to join. Changing the deal means they should be allowed to leave.

🚨Trump dropped this post! Media worshipping Obama like he was the second coming of Christ… halos, messiah posters, ‘The First Gay President’ headlines. Zero outrage. Zero fact-checks. Zero meltdowns.

@ericmmatheny Both are bad. The lower income folks will pay a significantly greater portion of their overall income than the wealthy, The better idea is to abolish capital gains and tax investments as income. Get rid of tax shelters, too.

What would work better? A flat tax rate where everybody - regardless of income level - pays a fixed percentage; Or A consumption-based national sales tax system where you are only taxed on goods you purchase?

@ScottPresler Awesome! More chances for the Democrats to win the Senate. Senator James Talarico (D-TX) has a nice ring to it.

If Senate Majority Leader Thune does NOT pass the SAVE America Act by the end of April, I’m asking you to vote AGAINST Senator Cassidy in the Louisiana Republican primary on Saturday, May 16th. I’m asking you to vote AGAINST Senator Cornyn in the Texas Senate runoff on Tuesday, May 26th. Give us what we want or we will take away what you have — peacefully.

@TRHLofficial Something like this has never been legally tested. There is nothing in the Constitution that says a state must pick its electors for the Electoral College based on the vote of that state. This also falls outside of the Compact Clause because it’s not a real interstate agreement.

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.

Climate zealots say cows cause global warming. Really. Cow flatulence "is a serious issue" says AOC. But warming from cows is “an extremely small number, that you can’t even measure,” says scientist @GWrightstone. StosselTV Fellow @LinneaLueken looks for the truth:

I’m a simple man... All I wanted from the GOP was to cut waste, fraud, and abuse from government spending + make sure that only Americans were voting. That’s ALL I wanted, the bar was sooooo low… …and they couldn’t even do that, WHAT ON EARTH are the GOP actually doing??!!!!

To our friends in Hungary, we hope you will vote for independent thinking and for someone who stands for Hungary First. We hope you will vote for my father’s friend and ally. One leader in Europe has a direct line to the White House, I hope you will support Viktor Orban! #Hungary

@stub077 @RonPaul_Enjoyer @RepTiffany It makes them qualified for whatever is allowed by law. In the past, they were eligible for SNAP, which they pay for like everyone else, & now they’re not. They’re still paying for it, though.

I have just heard from @AAGDhillon that the DOJ is looking into these donations made to Act Blue for candidates in Kansas in my name. I have NEVER donated to any political candidates in my life and have NEVER been to Kansas. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

@EricLDaugh These Blue to Red flips are nothing compared to how many flips have been Red to Blue. Dems are over performing nationwide, even in Red states. If we want a shot at keeping the house and senate, Republicans need to get off their lazy ass and vote!!🤯

Just called the Erie County, PA, elections office to inform them to preserve the records because we are finding illegal aliens on their voter rolls. They keep putting me on hold & passing me to other people. Panic!
