We now have a bill number.
S.5384 - "A bill to abolish the Department of Education"
It's in the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
English
BREAKING: Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) introduced a bill to ABOLISH the Department of Education 🚨
It is called the "Returning Education to Our States Act"
Here's the plan 👇🧵

@DustinCzarny @OnondagaCounty @chrisryanSD50 @OnonLegDems So we're opposing gerrymandering today? Got it.
English
This has been a very long process. Now we can start the process of getting fair maps in @OnondagaCounty. Bravo to @chrisryanSD50
and the @OnonLegDems for putting up the good fight.

@DustinCzarny ugh. That argument is exactly backwards. Large slave owning states could have overwhelmed smaller free states without the EC. Knock it off.
English
@CarlMasterpole They created this method to enshrine slavery. We got rid of slavery for a good reason. The founding fathers were not perfect. They wanted us to evolve as our democracy evolved. The time for the electoral college has come and gone.
English
I still believe if Kerry had won Ohio in 2004 and the presidency there would have been agreement to alter reform or abolish the ec as it allows now only a handful of states to determine our presidency.
But since the GOP believes it helps them, they will never reform it.
Political Polls@PpollingNumbers
Should America keep it's current electoral college system for electing a president No - 57% Yes - 30% YouGov
English
@DustinCzarny I get it. But the Founding Fathers created this method of electing President's to that all of the states could have their voice's heard. I remember a time when Democrats valued things like that.
English
@CarlMasterpole God forbid the leader of our nation be led by the person most people voted for.
English
@DustinCzarny If we use 2016 as an example, the combined popular vote in 49 states said that Donald Trump should be President by over 1M votes. So did the EC. But CA said it should be Hillary. The EC is the only way for all of the states to have a voice in the process.
English
@CarlMasterpole That margin could also come from a variety of other states. Until recently the ec actually aligned with the popular vote because there were more swing states and the winner take all method aligned. It doesn't anymore and it is poisoning our politics
English
@DustinCzarny Clinton won the nat popular vote by about 3 million votes. She won CA by over 4 million. Trump won FL by 100,000. It is 100% objectively true that 1 or 2 blue states will decide all nat elections without the EC. It literally exists to prevent that from happening.
English
@CarlMasterpole That is objectively not true. Elections would be decided by the population in all states. Red states like TX and FL have equal size to ca and ny. The country is basically evenly split. Populations in urban and rural parts will cancel each other out.
Majority rules.

@DustinCzarny I don't know about the entire family. But I do know what JFK believed.
English
@CarlMasterpole Yes that is why the entire family except for this nutball is a Democrat
English
@DustinCzarny JFK's position on abortion, taxes, the economy, communism and the 2nd amendment would send todays democrats into the streets. "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" would be a 'dog whistle to bigots' on MSNBC today.
English
@CarlMasterpole Yes the people who touted civil rights expanding the vote and the social safety net would be maga...yeah sure
English
@DustinCzarny Maybe democrats in NY shouldn't have sued to force them off the ballot here and likely in other states?
English
Bunch of frauds all the way. If your only. Motivation is to be a spoiler you aren't a true candidate
Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump
BREAKING RFK Jr’s VP pick Nicole Shanahan says they’re considering dropping out of the race and endorsing Donald Trump “We run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Waltz presidency because we draw more votes from Trump.”
English
"I think, telling people where you live is actually kind of a low threshold where to cross. It's an easy question to answer for most people and I think that's something that Mr. Kennedy should have taken into account before he filed his paperwork,"

The only way to do this would be a National primary, preferably late June.
The reason our season is so long is the primaries last from Jan to June
Ben Smith@semaforben
Did Kamala accidentally stumble into a new model for a very short campaign? What if the a party pushed all the primaries into the weeks before the convention? The long American campaigns have a real downside.
English
@CarlMasterpole One is physical damage one is actual violence to the person which is a extremely more deliberate Act also the the January 6th person was trying to disrupt our democracy which affects hundreds of millions of people so you're right things are a little off you should have got more
English
@DustinCzarny 15 months vs 12 years. Seems a little off for some reason.
English
@DustinCzarny Harris can't win if she loses PA. The fact that she didn't pick a Gov with a 60%+ approval rating there is unbelievable. The memes of Minn burning will write themselves
English
@CarlMasterpole If Trump world thinks this is good for them...then it was the right pick for Harris
English
Instant reaction. Harris choosing Walz is a unity pick that will look to boost base voters & go for a knockout win rather than a surgical electoral college victory.
Walz can be a great attack dog while doing it w/ charm & Midwestern roots. It plays well in all 7 swing states.
