Concerned about our national debt? WarrenBuffett’s 5-minute solution: “I could end the deficit in 5minutes. You just pass a law that says that anytime there’s a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for reelection.” Demand your rep pass it as law

Congress must decide on Trump’s gigantic arch

Just want the old passport? Simply renew online (no Trump passport) or renew at a passport office outside D.C. (also no Trump passport.) The odds of getting one are low unless you’re in D.C. - even then it’s only issued “when available.” It won’t even be offered outside of DC

Congress must decide on Trump’s gigantic arch so please let your representatives know this is a really bad idea for DC, the US and them if they want your vote

Trump said no taxpayer money would be spent on the ballroom. A contractor’s invoices show otherwise. BTW - Any federal employee who approves an expenditure for a project where funds have not been approved is subject to prosecution. What was Clark Construction thinking!?!? They should know better.

The Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center has the Atrium Ballroom which holds nearly 1,000 seated guests. Use that.

Hey Congress – how about dividing into teams? An Epstein File team, a ballroom/arch/Kennedy Center/DC Team, a conflict of interest team, an off shore accounts/flow the donation money team, an Iran team, a Ukraine team, a DEI lawsuit team, an enemies team - there is a team for everyone.

It's time to call as often as possible. Today. Now. Please call and keep calling. It's past time this ended.

Hey Government! Please stop focusing on social issues and focus on the basics of local government: budgets, bridges and building essential services that undergird a resilient local economy. Your constituents will thank you and vote for you.

Why does scouting care what Hegseth thinks? The mission of the military: provide combat ready protect national security, defend America. The mission of scouts: prepare kids to make moral & ethical choices, instill values of the scouting oath & build character through camping & community service.

The New Yorker sums it up well: Trump’s playbook for any potential and real disaster is distraction, disinformation, denial, delay. We would all do well to remember that.

The best candidate will be the one who can repair all the damage that has been done

Clarity Re Max Boot: “Trump wants to do whatever he wants, wherever he wants, unconstrained by any checks or balances, and he would like to make a lot of money doing it.”
