😎😏😷 France, population 68 million: 577 delegates in National Assembly
Germany, population 83 million: 736 seats in Bundestag
United States, population 332 million: 435 representatives in the House
#DefendDemocracy#HouseReform
The 1929 Permanent Apportionment Act capped the size of the House at 435. Till then it grew with each decennial census, as it was designed to do. Its failure to grow is the source of much of the system’s dysfunction and democratic deficit. Congress should at least double in size.
The DeSantis administration is attempting to block Department of Justice election monitors from gaining access to polling places in South Florida, saying that the federal government’s involvement would be “counterproductive” and in violation of state law.

@mfstern 😎😏😷 Maybe they're all masochists longing to be officially insulted as fake news & threatened to be incarcerated for asking naughty questions.
It's a kind of mental corruption.

FOLLOW UP: Here’s Sophia Rosing at the University of Kentucky getting arrested after assaulting a Black student working at the desk and saying the N word for 10 minutes straight — for those who wanted to see her in cuffs. (Like we did)
Herschel said he read that people who received student loan forgiveness took the money and “were out there buying video games, they were going on vacation, they was gambling, they were drinking booze.”
😎💰😷 So for what reason would a billionaire car dealer, who now happens to own a big, formerly social medium, endorse the congressional lobby of America's richest, tax-evading 1%?
