This is actually not a terrible idea but not necessarily because of the electoral college thing. House districts were never meant to be this large and we would have more responsive representation if each member represented smaller districts.
We can solve the Electoral College problem by uncapping the House. No Constitutional Amendment needed. Right size the House (should be about 800 members) and we won’t have a popular vote/EC split maybe ever. Oh, and the House will actually be “the people’s House” again.

This new Reuters report is stunning.
A week before the U.S. captured Venezuela's leader, JD Vance reportedly met at a private Montana ski club with John Addison, an oil trader who had given $300,000 to help elect Vance to the Senate in 2022. Vance allegedly asked how fast Venezuela's oil could be sold if America took control of it.
Both men deny the meeting.
Flight records show their planes parked together that day.
Two days after the Venezuela operation, Energy Secretary Chris Wright called Addison and offered his company, Vitol, the job of selling Venezuela's oil. There was no public bidding. Vitol and one rival have since made hundreds of millions of dollars.
Addison and his wife also gave $7 million to help elect Trump, and he now chairs a board advising Secretary Wright.
Congress has a duty to act.
We should bring Secretary Wright, Vitol, and Addison in to testify under oath. We should demand the phone records, emails, and flight logs. We should find out whether anyone got a heads-up about a military operation. And we should require open, competitive bidding before any company profits from our foreign policy.
If nothing was wrong, let’s see the records.

@SouthernKeeks The biggest influencers in 2026 were Trump and the GOP candidates. They influenced millions of people to vote for Democrats or not vote at all.
Guys I'm sure it's just a concidence that Kyle & Brandon Lutnick increased their stake in Intel by almost 2,000% at the same time that Daddy anounced the federal gov't was taking an unprecedented 10% stake in Intel. https://t.co/Z5NM6fXfI0
These clowns have no credibility. Zero.
The only people who suppressed Republican votes in Arizona in 2022 were Kari Lake, Kelli Ward (then AZGOP Chair) and party leaders (to include Turning Point), who told their own voters not to vote early.
All those ballots were pushed onto one day.
Only a couple of vote centers in Maricopa County had lines longer than 30 minutes. None had waits of 2 hours or more. And the misinformation Lake and Ward pushed all through Election Day wasn't exactly encouraging their own voters to show up.
Whatever blame they want to cast can only be cast on themselves. Four years later and this is crystal clear to see.
The Trump campaign (and Turning Point) changed its tactics in 2024 (back to the pre-2020 AZGOP tactic), focusing on banking as many votes as possible, because it knows the 2022 plan run by Lake and Ward was a failure. The numbers show it.
They can't rewrite history. That’s why Lake is nothing more than a punchline these days.
Everyone defending Jensen is trying to make it about the sex.
It’s not about the sex.
It’s about how he enabled and even lobbied for Chinese AI, about how he subverted US policy, and how he carelessly left himself vulnerable to both blackmail and espionage.
And it’s about how he utterly blew off the problems inherent appearance of conflict of interest, to the peril of his company, his country, and his industry.
He also left Nvidia open to endless litigation and investigation (which is why they may be forced to fire him despite his immense talents).
The fact that he also slept with an employee is just icing on the cake, in a way that further emphasizes his poor judgment, and that would only make the shareholder lawsuits worse.
Firing him will be a huge blow, but keeping him on is no longer tenable, either.
The spy affair is a sideshow.
The real risk is that the entire AI stack rests on a handful of single points of failure with no real succession plans:
• Jensen Huang = Nvidia
• Elon Musk = SpaceX & Tesla
• Mark Zuckerberg = Meta
• Dario Amodei = Anthropic
• Sam Altman = OpenAI
Marcus Aurelius was the last of Rome’s Five Good Emperors. He named his son Commodus as successor. That one decision kicked off the long decline of classical civilization.
We are building the most powerful technology in history on the exact same fragile foundation.
What happens if one more of them is gone tomorrow?
@VerumVulnero1 Not a Galloway fan but this is an example of why people shouldn’t get too worked up over cherry picked clips. They’re usually intentionally misleading.
