I genuinely want to learn. Please explain this: After the financial crisis, media was blamed for not blowing whistle loudly enough ahead of time to protect "public." Now, media cautions about $GME mania to try to protect "public" and is told public doesn't need protection.
AP, NYT, and Fox News have declared Democratic nominee Joe Biden the next president.
No matter who you supported in this election, it’s essential for us to make our political system work better for all Americans. We must unite as a country.

This election reaffirms the importance of constitutionalism and federalism. Stop giving the federal government—and especially the president—so much unwarranted power and making the presidency something to obsess over. Localism means more happy people.
It looks like Georgia is heading for one or even two Senate runoff elections. With #RankedChoiceVoting we would have a result now and save Georgia millions of dollars.

End civil asset forfeiture.
End the drug war.

To fix America’s corruption crisis, we need to go around Congress & pass powerful anti-corruption laws ourselves.
✅ End gerrymandering
✅ Implement Ranked Choice Voting
✅ End dark money

Vetoes tell you a lot about a president’s priorities. Donald Trump has issued only eight vetoes as president. FIVE of the eight are vetoes of legislation that would prevent him from transferring weapons of war or engaging in military hostilities without congressional approval.
@LisaForCongress Lisa, can you let us know how you feel about the President's confirmed remarks about his feelings towards our veterans, describing them as "losers" and "suckers"? https://t.co/gtzqVFRCDZ
Congressional leaders don’t care about the legislative process. They don’t care about what a bill really says or whether a bill actually works. They care about political messaging. Congress is performance art.
The two-party system—with its pervasive hyperpartisanship and disregard for the structures of government—is *the* existential threat to our republic. Everything else is just a sideshow.
The Framers of the Constitution made Congress the most powerful of the three branches, which means they had the most power to cede through neglect, incompetence, and dysfunction. And they’ve ceded nearly all of it.
@RepPaulMitchell@GovWhitmer Unfortunately, I don’t have your deep pockets nor your ego to do so Paul. I simply wanted a rep who cared to help our community since we got zero representation from you during your tenure.
