Arizona seniors have paid into Social Security for decades, allowing them to have a dignified retirement. I won’t let anyone take away their hard-earned benefits.

🚨 BREAKING: President Biden's term concludes with zero political appointees indicted or convicted, and no cabinet resignations over impropriety—an ethical benchmark rarely seen, especially in contrast to Trump's administration. Well done!

Holy shit, one of the most conservative people in America, George Will, has endorsed Kamala Harris for President over trump.
I don't care how reluctant he was to do so; I care that he did it.
Every single Republican who cares about the future of America needs to follow his example.
Country over party.
“It is true Trump was invited—but he was not invited by all the families of all the 400,000 veterans and dependents that are buried at Arlington who did not and cannot consent to be used as props and a backdrop,” says @chrislhayes on Trump campaigning at Arlington Cemetery.
Right now, home ownership is out of reach for too many Americans.
When California’s own Vice President Kamala Harris is President of the United States, we will end the housing shortage by building 3 million homes and rentals.
It’s time for new leadership! The unchecked tide of waste coming into our state negatively impacts the health of NH families statewide. It’s time to stop the garbage and do better for the Granite State. As governor, I will! #NHPolitics
Half our landfills are full of out-of-state garbage & the toxins end up in our drinking water. As governor, I’ll cut the trash coming into our state & ban landfills next to our lakes & state parks because we’ve had enough of this garbage! 🚛 🗑️ #NHPolitics
📌Just spent the afternoon with hundreds of other patriots welcoming President Joe Biden to Madison, Wisconsin. The man gave a helluva speech, and if it is reported any other way it is complete bullshit.
Four more years!
@RickFreedland How can the GOP support, & MAGA not see through the veil of lies by Trump, and NOW former Pres. hiding from the public’s view? He cannot speak coherently and describe his policy intentions. Support the intelligent Incumbent!!
We are facing the most dangerous period in our constitutional history. There are forces trying to destroy our democracy.
Not one constitutional expert agrees with the immunity ruling. Both Republicans and Democrats agree.
The normal disposition of this case should have been very simple. All actions within the scope of the official acts of the Presidency are immune from prosecution. All other acts such as——-name them are not immune. Be specific.
Such a dramatic change in my opinion should be in the form of a Constitutional Amendment or remain as decided by the lower appellate court until the amendment is passed.
Ideally it should read as for example the 14 th Amendment. Whether by amendment or Supreme Court as follows:
The President is immune from prosecution for all Official Acts within the scope of his authority.
Such scope is as follows:
1. Declaring War
2. Choosing his or her cabinet.
3. Taking any action to prevent a health emergency.
4. And any acts necessary to protect the health and safety of the American People subject to the approval as soon as possible by a majority of Congress.
These are hypotheticals. Add or subtract as Congress shall agree by a majority.
It is critical to state all actions that are considered to be definitively within the control of the President. All others outside the perimeter of such power requires the consent of a majority of Congress.
There may be variations of this proposal but it is critical that the President does not have unlimited powers
And state what the official acts are:
It was never the intention of the Founders or the Constitution to permit Presidents to have unlimited powers. Quite the opposite. That is why we fought the Revolutionary War.
Trump is a traitor. A convict. Never elected by a majority of the voters nor is the Supreme Court yet they are assuming powers far beyond the spirit and meaning of the Constitution.
There is no need for judges and Congress. The President can do it all. The Congress and SCt hasn’t realized that this all powerful President can do away with them as well.
We need to march on Washington and the Supreme Court. Now!!!!
