Thank you for constructive thinking. Requiring compact districts is a big step forward. Objective math could also maximize 50-50 voting districts since the prior census. We the People could thus empower voters instead of the incumbent officeholders. nytimes.com/2025/08/12/opi…

In all the excitement about knife fights, no one addresses how to make all legitimate votes count fairly and equally. It can be done. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…
A government based on We the People should protect voters, not officeholders. Surely the long-term solution is to maximize the number of 50-50 districts. That can be accomplished with the same math that gerrymanders districts now. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…
Two neglected questions: Why did MAGA ever cultivate deep state conspiracies about Epstein? His skirt-chasing palhood with the future prez was hardly a secret. Also, why does a newsmaking revolt not include MAGA's professed Christian moralists? washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…
MAGA sickness and rot here in a nutshell, so to speak. nytimes.com/2025/07/03/us/…
Flagellation is catnip for our media. Parties don't jettison incumbent presidents easily (LBJ '68). Democrats functioned well through an upbeat transition. They lost a close election on immigration, inflation, and cultivated cynicism. @jaketapper @CNN washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…
Are they both single? What is the "disaster" but prurience flogged by the press? washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/05…
Schumer is not an eloquent voice for Democrats, but he was right not to shut down the government. It would give Trump extended, explicit authority to determine what's "essential." Dems would have even less leverage. Red hots are not always wise. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

This is a smarter way to fight Trump's agenda than letting him shut down the U.S. government all at once, leaving Elon to decide what's essential from the ground up. I think Sen. Schumer may be right, however much critics want to sound virile. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend. History will not be kind to…
