A New Mexico state judge has already thrown out a county commissioner who participated in the January 6th insurrection. The Committees on Administration in each house could recommend standards for each section and the current majority of each could apply those to prospective House members and report to the full body recommended amendments to Federal election law affecting all other state and federal offices. The are arguments that such an amendment is not subject to the filibuster. From JudithK Walters to Everyone 04:31 PM Thank you!

So distracting to see all the chat. From Marcus Perriello to Everyone 04:41 PM Part of Universal Healthcare should (in my opinion) include reforming our Education system by making Basic Medical Training a core part of the national Public curriculum. This would give us more people per capita with basic medical knowledge and training than any other country, making the field more mainstream and less specialized, reducing overall costs. If the Pandemic has shown us anything, it’s that we can do from home many things we would typically go to a doctor’s office for. I say we should build on that and make Healthcare Training a mainstay of American Education.

From Jill Hinckley to Everyone 05:12 PM If Johnson & Johnson prevails and, as Berg puts it, “weasels its way out of everything,” the case could usher in a new era in which the government has diminished power to enforce consumer-protection laws, citizens don’t get to make their case before a jury of their peers when those laws fail, and even corporations with long histories of documented harm will get to decide how much, if anything, they owe their victims. Johnson and Johnson avoiding jury trials about cancer-causing talcum powder -- the company embraced a strategy to circumvent juries entirely. Deploying a legal maneuver first used by Koch Industries, Johnson & Johnson, a company valued at nearly half a trillion dollars, with a credit rating higher than that of the United States government, declared bankruptcy to avoid paying out to claimants.

The left have so many creative young people who would love to create important content in a way that appeals to the masses, in a way that leaves a voter on the fence with a feeling of…..”I guess my values are more in line with the Democratic values.” It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money…there are kids who could use these experiences for grades, or as part of their resume…etc. since it could be considered volunteering.
