A Supreme Court Justice can only be removed from office through impeachment by the House and conviction by the Senate. This process is outlined in Article III of the Constitution, which states that Supreme Court Justices, "shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour". Vote blue.

Going blindly into war tends to end poorly and end in decades-long entanglements with no real victory or closure (Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, Korea).

President Donald Trump has long advocated for keeping the US out of Middle Eastern wars. By joining Israel’s offensive against Iran, he is making a dramatic geopolitical u-turn.

Posse Comitatus Act: prohibits the use of US military from acts of law enforcement or policing. Mike Johnson wants Gov Newsome "tarred and feathered" for demanding Military leave CA. Please vote for people who believe in the rule of law, not the cult of personality. The Constitution needs help

DoD Secretary Pete Hegseth shared details about an imminent attack on Houthis in Yemen in March in a second group chat using the messaging app Signal that included his wife, his brother and his personal lawyer, according to ABC News. The DUI hire has got to go.

The Federal Reserve should not and must not be a political entity. Its job is to control and limit inflation, not provide a salve for a horrendously stupid economic policy. Be very concerned about who Trump may want to replace Powell.

The idea of using tariffs to bring back manufacturing is nonsensical: (1) it takes years to build factories, (2) service jobs earn more than factory jobs-the whole reason we did it this way, (3) even if there were factories that sprung up overnight, the labor costs would still be uncompetitive...
