I know I'm just a worried senior citizen, but I have never seen such a spineless Congress, such a corrupt SCOTUS, or such an outlaw President in all my 75 years. We are losing our country and it is the fault of Congress.

Make it retroactive to January 20, 2025. He is NOT a dictator and must be physically stopped from acting like one, or he will not stop, and he is proving it daily. He will veto them of course, and the override must be INSTANT. If Congress doesn't do this they will continue to be useless.

Democrats (and non-MAGA Republicans) in both houses of Congress need to refuse any other business and advertise their intent all media, until laws are passed to restrict Trmp to Article 2, and include ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS up to and including detainment for infractions.

We need a coalition of People Who Know How It Works to rein him in. Obama, Biden, Harris, Cheney, even Pence. Stop him. Force obedience to Court Orders. Dismantle his Cabinet (fire for ineptitude). Overpower his unelected goons. Save governing agencies. The protestors were always right.

It is SO HARD to watch what is happening in this country, to the government that no longer follows its own rules. To the Congress that bows and scrapes to an executive who thinks he is a king. EVERY CONGRESSPERSON, EVERY SENATOR - you are TOAST in the next election, if there is one.

IF THERE ARE ANY REPUBLICAN CONGRESS MEMBERS HERE ON BLUESKY: Why have you relinquished your power? Do you think Trmp will reward you for your obedience? Or drop you like a sticky piece of dogshit when he no longer needs you? Think about what you are doing to this country. That is all.

How about somebody high up in government make a pact with a few others, some with General's rank, that states convicted felons CANNOT PARDON ANYBODY, re-arrest every J6 criminal, and start going after the thugs trying to take over our democracy. Let him sue to get his 'rights' back.

[continued letter to Congressman] - as you know. Make sure no business gets done in the House until this President is forced to follow the laws instead of trying to create his own. Thank you. Remember the three co-equal branches of government? He is taking your power away! Thank you!

I wrote to my Congressperson (and to Minority Leader Jeffries): Honorable Congressman: Please work with your colleagues in the House of Representatives to introduce Articles of Impeachment against the President, who is signing Executive Orders that break laws and contradict the Constitution.

I was offered a golden handshake to retire early from my civil service (school district) job. Fair pay, plus extra cash to leave now. No promises, no threats, no conditions. Certainly no loyalty requirement if you decide not to leave! That does NOT happen.

FYI: Part of the "woke" "DEI" training in the military is where they tell guys not to rape women. Republicans want that to stop. These are the same people who said my rape was my fault because rape is an "occupational hazard."

Joyce White Vance is painfully blunt. What a joke our government is becoming.

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

I wish I wish I wish I could post a different emoji than <3 on many comments. To "heart" a devastating or sad comment just because I agree with it seems wrong. Anybody Have a suggestion about that?

I have a (maybe dumb) question about BlueSky, can anybody enlighten me? When someone follows you, you see their bluesky tag but if it isn't obvious how does one find out who it actually is?

As a northern Californian with many relatives in SoCal, it is horrifying to see the devastation. Anyone who makes hay from their loss is a disgusting human. #helpLosAngeles
