If the Democratic Party takes Congress in 2026, the first thing they should do is end the Senate filibuster. It’s a rule that if it ever did serve a purpose, it now prevents any opportunity for Congress to challenge a POTUS that does not respect the rule of law. It’s not in the constitution.

Additional Supreme Court reforms needed. Expand the Court: Expanding the Court aligns with historical precedent. As documented by the Supreme Court itself.

Appoint an independent Judicial Council for SCOTUS: If we accept that no person is above the law, then indeed we need an enforcement mechanism to hold Supreme Court Justices accountable.

Georgia election workers Shaye Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman were threatened after the 2020 election. In December 2023, a judge ordered Donald Trump associate Rudy Giuliani to pay the pair $148 million in damages after he falsely accused them of election fraud in 2020.

#DemocratsAreMAGAInSheepsClothing: "Schiff's record on foreign policy, civil liberties, human rights and other key issues has often put him more in line with Republicans than with liberal Democrats," international affairs scholar Stephen Zunes told me. Klein recalled, "The most Schiff was willing to move was from the Blue Dogs to slightly less odious New Democrats."

A Message to Progressives: Adam Schiff Is Not Your Friend

While tenaciously challenging a despicable president who should be impeached, we should be aware that the California Democrat remains deeply enmeshed with corporatism and militarism.

It provides no answers for the obvious cover-up and fails to hold anyone accountable. However, the report didn’t shy away from naming names.
Although damning, the DOJ stopped short of filing any charges or recommending the firings of any local, state, or federal law enforcement officers or authority figures involved in the failure to save lives for the sake of promoting themselves as heroes. Despite the obvious negligence, and ultimately, culpability, the report doesn’t mention the word ā€œnegligentā€ or ā€œnegligenceā€ once.
