Fortunately, congress does have the power to impeach and remove a supreme court judge.

I heard this eloquent way of saying it the other day:

The IRS doesn’t have the money to go after people with money.

Right? Is this really news to anyone (including his supporters)?

I hope people do get scared, so they’ll get out and vote.

Unfortunately, I don’t think that Bernie would have been able to make as much of an impact as he wanted. Congress is more responsible for long term changes than the president and Bernie’s ideals are left of most of the Democratic party, so I don’t think they would have been as cooperative as he/we would have liked.

Also, if he was elected, we still would have elected the oldest president ever. I’d rather our government wasn’t a retirement home.

12 years. Haven’t browsed Reddit since the blackout. Still end up there sometimes from search results, but I no longer participate. Thinking about hosting my own Lemmy instance.

Bills that she has sponsored or co-sponsored, including ones that have passed

The site is a great place to start if you want to find out what a congressperson has actually done. It doesn’t paint the whole picture as committee work is pretty important too and isn’t always represented by a specific bill, but still useful.

In my opinion, she has one huge thing going for her and it’s the fact that she doesn’t belong in a retirement home. We need more young people in Congress, regardless of their party affiliation.

It’s by far the most popular PC game distribution in the world. Yes, people launch games and then browse while waiting.
