This is how we ram through the green new deal, health care for all, 15 dollar minimum wage, sensible gun laws etc!

Oh and this is how we get back the SCOTUS seat that was stolen from Obama as well!!

Thanks GOP and tRump for opening that unshutable door!!!!

as soon as we take thee White House and immediately put them on an affordable plan like Medicare. Even if they are "under 50". It should be a "day 1" promise.

That is not how democracy functions.
The primary function of Congress as specified in the Constitution is to pass laws and appropriate money. Trump is simply bypassing Congress since he doesn't agree with their law or appropriation. He will fail, and future attempts to subvert this critical check and balance should also fail.

Chief resigned yesterday. We need to get a meme going that's it's time to implement the 25th. Riff off the publicity of McCabe's book to do it. They must be awful close to indicting Jr. If he's getting this desperate. Today's been one of the more intense news cycles in recent memory.

Even if we ARE due a pendulum swing back to full control, one day unfortunately it will yet again swing to them.

I don't know if vigorous use of this is a good idea or not.
