I'm absolutely livid!

20. You are definitely not alone!

I'm livid myself, and I don't have nearly many reasons as you do! I'm upset that my daughter won't get the student loan relief she was hoping for, and I have been livid about the Dobbs decision for the past year, but I'm relatively insulated from the direct effects of most of the other recent decisions. If anyone ever comes for my Social Security and/or Medicare as the Republicans keep threatening to do, I'll be incandescent with rage, but that hasn't happened yet, thank God. So far, I'm mostly just sitting here being angry on behalf of everyone who is getting screwed over by SCOTUS, even though a lot of it doesn't have a direct impact on me personally. *way sigh*

I'm absolutely with you on expanding the court, and I'm cautiously hopeful that Biden will change his tune once he's reelected to his second and last term, especially if we can get control of the House and flip some more Senate seats. An effort to expand the court wouldn't go anywhere right now anyway, as long as Kevin and the Chaos Caucus are running things in the House.

We just need to hang tight for now and concentrating on winning the 2024 election. It's hard, I know, and I feel lousy saying that, but I don't see what else we can do. In the meantime, go ahead and be livid. You have every right!
