My current bottom line on donations to Democrats.

[Fiendish Thingy]

1. I have but one criteria for donations

Do you support expanding the Supreme Court to neutralize the corrupt MAGA majority?

(And if running for senate, are you willing to kill the filibuster to do so?)

Everything else that matters to me or anyone else flows downhill from there.

Without killing the filibuster, any legislation to repair the damage of the Trump era and restore rights will be stalled.

Without expanding the court, any legislation that is passed can be overturned by the current corrupt court.

Of course, expanding the court will have to wait until 2029, but there are people running for senate now who will be in office then.

And no, I do not fear “the republicans will just do the same thing when they are back in power”.

The courage to govern fearlessly and unhesitatingly is implicit in the willingness to kill the filibuster and expand the court. If that happens, republicans won’t get a trifecta again for a generation (see FDR and the New Deal).
