"I regard [the President] as a foolish and stubborn man, doing even right things in a wrong way, and in a position where the evil that he does is immensely increased by the manner of his doing it."

-- Senator John Sherman of Ohio, on President Andrew Johnson, March 1, 1868.

"i dont want to vote trump or biden bc they both suck" VOTE THIRD PARTY THEN!! If we don't all do it, it reinforces the idea that our votes don't matter. if you vote for one over the other, they think they can get away w the two party system. if you don't vote at all, they won't even know the difference because they'll still have a winner and no third-party contenders. if you want the electoral college gone, VOTE THIRD PARTY! they won't listen until we make them. this is called political efficacy. stop believing it's hopeless bc that is how they have the power to keep making decisions that the people don't agree with.

Senate Chamber Program for Friday: Senate will resume consideration of the House Message to accompany H.R. 4366, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024. Senators should expect a live quorum at approximately 10 a.m., with the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to concur ripening at 12 noon.

The deadline for the six appropriations bills in this minibus is midnight. The Senate is expected to vote on several amendments today, all of which will be defeated, otherwise the bill would have to return to the Senate. Expect a vote early this afternoon and President will sign it this evening. This will end the drama for 30% of the Federal Government, setting their funding for the rest of the fiscal year (five and a half months).

The deadline for the other six bills is March 22nd. Two weeks away.

Senator Feinstein was a true trailblazer and a legend of California politics. The past couple of years have been a sad end to her career, but she should be remembered for her many, many remarkable accomplishments -- from steering San Francisco through the dark days following the assassinations of Mayor George Moscone of Supervisor Harvey Milk to her ceiling-shattering service as the longest-serving woman in the history of the United States Senate.

There is absolutely no sane world in which we should have to endure a Biden-Trump rematch 🙄

How did the worst candidates manage to do this well? Other than name recognition????

Seriously how did this happen other than the establishment of both parties trying to throw support to the candidates they thought were “safer” in the most out of touch way possible! Did they not poll people about which candidates they actually wanted? Because literally everyone I have spoken to across the political spectrum is not happy with either candidate? I wrote in a leftist candidate named Cornel West who was running as an independent in the primaries and I guess that’s as productive a vote as any at this point 🤷🏼‍♀️. It kind of feels like for the primaries the vote doesn’t even matter this time because they purposely set it up this way. It doesn’t seem very democratic does it?

I should clarify that voting in the general election is still important to at least hopefully get some progressive candidates in the house of representatives and in the senate. That could be vital to protecting ourselves from another coup.

Let’s also not forget that there were WOMEN candidates running in both major parties (Williamson-D, Haley-R) who were not neck deep in the grave that were passed over for older men.

LITERARY DIGEST, March 19, 1927. Adjusting for inflation, Babe Ruth's 1927 salary was equivalent to approximately $1.25 million in 2024 money. He earned his keep by hitting 60 home runs as the Yankees cruised to a World Series championship.

Only a few weeks left to vote in the California Primary. I’m running this year for US Senate. I’ve tried voting for the least worst politicians and that hasn’t worked.

As a experiment I’m promoting Campaign Finance Reform with my campaign. I think the only people who count are the ones with the right to vote. Corporations aren’t people, they’re property.

Time for the We The People Amendment! Vote for John Rose and join with me for campaign finance reform.
