I had an insightful conversation recently with a former politician wherein we commiserated at the lack of internationalism among progressive/left/pro-democracy forces, even as the right excels at it. It would require, imo, Americans embracing this kind of thing

In a normal U.S. government, the Vice President would consult the Cabinet about invoking Amendment 25. If a majority of the Cabinet agreed, the VP would assume presidential power.
If not the Cabinet, Congress can appoint a body to do that.

BREAKING: DOJ has failed to indict Letitia James for a THIRD time! It's like Christmas around here!
Do it. Take these to another grand jury. Then a 2nd and a 3rd, until we get a breaking news story about how much you suck at this. And if you do manage to get a true bill, we can watch you lose again in pretrial motions. Do it! I live to watch you lose! www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
