Congress isn’t a gang, but it behaves like a cartelized political market:
• Members compete externally and collude internally
• Power blocs protect each other selectively
• Donors influence priorities
• Enforcement is strategic, not principled
It is a power-maximization not a governance-optimization
• Members compete externally and collude internally

"No one's going to build a factory based on a tariff that's on on Monday, off on... Tuesday, the president's changed his mind by Wednesday, he gets hormonal by Thursday and someone says something nasty in the middle school cafeteria on Friday and they're back on again."

Fox issues options for nov 21st last Friday and then the administration discloses (on Sunday) that they (fox) will be part of the tiktok deal… guess who bought the fox call options… Huge conflict of interest!

If you voted on promises to fix jobs, prices, health, and schools. But the administration breaks those promises and Congress looks away, who speaks for you? Leaders should answer to the people, not just cover for power.

If your Congress folks say “yes” just to protect the leader, even when laws or rights are at risk—ask them: who are you working for? The Constitution or your party?

Many believed voting meant holding power accountable. But when “loyalty” replaces fairness, trust breaks. Congress swore to protect the rulebook—why does it feel like some ignore it to back someone else?

You voted for leaders to represent you, not just to follow the President. When Congress picks people loyal to one person over what’s right for all of us—that’s not democracy, that’s letting politics win.

The Constitution should be our North Star. If executive, legislative, or judicial leaders put party above it, we risk weakening democracy itself.

Is it too late to fix the damage of the weakest cabinet in memory? The answer depends on courage — Congress and the people must demand competence over loyalty, before the cost becomes permanent.

Patriotism means putting the country first. Competence, integrity, and courage matter more than loyalty to any one person.

Approving weak nominees just to shield a president puts politics above the people. America deserves leaders chosen for service, not partisanship.

Senators swear to the Constitution, not to a party. Their duty is to vet nominees for competence and integrity, not to protect political allies.

When loyalty outweighs expertise, the nation suffers. Defense, Health, and State aren’t partisan jobs — they’re national responsibilities.

The president deserves trusted advisers. But trust alone isn’t enough. America needs leaders with skill, knowledge, and duty — loyalty and competence must go hand in hand.

If nothing changes, by 2029 separation of powers may exist only on paper.
1)Court seen as partisan
2)Gridlocked Senate blocks accountability
3)Elections locked into polarization
We must debate SCOTUS term limits, Senate reform, and new voting systems now—or risk hollow institutions later.

We need limits on executive emergencies, fair districts, and civic education before distrust becomes permanent.
