every study of term limits shows that it makes pols less responsive to constituents and gives lots of power to staffers who have no commitment to constituents.
term limits are a shitty, counterproductive idea. I wish ppl woudl stop treating it like god's brainstorm.

If we had term limits for politicians, perhaps they'd spend more time caring about their constituents instead of kissing ass for reelection money from wealthy donors.
I often see ppl say things like, "this pol is only doing this thing/saying this because they think it will be popular"
which...yes? this is why politicians do things or say things.

If you live in Texas and are registered to vote, you can take the Deputy Voter Registrar training in your county and become a DVR. You can then help people register to vote in the counties in which you’re a DVR. Sorely needed. Texans can’t register to vote online. Seriously.

This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.
‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company
$500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

There is a geographically distinct “nation” within the American nation—the Neo-Confederate States—that refuses to accept the legitimacy of the US as a pluralistic democracy.
The invasion of Minnesota is the latest maneuver in that nation’s efforts to “reconstruct” the North by force.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.
Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.
And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.
The system is rigged.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
