25th Amendment: VP, majority Cabinet, then 2/3 each House and Senate.
I mean, come on folks.
Ready for Easter!

Oh they did? All by themselves? Did they show up all at once or arrive separately?
I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both

This is looting.
That cross!! Ashes are supposed to be a sign of repentance; not virtue signaling.
Actual Catholics aren’t performative about this — the cross is usually a bit uneven (and there’s a gradient in color) and it starts to fall off almost immediately.
Lack of humility defeats the point!
