We need a Convention of States because Washington has proven, repeatedly, that it will not meaningfully restrain itself. This isn’t really a Republican vs. Democrat issue. It’s a question of incentives. We expect members of Congress to voluntarily limit their own power, limit how long they can hold that power, and limit how much money they can spend. Why would they? Congress is not going to impose meaningful term limits on itself. Congress is not going to force itself to balance the budget. Congress is not going to willingly surrender powers that Washington has accumulated over generations. We’ve been waiting for the federal government to fix the federal government. That’s the problem. The Founders anticipated that possibility. Article V gives the states a constitutional mechanism to propose amendments when Congress refuses to act. It requires applications from 34 states to trigger a convention for proposing amendments, and any proposed amendment still requires ratification by 38 states. That is an extraordinarily high bar. And it should be. Changing the Constitution should require overwhelming agreement. But consider what could finally be put before the states: Term limits for Congress. A balanced-budget requirement with carefully defined emergency provisions. Real limits on federal spending and debt. Limits on the power and jurisdiction of the federal government. Potential restraints on an unelected administrative bureaucracy that has grown far beyond anything the Founders could have imagined. None of this requires Americans to agree on every political issue. You can be conservative, liberal, libertarian, independent, or politically homeless and still recognize a basic truth: No institution should be expected to permanently police its own power. Elections matter, but elections alone haven't solved the structural problem. We replace politicians while leaving the same incentives, the same debt machine, the same permanent bureaucracy, and the same concentration of power in place. Article V provides another constitutional check. Not revolution. Not abandoning the Constitution. Using the Constitution. The states created the federal government. The states were also given a constitutional mechanism to restrain it when Washington becomes unwilling to restrain itself. A Convention of States requires 34 states. Ratification requires 38. We're closer than many Americans realize - 20 states are on board already The question now is whether we keep asking Washington to voluntarily give up power... or whether the states finally use the constitutional authority they were given to impose limits Washington will never impose on itself.

Brewers sweep the Dodgers and now we just need the Rays to knock off the Indians

It's obvious at this point. Putin isn't a good guy by any means, but Zelenskyy is just as bad if not worse

Lol mention Zalenskyy is an idiot and his supporting retards come out in full force. I didn't even say I was opposed to Ukraine, in fact I said I didn't want them to lose - just said Zalenskyy has made a lot of mistakes. And they lose their minds! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let Russia and Ukraine figure it out. The US needs to keep our Patriot missiles in our arsenal. Sorry, America First.

Cut it.

Zalenskyy missed multiple off ramps to get out of this war.

Listen up. To everyone crying about the raid on Ilhan Omar's home will amount to nothing - you're totally wrong. It takes MONTHS just to get to this point. Lots of digging, investigating and following up on leads - all just to get a search warrant. Now it's going to take MONTHS to comb through the evidence gathered and follow up on that. Then they'll have to refer it to the DOJ who will then have to make a case from all of the evidence. Now factor in how fast the courts work just to get hearings - we're still 9 month away from anything else happening. Things are happening, but the FBI is under no obligation to provide play-by-play updates to the X crowd. I understand why there's almost no faith in our institutions, but this is how they get the faith back.
