Congrats schlepp. You have one massively impressive man as your us senator.

In Idaho we get to keep 170* year old Jim Risch another 6 years.

*83 yrs old actually.

How the f does an 83 yr old win an election?

Back to the man of the moment.
El Sayed has as clear an articulated vision to resolve Israel/Palestinianconflict as I've ever heard spoken. Common sense. Hmm. Go figure.

It starts with a very simple common sense approach. All children deserve equal protections from violence.

Apply that paradigm to nearly every policy... Winner winner chicken dinner.
DUH!

Abdul had an extended conversation with Joes panel. They touched on much. And nearly every solution offered from the junior senator was based in common sense. Ideas anybody could understand and nod along with while wondering why aren't we already doing this. Ideas like get rid of massive ominous bills and focus on solving 1 problem at a time. His example was lettuce. Let's pass a " stop crap on our lettuce bill". That's all it accomplished. Making lettuce safe again. 2 pages. 1 problem.

Where as an omnibus bill is often 1000 pages and has pork hidden thru out. Ppl- the voters hate that. The " 1 big beautiful bill" is a good example. Let everything rise or fall on its own. Those omnibus bills are a main source of legalized corruption & government waste. The infamous bridge to nowhere in alaska. A multi million project that would have helped about a dozen ppl. That was pork hidden in an omnibus bill. It became a scandal.

With out of control fed deficits and nearly every politician claiming they want to stop waste fraud and abuse? Ending the tradition of Omnibus bills would be a great place to begin.
Duh. Common sense.

I'm reminded of Jimmy Carter. He had many common sense ideas. But the Washington machine wanted to keep the corruption incentives.
Tread carefully Abdul. Folks with a corrupt nature are attracted to politics bc kickbacks are seen as legal by the folks making the laws. An honest politician gets stonewalled, blamed and destroyed quickly w/o 1st building a consensus & a movement. Not to say it's a bad idea. But ya can't go it alone without a large coalition agreeing the time has come for reform.

Jimmy Carter found that out the hardway- instead of winning the issue. Congress sat on their hands and did nothing. Blamed Carters leadership and he's now recognized by most as one of worst presidents in modern history.
